Review on πŸƒ Enhance Your Runs with Garmin Forerunner 245 Music: GPS Running Smartwatch with Music and Advanced Dynamics, White by John Bourgeois

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This watch can do everything

What can this watch not do? Tracks all my workouts with unlimited stats, charts and graphs (pace and speed, intervals, heart rate, elevation, map, cadence, training effect). I can even tell my watch my target pace or running distance. It tracks my sleep and tells me when I was in different sleep stages. I am fascinated by the load graph and the body's battery function. The watch is highly customizable and I keep glancing at it randomly to see my heart rate and daily steps. It also shows me notifications from my phone, so I can keep my phone hidden and not constantly tempted to check it. I basically chose this watch too because you can store your Spotify playlists on it and then walk around with music without your phone (needs Bluetooth headphones)! And if you're worried about running without your phone, it also has "incident detection" and can send your GPS location to emergency contacts. The battery life is excellent. And if you do get this watch, be sure to download the Garmin Connect app so you'll have more stats than you'll ever know what to do with. There's a lot this watch can do, and I've barely touched the surface of the features it offers. I have yet to try many of its other features simply because there is so much to explore.
