Review on 🏃 Enhance Your Runs with Garmin Forerunner 245 Music: GPS Running Smartwatch with Music and Advanced Dynamics, White by Vivek Allen

Pros: Very durable - I wore this watch during the Super Spartan Race and it performed great for running, climbing/crawling over obstacles and occasional wetness proven immersion . To let. Small enough (not too bulky) to fit comfortably under my long sleeve compression shirt. Measures heart rate very accurately. Measures the tempo very accurately. Very accurate heart rate measurement (when switched on). an old Fitbit I used) can play music through the bluetooth headphone function; can send text messages to people using simple canned messages; if it did a good job counting steps if you can't wear a watch on your wrist for some reason (I'm an LMT and can't wear my watch all the time. But it still counts steps if it's next to you on your ankle, in your pocket or on a belt or belt loop) You can add widgets (apps) to help you keep track of things you find useful. You can add music providers to listen to your stations or playlists. The sleep function works correctly for me - now that it works, it doesn't always keep track of it for me. It's very tedious to set up - I recommend finding the person on YouTube who reviewed this watch and keeping an eye on them to make sure you're changing your settings to your liking. At first I tried to do it myself and I got something. but they have very detailed reviews that don't miss a thing. Overall this is a great watch if you give it time when you first get it to change its settings to help you the most. Keep in mind that if a feature doesn't work for you or you don't like the way it is, most likely it can be modified to better suit your needs. (I didn't like the heart rate monitor at all when I was running and exercising, but after changing my settings to track my pace during exercise, I really saw a feature in this watch that my other watches didn't have)
