A completely ordinary product, nothing remarkable.

Because this is a fake, send it back. If you are happy with the English-language version, you can either purchase it or become bewildered by a flashing

Pros
  • Good timepiece, quick shipping
Cons
  • Since this watch is made for the Asian market and not for the year 2022, there is no language for that year.

The best sports smartwatch!

One of Garmin's valuable products, in terms of battery life, it's a bit long-lasting compared to other smartwatches and sleep tracking, you feel pretty accurate. Overall, this is a good buy for people who are crazy about sports smartwatches!

Pros
  • Easy to set up
Cons
  • Not as thick as other models

Good watch, never paired with Garmin Express via USB

Overall great part, GPS and optical HRM are on top. Pairs easily with Garmin pedometers and bike speed sensors. Battery life is good but suffers badly when using GPS. The main complaint is that my device was NEVER connected to my PC via a USB connection, not a Garmin Express, and was never able to recognize it as a mass storage device for downloading music. Tried EVERYTHING Garmin has to offer for troubleshooting. Power cycling, different USB ports, USB driver updates and rollbacks, putting the

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Slightly dented

New Runner Review Works with running GPS modules

I love my 745. I'm a new runner and the Daily Recommended Exercises feature helped me focus on my training. I'm not a competitive rider, but Garmin seems to take a balanced approach to training, offering activities that help build altoism and avoid injury is all I need. If you are a very experienced runner I believe this watch will also come in handy, but I can't comment on that.

Pros
  • Change up your training routine anytime with preloaded activity profiles for running, triathlon, multisport, cycling, pool swimming, track running and more
Cons
  • boring packaging

Honest Review: GPS, Finder and Accessories

Watch looks good enough but all mistakes time if Connection to third-party applications (Strava). Some functions do not work (emergency notification). There are similar watches on the market much cheaper. In my opinion, Garmin resembles a kind of school bully, strong and agile, but always lagging behind in terms of technology. Bottom line, it's better to buy either a cheaper analogue, or more expensive than the apple giant.

Pros
  • Analyze more data to unlock your racing potential including improved run, bike and swim dynamics
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Not-So-Great Multisport Watch

Very light and good size for small wrists. The sleep tracking gadget is disabled so it doesn't work. The battery life is the worst I've seen from a GPS watch, even when used without music I don't think this watch would be useful for a semi-ironman or a marathon longer than 4.5 hours. Wrist-based heart rate and GPS accuracy are okay, but this is the worst Garmin I've had. I run 120 minutes a day and drive 80-100 miles a week, so the 745 needs to be charged a lot.

Pros
  • Put music every mile by syncing with music streaming services (Premium subscription required) like Amazon Music, Deezer, Spotify and more to store up to 500 songs easily and from your wrist off to play
Cons
  • Expensive

really cool for doing runs

So far, so good. It often shows up on the watch face while running and is "always on" (or mostly like that). So you can hold the tempo for a long time or check the average value. HR is very simple. i love watches I'm not running with music at the moment, so I can't comment on that. (Wish I could remap the dedicated music button to something else, like an action.) The watch overall is amazing - amazing - amazing to run. It syncs quickly after launch. I paired it with a Garmin HRM. If you need a…

Pros
  • Get daily recommendations for running and cycling on your device, based on your current training load and VO2max.
Cons
  • old
