Review on πŸƒ Garmin Forerunner 745: Advanced GPS Running Watch with Detailed Stats and On-Device Workouts by Ted Slaughter

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Bitter disappointment

I have owned and trained with Garmin manufacturers for 15 years. I'm getting more and more disappointed with what they offer. Keep in mind that wrist heart rate measurement is very inaccurate. Because accurate heart rate affects other data on the device, it is also at risk. Attempts to pair this with the HRM-Pro were so disappointing that I decided to return this device. Also keep in mind that trying to connect a new Garmin device to your Connect account doesn't work, at least for me. I had to create a new account to even connect this device and lost 4 years of data as a result. I regret the purchase as my 235 was as good if not better than the 745. The only improvements are the battery life which is great and the quality and feel of the strap and buckle. However, this feature is not recommended.

Pros
  • Ease of use
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide
