 |
The average representative of the cavalry of Garmin multisport watches for runners from the American company's 2019 lineup. The version with the additional prefix Music has a built-in music player where you can "throw" about 500 audio tracks. The watch is sharpened in a waterproof case and can withstand diving to a depth of 50 m. Specially for adherents of water disciplines, they were “brought up” with several modes for swimming.
The main bet in the Garmin Forerunner 245 Music is made on advanced measurements of physical activity parameters when running (tempo, interval, distance, etc.). Also, the watch got hold of a pulse oximeter, a GPS module for accurate geopositioning in open areas and a built-in compass. The wearable gadget broadcasts real-time data on a transflective display with a 1.2-inch round dial. In smartwatch mode, the device works without a break to “refuel” the battery tanks for 7 days, a day with an active GPS module and 6 hours with GPS monitoring running, along with music playback.

Music fans take note
A sports wearable gadget from Garmin, unlike the Garmin Forerunner 245, received a built-in music player. It is designed for 500 music tracks, connects to headphones via Bluetooth and synchronizes with popular music services — Deezer and Spotify.
The Garmin Forerunner 245 Music can also use ANT+ for data transfer, which is useful for those who use sports or medical sensors compatible with this wireless technology.
Not running alone
First of all, the watch is positioned as a wearable gadget for runners. During a run, various parameters are recorded, including VO2 max (the maximum amount of oxygen absorbed per minute of exercise), aerobic and anaerobic effect, recovery time and readiness for the next workout, etc. And when paired with the RD Pod running dynamics sensor (sold separately), the range of data collection while running will become even wider.
The model will come in handy for cyclists, rowers and those who work out in the gym, and due to the waterproof case — for swimmers. For these workouts, the watch has its own profiles.
In everyday use, the gadget collects information about the steps and distance traveled (using GPS), performs round-the-clock monitoring of heart rate. By the way, the built-in Pulse OX heart rate monitor, in addition to the pulse, also evaluates blood oxygen saturation.
Economy Display
The model received a 1.2-inch transflective display that uses bright external light to illuminate the screen. Its use is the key to high battery life of the gadget. In normal mode, the watch will work up to 7 days, and with constantly active GPS from 6 (with music listening) to 24 hours (without a player). However the fact that the model does not have touch controls also contributes to the reduction in the frequency of recharging.
The interface of the gadget is quite simple, and the original watch faces and software are easy to replenish thanks to the Connect IQ app store.
In general, the Garmin Forerunner 245 Music is a worthy competitor to the top smartwatches from Samsung and Apple with good battery life and an emphasis on sports functionality.
