My Good Running Partner~~
It's been 3 years since I bought it, and I've been using it well and it's been helpful, and I've been able to understand my body condition better. However, I feel that the battery is draining too quickly, pairing with my smartphone isn't working well, and the accuracy of various values is decreasing. ㅠㅠ

Watch Faces
Lost my old 245 which had the opportunity to change watch faces as needed without having to hook up with garmin express. This new watch will not allow that, and is not compatible with my lap top plug wise. How can I bipass this and change faces without having to use an extra step.

The Charging Issue Is Very Frustrating.
I bought my Forerunner 245 Music about a year ago and it was worked fine originally. For the past month, charging has been an issue and it now won't charge at all. The port is obviously a unique design so you need to go and find a replacement cable just to check where the issue is. Forums and Reddit are full of similar issues and various home remedies to solve them. It seems bizarre they haven't just improved the design itself.

Inaccurate Measurement
I’m terribly disappointed over this watch. When I run 10 kilometers it measures up to 1 kilometer wrong. It has also measured wrong multiple times when swimming in pool. It also takes about a minute to get the pulse measured so it’s no use on intervals either.

I Love My Watch
I've been using my Forerunner 245 Music for about a month now. At first, I was a little wary of the change (I used to have a Venu Sq) because I thought that one tracked everything I could possibly need. Boy, was I wrong. Don't get me wrong, the Venu is still a good watch, but I wanted to take my training to the next level, and the Forerunner not only tracks my runs more accurately (GPS feature, and I can review more stats on the watch while I run), but it is also way more user friendly for strength training tracking. Would definitely recommend if you are someone who trains multiple disciplines at the same time.

Great Watch, Lots Of Features, Battery Issues.
This is my first Garmin watch. I enjoy the watch and I have been gaining a lot of insights into my training. I still have a lot to learn. The watch has a ton of features, unfortunately, all these features can be a huge battery drain. I am learning what features to use while maintaining a decent battery life. I found it very helpful that when I was having trouble with the battery I could find answers online easily. I enjoy my Garmin and look forward to using it for many years to come.

Fone Sem Fio, Bluetooth
Meu fone sem fio bluetooth, AirPod pro da Apple, se conecta ao relógio porém as músicas ficam falhando o tempo todo. Isso é insuportável. Adquiri a função music justamente para não precisar levar o celular pra correr, mas a conexão do relógio com o fone é péssima!!!

Cool And Minimal With Great Features
I’m coming from a Fitbit and it was a bit harder to use at first due to it not being touchscreen and honestly now I love it so much. My favorite would be the pacing feature!

Missing Features...
Previously I had a Samsung Galaxy Watch Active, and I was unhappy with the frequent need for battery recharging. I bought Garmin cause friends told me the battery would last longer, and it does. But, now I miss being able to synchronize Garmin Connect with my Multilaser Digital Scale HC059 (which worked perfectly with Samsung Health); I miss being able to turn off alarms and timers set up in the mobile phone just using the smartwatch (seems there is no way I can do it with Garmin); and I miss the touch screen (although I was aware Garmin didn't have one). Besides, I found it a bit tricky to understand and use. I have been watching videos besides reading the manual in order to fully enjoy it. But I tell you this, there is a lot of things in it and it is not easy to find them. So far, I am still missing my Samsung smart watch. Hope I come to better interact with my Garmin and just overcome the previous one. In addition, I only had two apps with the precious one: Samsung Wear and the scale on (FitDays). Now I need Garmin Connect and Connect IQ just for starters, but I realized I may need some others in order to properly interact with other activities... I really haven't realized that.

All That I Need
I was given this for my birthday and I love it! Best present ever. I used to use my phone all the time to track my running and it wasn’t that best thing, so this is a much better convenience. I Can also Connect my AirPods and listen to my music through there. It had everything I need on a run. It charges super quickly, and lasts for a good week. Highly recommend getting!

Nothing makes listening to music while running easier.
