Garmin Products Are The Best

Has been really a great watch for the time I’ve had it (3 yrs). Had only a couple of issues with it and Garmin (SUPER SUPPORT TEAM) has always got me through it. Right now I’m considering moving up to the Forerunner 970. I’m a Vietnam Vet and have had AFIB issues and these watch would alert me so I know how to adjust what I do. Also being on a fixed income I’ll have to wait until the price comes down. If it performs better than the 745?I be SUPER GLAD. I won’t purchase any Smartwatch or any device like that from anybody else but GARMIN

Gg Great Garmin

Had my 745 for a while and it's everything I need. Great running watch. I run in the early morning darkness and it lights up with little more than a wrist flick. As an old guy it's a little harder in certain conditions to see the readout. Cycling in diminished light means I have to do a little more to see readout and that requires taking my hand off the handlebar. I've sort of gotten used to it. Overall happy with the watch. It's hung with me over thousands of miles of running, hiking, and cycling and have had no problems. I might eventually get another one or maybe go for an upgrade.

Size Is Prefect For Ladies

Smaller than the 945 but still has all of the features. Love the programmability

Is Working Well.

I have had this for just over a month. So far it’s working well. Just takes come getting used to and I am sure I have not used all the features yet. It’s more accurate I would say than my Apple Watch was. Very good product and the battery life is great!

Beats My Samsung Watch!

I brought this watch 1-2 weeks ago and I'm blown away by it. This is far better than my Samsung watch. I never dared to put my Samsung under water due to lack of resources saying it's WATER PROOF unlike the garmin. Best investment I have made, yet.

Loved It Until It Stopped Woeking

The heart rate monitor stopped working just short of 3 years after purchase. I would expect the money spent on this watch would have it lasting longer than that. While it worked, I have zero complaints.

Love It

I have had my watch for 3 years now with no issues.i love it! My only complaint is that none of the Garmin watches calculate pool swimming laps when you use a kickboard and kick.

Doesn't Charge

Got this as a refurbished watch and yet again another one is not working this is been my third refurbished watch that this has happened to

Worked Great. Until It Didn’t.

This particular 745 was a refurbished replacement since my other one died from moisture. Thought they were meant for swimming? About 100 days after arrival (10 days past warranty period) it decided to randomly shut down during activities. It does it multiple times with in minutes. It’s completely useless for gps tracking. It does function as a very expensive digital watch. So there’s that…. Looking for a replacement that isn’t a Garmin.

Battery Problems

Battery doesn't last like they say... even putting ok battery mode it lasts 3 days tops... unless this watch came with factory defects..?

Love My 745

I received my refurbished 745 on the exchange program. Could not be more pleased. Garmin is number one in my estimation. I’ll never buy anything but Garmin the rest of my days.

Awesome For Runners

I received this watch for my birthday for making it to varsity for cross country. It’s been awesome to train with. My only critique is it doesn’t track indoor biking or treadmills well/at all

Good Multi Sport Watch

I’ve been using this watch after being a Fenix user and the first thing you notice is the weight, this is a very light watch but it means this is not a robust case and you got to be careful not to hit it as you may on some occasions bu accident. The battery is what I don’t like as it only last 5-7 days if no activity is done, but if you use it more regularly, you will have to charge it very often 2-3 days, which is a pain sometimes for some of us that are super active. Overall, i like it but I will be going back to Fenix.

Excellent Features

I absolutely love my Forerunner 745, I recently upgraded and it has all the features I was needing! It’s really been a game changer to all my training needs!

Lots Of Bells And Whistles

I replaces my Forerunner Music 265 with this and so far I really like it. Lots od metrics and data that my other one didn't have!
