Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this watch after using a Forerunner 235 for years (battery wouldn't keep charge anymore unfortunately). While this doesn't give me the 9 days of battery life that the 235 did, the enhancements and extra features I get with this model is fantastic for the price you are paying. The Garmin Ecosystem is so easy to navigate once you've done your homework and dabbled around with it. Highly recomend the Forerunner 245 to anyone looking for a solid running watch that has great extra features.

great watch for running! i switched from fitbit because my old watch would constantly lose GPS. this Garmin has so many cool features- very happy with my purchase! (-:

I did a lot of researching and reading before I bought this. I was basically "tied" between this and the current Samsung smart watch, but ultimately went with this for multiple reasons, including (but not limited to) very readable in sunshine, "fall" notification to selected recipient, full-time GPA, good battery life, solid features, good support from Garmin, and more!

Love this watch. Wear it all day. Feels like i am not wearing anything, so light and comfortable. Features are amazing for the price. Good for runners! Definitely recommend. 3 garmin product, all good!

I got this as an upgrade to the Garmin 220 and it's a huge difference. It has so many great features that I actually use. I love that I can go for a run and get notifications on my watch so I don't have to get my phone out. The app shows a lot of useful information to track my training, including new items of sleep, Vox, respiration load of training, etc. It also charges quickly and stays charged for days. I would highly recommend for runners wanting to go to the next level of training.

Love my Garmin watches. They are the best for keeping track of my runs. I like the features on the updated models. I can use it for my biking and swimming also.

Son seems to be very pleased with how long the watch stays charged and all the features!

Easy to understand and use. Has so many cool features. Also love the band. I wear this 24/7

Great gift for the athlete in your family. Design and features are amazing!

Great device at a great price. Has all the features I need without a huge price tag

Super impressive smartwatch from Garmin. Tons of features! I really enjoy using this for running and counting steps. This is my first Garmin product. Big fan of their devices now!

Great product would give five stars but the battery life requires a little more charging. More Bells and whistles with up grade but this watch does what a long distance runner needs.

Watch is nice. Trying to learn all the features. Personnel at Best Buy were useless as far as helping me with the watch. All they said was I have no idea how this works.

Great upgrade from the 235 I had. I really enjoy all the features on this version

Was bought as a gift and the receiver loved it. Exactly what he needed for running. Lots of features

Perfect for the person who wants a lot of the high end features, but without the high cost. Very nice watch.

excellent watch....does everything that I needed for running to replace my old Garmin

Great interface with the app. Many features available. I like the coached work outs.

Had the Garmin 235, this is a big improvement with a lot of awesome features.

I like how it works and the features and the looks.
