I had been considering a Garmin Smartwatch for some time before finding one on sale at BestBuy. Very pleased at the price and that they had stock in the store where I was vacationing at the time. The watch works great, and sync's with my iPhone easily. Long battery life and quick charge times are a big plus. I have been so pleased in the weeks since I purchased one for myself, that I just bought this latest one to gift for Christmas. Would definitely purchase again!

If you’re looking for a new running watch then this is the one to pick. The Garmin 245 has been amazing ever since I’ve bought it and it tracks my mileage very good :)

Great watch and it has a lot of features that anybody will love. One thing is that the band was small so I'm giving it 4 starts because of this but overall the design and UI are easy to use and it's a good looking watch

Great features. I previously had the 230 and upgraded to this when it finally died. This is a huge improvement. I would highly recommend.

I had the Vivoactive line of watches and loved them, but couldn't get the 4 because of my work and the including of Spotify, etc. So, I went for this model and have to say that I really enjoy it! At first I thought it was touch operated like the Vivoactive, but that was my fault for not realizing. However, I enjoy the button operation better as the touch operation can be pretty finicky. My only complaint is that the battery, if you use the GPS tracking on it, does not last but more than maybe 3 days. So, I've gotten used to charging it more regularly. Overall, I'd recommend this watch.
