The Garmin Forerunner 245 is a cardio junkie’s dream come true. It has built-in GPS, tracks a variety of metrics such as your VO2 Max, and gives tips on your running form. We had several people test this tracker, including an avid runner.As always, I’ll give my honest opinion and all the details with my in-depth Garmin Forerunner 245 review. When testing fitness trackers, I look for things like overall value, activity tracking options, different metrics, and the benefits of the companion app.Our testers used this tracker to run trails, do strength training, cycle, and for daily walks. Using the Forerunner 245 for a variety of activities is important for my assessment process in order to understand where this tracker shines.My Favorite Things:GPS-enabled watchGarmin Coach Training ProgramsShows your current amount of energy dubbed the “body battery”Incident detection and assistance featuresMy Callouts:Wristband might be uncomfortableHas no music storage without upgrading to the Garmin Forerunner 245 music edition1-year limited warranty for an almost $300 tracker
