Gear Review: Garmin Forerunner 245 & Forerunner 245 Music

The Garmin Forerunner 235 has been one of the most popular GPS watches on the market for years. And it’s at the top for good reason: It’s packed with intuitive features, it’s comfortable to wear and easy to use. But after nearly four years of continuous production, it’s also time for an upgrade. Meet the new Garmin Forerunner 245.

The Forerunner 245 picks up where the 235 left off. It’s still an easy-to-use GPS running watch with enough features to satisfy most runners—and starting at $300, it won’t break the bank.

Garmin makes the 245 in two versions: the Forerunner 245 and the Forerunner 245 Music, which adds a Wi-Fi connection and space for up to 500 songs. Garmin sent us a pre-production model of the Forerunner 245 Music so we could put it through real-world testing to see how it works, check out what’s new and get a feel for how it compares to other Garmin watches.
