Garmin 245 music

[gbaldy]

Hi, i have just purchased a garmin 245 music and i must say it seems quite a step up from my previous watch which was a polar vantage M the screen is so clear in comparison and the watch is quite simple to use , i like the polar flow app on pc the garmin app on pc is more confusing but i will get to grips with it no doubt. the 245 has a lovely feature called pace pro which you can set up before a run and guide you through your speed along the way so that you can work hard on the flat parts and take it easier on the hills and still achieve your set finishing time . thanks just a little insight to my views on the watch ,ps having the music on the watch is quite enjoyable with bluetooth headphones no need to carry around a phone any more.

Great new watch motivation. My forerunner 45 turned up in the postbox yesterday. Liking the slightly slimmer look and them more general fitness orientation of the functions. A favourite is the stress indicator! Typing this I'm a chilled out 33. Enjoy that New Watch.

Had mine for a while now and love it. Having podcasts and music and not having to carry a phone is fantastic. The Garmin coach is great as well, I'm currently using it for half training just for that it's worth every penny. No so convinced by the V02 Max figures though.
