Can you comment on its Bluetooth range? – Changed recovery time advisor to account for Stress/Sleep/Daily Activity. I like being able to scroll down and see my altitude depending on where I am. It’s basically using the known lane to be able to figure out other lanes. }, If you don’t care that the first two laps or so might not be perfect, then no worries, continue on with your track workout and next time it’ll be nailed. I really, really want LTE just for the ability to live track without dragging a phone along, and to send the emergency call/text. How does this integrate with Zwift? That's everything you need if you're a recreational runner who just wants to keep tabs on how far and fast you've gone. Wareable is reader-powered. The breadth of Garmin's range means there's something for everyone, regardless of your budget. I presume for calibration you just need to run the last rather than actually press lap at any point? I have read another article / review where is mentioned 26 hours in GPS. In my neighborhood there only tracks with 250m long lanes, will this “track mode” work there? (Try buying a Hammerhead right now). Holiday discounts aren’t far off either. in the garmin site is stated “RESPIRATION RATE (DURING EXERCISE) yes (with compatible accessory)” maybe a typo from them? And when you think that the Apple Watch Series 5 will only last a single day and won't get you through a marathon unless you turn off the heart rate monitor, the fact that this will give you a week in smartwatch mode with 13 hours of GPS is pretty excellent. I wear my 735 on my right wrist for workout tracking and VA3LTE for music/LTE. There is only 2 grams difference…. Hi Ray, Question: I’ve been using a 935 for multi-sporting for a while. 本社 〒024-0061 岩手県北上市大通り四丁目4-22 mjビル tel:0197-63-7878 fax:0197-65-1673 青森営業所 〒030-0846 I want to know if I can put a battery pack in my jersey pocket/backpack/hydration pack and continue to record when it is charging. Correct, pressing the lap button has no impact on the track detection algorithm. You still can’t create/customize data pages on your phone, instead, it’s all on the watch (which, I prefer). Oh, and you can sign-up for the newsletter here! I’ve seen brief CloudFlare outages before, but I’ve never been subject to an ongoing block by it, but Garmin has no clue how to whitelist an IP. As you have aptly mentioned, really the closest to accuracy is with a Garmin HRM-swim since it is designed to stay put. I also just put together my complete ‘Gear I Use’ equipment list, from swim to bike to run and everything in between (plus a few extra things). Of course, as I’ve learned over the years – people will buy it. That’s disheartening. I swim, bike and run. But it hasn’t been something thoroughly tested by Garmin. So here is the most up to date list of products I like and fit the bill for me and my training needs best! Track mode seems really cool and it is something I would definitely want–in fact I’m thinking of replacing my 645 with a 245 just to get it (I don’t know if I can justify spending $500 for what the 745 does since I’m not a competitive cyclist/triathlete). I presume if someone added the file from my watch in the track folder they’d be pre-calibrated for the track I was on? The variances become more and more rare, and the accuracy gets better and better. It won’t auto display any climbs as you begin ascending (even when navigating a route). Then, you can pair some Bluetooth headphones and leave that phone behind. Over the years, I’ve continued to tweak my GPS testing methodology. I’m not in the market for a new watch (currently using the 945) but the new COROS is a very attractive option. This one I don’t remember.

I would love to switch to a more “office compatible” watch with all those new features like training load, etc. But the Forerunner 245 adds some serious new features – and is firmly a mid-range running device for those who have progressed in their training and are now starting to obsess over their PBs. You’ll see below that my readings are a bit all over the place. Ideal for beginners, couch to 5k-ers and those who want a little more info on their regular runs without being overwhelmed by data, it also has activity tracking, bridging the divide between an inexpensive tracker and a serious sports watch. I managed to get the FR 945 for £345 so the discounting has definitely started and puts this watch in a much better place. As this is a watch aimed at triathletes, you do have open water and pool swim tracking support covered. On the other hand, for more than two years it’s proved to be an excellent watch (with an excellent OHR sensor), so I’m not unhappy. } Check out
We’re on a journey to solve and democratize artificial intelligence through natural language. I agree. And it’s been solid. Check out our Forerunner 745 in-depth review. My guess in the watch has a map of GPS points for each lane. “And is there a fundamental difference between the world of watches and bike computers?”. It just didn’t quite nail the track recognition in terms of specs. I actually really like it. We are the best. – Added music storage/playback via Bluetooth headphones, including Spotify What's hard to ignore are the price and gripes with battery life. There was some rumours that FR745 used a new Sony GPS-chip. Practically speaking for those of us at sea level, it’s mostly a useless stat. Hello Ray. Or by redoing an exercise with the watches swapped? This is in essence what I would like to see, a way to pick what apps (=services) can notify me on my watch (and all Garmin products, like my Edge 530). (now they are almost the same price). A no brainer. While the maps would have been helpful occasionally last week in the Alps, I was able to make do with the breadcrumb trail in the vast majority of the case – only a few times either double-checking my phone purely for sanity reasons. – Added support for Garmin Running Power (with accessory sensor) Yup, works just fine on a FR745 with a USB battery pack. However, while it carries the Forerunner branding, it's an incredibly effective multisport watch designed for triathletes – and serious ones at that – aimed at those who run long, fast and need to pay particular attention to load and recovery. I know a lot of people keep talking about those sorts of rumors, but I just really don’t see that likely for all the same reason the Vivoactive 3 LTE failed. What about the accuracy of the 935; both GPS and optical HR? Is the Native Garmin Altimeter widget pre-installed on the watch like the 945? Forgot to copy the “T” for the beginning of GPS accuracy ;-P, Great review. This sensor measures SPo2 using a red light that you’ll see occasionally turn on. 2) create multisport activity (as Peter suggests) with 3 items (again: WU as Run, Track WOD as Track Run, CD as Run). If you tell it you’re in lane 1 and it picks up a lane 2 GPS point, it maps that to a lane 1 GPS point rather than taking the actual GPS pint it picks up. My other presumption is that changing the lane number is only for track detection, not every time you go on the track? Click to get the latest Buzzing content. I’m not in love with the $499 price tag. Is there an option to completely turn off the bluetooth function? This is a use case for long activities that I would be interested in knowing for the various multi-sport watches. “memoryLimit”: 98304, I was already pissed when they increased the 9xx line to $599 from $499 last year. Still, I find the smartphone notifications useful for a quick glance. And if you're looking for the best Garmin smartwatch, we'd plump for the brilliant Garmin Vivoactive 4. Excepting how often ConnectIQ and Connect are down. The only reason someone would consider getting the 745 over the 945 as things stand now is size and/or style really. And one more question: currently on track I created laps manually (for example: if I run 200 m I click LAP on start and when I reach the proper mark on the track I click LAP again to accurately catch the time of the interval (I never worried about the interval distance indicated by the watch because I had the right distance marked on track – for me the most important part is catch the most accurate time of interval) – will this way of use not cause any problems in track mode? So my body was warmed up, thus in theory the COROS should have more easily been able to lock HR on this new main section. I have tried many different chest belts to no avail.Consequently, the optical monitors are my best option. You can then load that up on the watch as well. I’m really interested in this too. – Added stress tracking And of course – you can always sign-up to be a DCR Supporter! but all makes sense with your comment here. RUNNING Best running watches with music. Poor battery life, no killer app for this “mid range” 745 and basically the same price as the next step up, 945. Garmin just thinks that we will pay ni matter what. If that’s the case (but certainly not saying my choices aren’t good for women), and you just want to see a different gear junkies “picks”, check out The Girl’s 2018 Gear Guide too. I have the same question. Maybe focus on going phone-less but still having safety features to live track and send location. At $399, this watch would’ve been great. so i dont see 745 being a bigger seller. Although it will likely change the 735XT is more expensive than the 945 in Sweden right now. Thanks. Does the 745 have the altitude widget pre-installed like the 945? Or, my FR745: Yes, I know, that’s a non-normal and less than ideal night. It’s just a breadcrumb trail course, but it’s a course nonetheless. FR945 dosesn’t have on-wrist sleep widget yet. Looks like the FR745 doesn’t have explorer support Note: I have look at all the answers in this post and did not found details on those. Yes, it follows the general trend of things (this isn’t smoothed at all), but is often a bit laggy after hard intervals, or during the ramp back up again. GPS mode with music: Up to 10 hours If you found this review useful, using the links at the end of the post help support the site. However, the purple is a bit more variable. Is the bezel higher compared to 935/945? We see the lag from the FR745 optical sensor, whereas the other units are all pretty much in agreement, with the HRM-PRO being slightly faster than the TICKR X by a second or two. And 945 got 5.0 but apparently no sleep widget?! What would I be missing with the Apple Watch when my goal is to improve time on half-marathons and overall fitness? Thanks. The challenge is that this is taking readings all day long (not by default, but because I enabled it that way), and some of those are inaccurate. But even that’s I think less stable than it was a year ago. Thank to Amazon sell I just bought 735 for 159 – it shall be enough. All the new Fenix 6 models take tracked metrics to the extreme, offering full insights for VO2 Max, race prediction, stress scores, Training Effect and Training Status: they're all found here and they're seriously meaningful. The Daily Suggested Workouts feature will come to all those as well, except the FR245. Hang tight! And people seem pretty darn happy in general with the FR945. I REALLY dont want to pollute my strava/spam my strava buddies with 3 activities (warmup, track and cooldown) rather than 1. But it’s really going to take them hiring a bunch more developers with their recent investment round to just be firing out new features at a rate that makes heads turn. During those first two laps the accuracy may not be as spot-on perfect as once it finishes indexing the track. { Garmin does offer Connect IQ which adds some great functionality vs Coros’ locked eco system. Using a single route over and over again isn’t really indicative of real-world conditions, it’s just indicative of one trail. I never found a screen showing how it is! Actually, you don’t need to involve apps from the store to do duathlon. 945 was known for button gate so wondering if they used the same hardware is in 945 or they adopted the better hardware buttons from Fenix6 series? Ok, the Forerunner 745 doesn’t have the new Sony High-Precision dual frequency gnss chip CXD5610GF with a Power Consumption of 9 mW, it was to early, probably the next Forerunner 9XX. Good to go. And it even does smartwatch notifications and better-than-basic fitness tracking, including tracking resting heart rate. Head-to-head: Garmin Forerunner 745 v Garmin Vivoactive 4. A lot. Can change over to the QuickFit style bands as well. Second session today and I got the distance dropout in the middle of the session this time. They confirmed they do still plan to bring it to the FR745, but, like other devices (including the FR945), they’re still working through the details on it. I also wonder whether they plan to update recovery time to include sleep, stress score in Fenix6 and 945 lineup. Basically, everything got paused while they sorted out some issues they saw. As Ray said, Garmin is likely using the same chipset (like most 2019/2020 watches) but now running a much improved algorithm/firmware. Dissatisfaction among FR645 users & enthusiasts had been building up the reader comments for a while. Ray what is the average battery usage? But it did improve drastically. While I often toggle between the Fenix 6 Pro and FR945 as my daily watch, I’d have no problems wearing the FR745 as my daily watch. However, we update it frequently to reflect the newest Garmin devices, making sure that we've tested the latest and greatest devices available to buy. One from Strava computes Strava Relative Effort (pretty inaccurately) in real time, the one that does vehicle count from my Varia radar and writes other data into the FIT file that shows up later on Garmin Connect, and a new one that shows (more or less) real time weather data with a wind vector relative to me, using the cosine of the angle between wind direction and my velocity vector properly, so that a cross wind is given as near zero head/tail wind (it’s called “Rain & Wind”, I think), and head winds are negative and tail winds are positive. It’s super rare for GPS units to screw-up on road cycling routes. Regarding my set up, I can already see some issues with both devices. It works well. Most of the time. No problem, the product comparison data is constantly updated with new products and new features added to old products! Albeit, despite that the distance was still exactly the same as the reference track. Though it’s often used in hospitals on most patients as well. The only real downside is battery life. Garmin has us constantly paying a premium. While I’m still waiting for Garmin to do a proper wearable lap summary data field like their own Edge devices – or like Suunto’s watches (which has a grid listing of all your recent laps, so it’s easy to compare), everything else here is pretty darn customizable. There’s some testing going on to get to the state that you and I normally do, which is run from home/office to track as warm-up, then do track workout, etc…. “appTypes”: [ Once you’ve wrapped up your workout you’ll get stats about it. The altitude data is multiplied and climb pro and pace pro become The best thing you can do is: answer with your wallet and just don’t buy it. As for cycling, the only one that I know of that could rival Garmin is Hammerhead. Perhaps I’m missing some nuance but I can’t see why currently in Europe one would buy this device over a 945? Same in the US. If you’re new around these parts, here’s the long version of my story. Well I’m impressed it got the distance pretty bang on (rounding would fix as you said in your review). For example, I try not to place two units next to each other on my wrists, as that can impact signal. The Garmin Swim 2 is in no uncertain terms a massive upgrade on the first Swim as far as what it’s capable of when you’re in the water. This first rolled out to the Edge 1030 Plus this past June, and now we see it on Garmin’s first wearable. “type”: “datafield” I jave a 935 with small craks on ohrm. { However, it flips when we look at the map. – Added contactless/NFC payments Is this the most negative batch of comments for a Garmin (watch or anything for that matter) review or is it just me? “type”: “watchApp” “memoryLimit”: 1310720, You can either choose a different one already on the watch, or download other custom/3rd party ones from the Connect IQ App Store. I mostly design my own on TrainingPeaks (I’m an Exercise Physiologist) so I’m really interested in seeing what the software has to say. I think maybe not. We help you pick the perfect GPS partner. I say boring, cause these are almost always flawless. }, You can transfer over your own music or playlists from streaming services like Spotify and Deezer to the watch. Like its main rivals, the Apple Watch Series 5 and Fitbit Ionic, this is a watch that's aiming to bring more than just fitness smarts to your wrist. First up, go to your sports menu and choose ‘Track Run’: Now, go find your track. $9 for a two-pack of these puck Garmin chargers that stay put and stay connected. I haven’t found it in description.

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Comparing to the 645, is this closer than the 245? Next, as noted, I use just my daily training routes. D too. Thanks for your review. If you're looking for a true outdoors watch then you have two main options in the Garmin range. Does it have bouldering app available? I went over most of the article but I’m confused. By default it assumes you’re in ‘Lane 1’, but you can change that if you’re one of those folks that runs in other lanes. In any case, looking at the 800’s, these are all spot-on identical between the FR745 and Garmin HRM-DUAL: As if often the case with intervals and optical HR sensors, you see a very tiny bit of lag on recovery (but virtually no lag on the initial interval pick-up). You also have profiles for other outdoor pursuits like skiing, hiking, rowing and kayaking. Smartwatch features include notification support, while Connect IQ compatibility only extends to bringing watch faces to the entry level watch. Whereas when I tested the cycling side of this back in June on the Edge series it got surprisingly good at figuring me out. Thx. The FR745 captures all the normal daily activity tracking stuffs you’d expect. { SPR – so in the “RunningTrack” folder on the watch, there appears to be a FIT file for each track you have used the app with. Lack of maps is the killer for me. The real question is what features do you think you’re missing? I typically don’t wear two watches on the same wrist, since that impacts accuracy. “memoryLimit”: 524288, I don’t think it is unless you need PulseOX. Why would anyone even consider the 745 over that? I’d be very interested in a 745 / 945 comparison with the newest firmware 5.09 Beta.. Do you know when the fenix 6 beta firmware might be released? 02.17 [음악] GACKT [2010 Stay the Ride Alive (Single)] 02.17 [음악] 이무진 42MB 5 앨범 (320k) 02.17 [음악] 정홍일 369 MB 12 앨범 (192k,320k) 02.17 [음악] Ciara - Thinkin Bout You mp3 02.17 [음악] 2.17 song차트(newsong) lo4 02.17 [음악] Justin Bieber - Anyone mp3 02.17 [음악] Imagine Dragons - Warriors mp3 The 745 default face looks great. – Added training load focus stats At this point I’ll probably wait another year or whatever for the successor to the 945, and hope the 945 itself drops in price enough to be worth it. But Ray made good comments regarding that. It’s a 22mm strap. There's a barometric altimeter to measure elevation when you're climbing up mountains, a heart rate monitor and the Instinct Solar adds a pulse oximeter, which it uses to check elevation against blood oxygen on its new Acclimatisation Widget. Sure, the benefits here are that everything (map and splits) look pretty to our eye, but the secondary benefit is data accuracy. Simply, this is the best fitness watch in the world – which you'd expect from a device with a $600/£600 price tag. Do you have an opinion or some information about the future of daily suggested workouts? I think optical HR has improved from the FR935 over time for sure (different generation sensors). The Forerunner 745 promises up to seven days in smartwatch mode, up to six hours with GPS and music in use, 16 hours in GPS mode and there's an UltraTrac mode giving you up to 21 hours. It doesn’t need to leave marks, but you shouldn’t be able to slide a finger under the band (at least during workouts). Correct. Can I conclude that 400 track Function will not come to 645? Ideally this technology would be leveraged on the side of a mountain and manually triggered to determine your current state. The Vivomove 3 is undoubtedly one of the best looking smartwatches you can get your hands on, and, in a slightly weak field, is probably the best hybrid on the market, too. So while it’s easy to develop common firmware updates for the 245/745/945, they would have to start from scratch to build something new into the 645 firmware. But its so nice to send/rcv txts and emergency contact if necessary. “type”: “watchApp” Second, there’s a new Daily Suggested Workouts for running and cycling, which gives you specific daily workouts to do that keep you within the bounds of ideal training load and recovery. There's also a new Garmin Fenix 6 Solar (and 6S Solar) which adds 4 hours of standard GPS tracking, upping tracking to 40 hours (from 36), with Max Battery mode at 93 hours (up from 72 hours) and Expedition Mode at 36 days (up from 28 days). Even on my bike I prefer using maps on my iPhone to a Garmin Edge. The smaller case means a smaller battery, so you won't get the same insane longevity as a full-sized Fenix. I know that I’m not the first person to say this, but I’m getting more and more disappointed to see “advanced” running features included on every watch except the “advanced” running watch. Biggest lte use case is the tracking and emergency stuff. The track feature is extremely cool. 945 (47x47x13,70mm = 23769) 36h In this case – I don’t think that’s a bad thing. But often I’ll simply carry other units by the straps, or attach them to the shoulder straps of my hydration backpack.
