The Garmin Forerunner 245 smartwatch is a robust digital timepiece that aims to keep athletes connected at all times during activity, while also allowing them to leave their smartphone at home. Featuring GPS connectivity, the smartwatch will track the runner as they go about their routine to let them see just how far they travel, at what pace and for how long. The built-in storage enables the smartwatch to keep up to 500 songs stored locally to eliminate the need for a connection to a smartphone or streaming service for added convenience.
The Garmin Forerunner 245 smartwatch also takes weather conditions and altitude into account when runners head out to let them get a more accurate projection of how hard they're working.
