Forerunner 245 Music

Seconded. I have the music version so I don't have to carry my phone on short runs.

I wear my Garmin 245 Music for working out and running, otherwise it’s my Explorer for everything else life has for me.

Garmin Forerunner 245M. Then I wear my Explorer for any other occasion. I used to use an Apple Watch to workout but I prefer having physical buttons for when I’m sweating and/or it’s raining out or something. Before I became interested in mechanical watches, I wore an Apple Watch exclusively, but I wanted to disconnect from constant notifications and such. We get enough of that on our phones as it is.

I have a Forerunner 245 with Music. It does the job. I have it in aqua blue. It also doesn't cost a gazillion pounds to buy.

I use a Forerunner 245 Music. Relatively cheap, does the job along with a chest strap HRM.

I have a FR 245 with Music. It does what I need it to do. It can be a bit judgemental if I have a rest day and/or go for a walk (I have been knocked down from Productive to Recovery - so audacious). I like not having to take my phone with me, especially if it's raining.

I use a 245 music for biking, running, weights and swimming. It's great. Has more than enough features, and only needs to be charged every week or two. GPs is fine. HR is fine, though I use a hr chest strap, as they are more accurate. Even without the strap, though, the watch did a good job.

I have a venu 3 and love it! Had the forerunner 245 music for several years prior to making the switch to my venu 3 this year. I workout everyday and it has tons of tracking options as well as being touch screen and having all the smart watch capabilities.

I also have the 245 Music, but the battery life is decreasing and am looking to upgrade. Not sure what I should go for. I love the Fenix design and functionality, but it’s a bit pricey. I mainly run, bike and walk/hike. Any feedback is welcome :)

This is where I'm at. Was planning to upgrade but not at these prices... I feel like all my 245 Music is missing is an onboard altimeter and Garmin Pay, which aren't worth $550.
