Great tracker

I had a Forerunner 645 which was a good watch. The 745 has many more features, and I highly recommend it!

Great guide for life

This watch is AWESOME. Its comfortable, seems pretty accurate with most measures. Really enjoying sleep score feature as well as being able to track runs at certain paces or heart rate zones. Pairing it with the garmin connect app gives you a dashboard of how your body is responding to your daily activities. Love it!

Best watch for my lifestyle

Previously had an apple watch and wish I went with Garmin right away. Love all the health tracking features like v02, sleep, and, race predictor. Now I can go on runs without carrying my phone while still listening to music. Plus, the battery life is amazing.

It’s ok

I thought I would really like this watch because my boss recommended it. I don’t like how it’s easy it will turn on for a run. Plus for how much I paid for it should have Spinning as a mode. Not just indoor bike which doesn’t work for spinning.. I actually prefer my Fitbit than this watch

Smart watch for training
on October 10, 2023
Posted by: CES33
I bought the Garmin 745 a month ago and it’s excellent at recommending training and tracking but the battery life compared to my old Fenix 5 is terrible. It seems every 2-3 runs it’s dying. On my Fenix 5 it seemed like 1 to 1.5 months of battery life. I’ll still train with it and do like some of the features but the battery life really let me down.

Seems to be very accurate in all parameters

I bought the 745 to record my swimming, cycling and general fitness. It does a great job. It’s taking sometime to get used to wearing it when I sleep but I like seeing my sleep score, which seems to spot on

Awesome watch!!
on October 10, 2023
Posted by: kgjm0614
I have no complaints! I went to Garmin after having an Apple Watch for years and I love the accuracy and data tracking on this watch. I do CrossFit and have just started to pick up on running. I need to keep figuring out the best way to track my CrossFit workouts, but overall the watch is great. The sleep score and body battery is really interesting to me. I’m also an nurse, so the fact that it’s waterproof helps a lot sometimes when things get a little messy (lol)

Runners best friend.

Having this watch for about a month now I've had a blast using it for running on the treadmill. And I know it would love for me to run outside, and to be fair when I have, the data it puts together for outside running is incredible aswell. I love all the stats, as someone who grew up playing runescape, watching the numbers increase every day is an amazing feeling. I think this watch is amazing if your primary sort of focus is running.
