complicated little machine
on January 29, 2024
Posted by: paulmanfredi
Perhaps a bit overly complicated (feel like I've only scratched the surface of the many functions), and a few small frustrations, such as being prompted to set up Garmin Pay, going through the process only to find that the bank won't recognize it anyway, but still enjoying the 745 very much. Solid product.

Solid all around training watch!

I bought this watch to replace my old Forerunner 645. The watch has met my expectations and the learning curve to use it only took about 10 minutes. I use the watch daily to track my runs, bike rides, and gym workouts.

Bought this mostly with OWS tracking in mind. Amusing how it generally tells me I am doing too much. Looking forward to summer and OWS.

I absolutely love my Forerunner 745, I recently upgraded and it has all the features I was needing! It’s really been a game changer to all my training needs!

Good multi sport watch

I’ve been using this watch after being a Fenix user and the first thing you notice is the weight, this is a very light watch but it means this is not a robust case and you got to be careful not to hit it as you may on some occasions bu accident.
The battery is what I don’t like as it only last 5-7 days if no activity is done, but if you use it more regularly, you will have to charge it very often 2-3 days, which is a pain sometimes for some of us that are super active.
Overall, i like it but I will be going back to Fenix.

Awesome for runners

I received this watch for my birthday for making it to varsity for cross country. It’s been awesome to train with. My only critique is it doesn’t track indoor biking or treadmills well/at all

Love my 745

I received my refurbished 745 on the exchange program. Could not be more pleased. Garmin is number one in my estimation. I’ll never buy anything but Garmin the rest of my days.
