Garmin Forerunner 245 Music+GPS Running Watch - Aqua

Music For The Extra Mile

You do the running. This GPS running smartwatch does the thinking. It even gets to know you, mile after mile and song after song.

A Design That Cuts Back On Bulk

It's sleek and lightweight - perfect for running and everyday wear.

Garmin Coach

These adaptive training plans feature guidance from expert coaches and free training plans that adapt to you and your goals. Workouts sync right to your watch.

Built-In Sport Apps

Switch up your workout routine with activity profiles for cycling, pool swimming, indoor rowing, elliptical, stair-stepper and more.

Wrist-Based Heart Rate

The watch constantly samples your heart rate and will alert you if it stays too high or too low while you're at rest. It also helps gauge how hard you work during activities. Even underwater.

Built-In GPS

Track where you run, and get accurate stats, including distance, pace and intervals.

Running Dynamics

When used with a compatible accessory, Forerunner 245 measures crucial running metrics such as cadence, stride length, ground contact time and balance and more.

VO2 Max

Train smarter with VO2 max, an indicator of how you can expect to perform. This metric even accounts for changes in performance that could be caused by heat or altitude.

Pulse OX Sensor

This wrist-based sensor estimates your body's blood oxygen saturation, which can help gauge how your body is absorbing oxygen - especially while you sleep.

Training Status

This metric evaluates your recent exercise history and performance indicators to let you know if you're training productively, peaking or overreaching.

Training Effect

See how your workouts influence the development of endurance, speed and power with aerobic and anaerobic training effect feedback.

Training Load

This stat measures your exercise volume from the last 7 days and compares it to the optimal range for your fitness and recent training history.

Menstrual Tracking

Track period cycle details, log physical and emotional symptoms, and note regular, irregular or menopause transition cycles to better understand your body.

Music On Your Wrist

Sync your playlists from select music streaming services right to your watch. Forerunner 245 Music can store up to 500 songs.

Smart Notifications

Receive emails, texts and alerts right on your watch when paired with a compatible smartphone.

Safety And Tracking Features

If you feel unsafe or if your watch senses that an incident occurred, assistance and incident detection features send your location to emergency contacts.
