When compared to its predecessor, the Forerunner 235, the Forerunner 245, also known as the Forerunner 245, has a design that is softer and more refined. Notably, the corners are rounded, which results in a design that is less boxy. In spite of the fact that its casing is just 42 millimetres, as opposed to 44 millimetres for the Forerunner 235, the Forerunner 245 has an almost identically sized screen, measuring 30.4 millimetres.
It has a better resolution of 240 by 240 pixels, but more importantly, it does not have the flat-tire effect that the 235’s display had (the top and bottom of the display on the 235 were cut off). The display appears to have more brightness and colour than before. Even though the screens on both watches are transflective, meaning that they reflect sunlight to make them easier to see outside, the backlight on the 245 is far more powerful.

You can monitor the weather, your calendar, notifications, workout history, heart rate, steps, and other health metrics by cycling through the Forerunner 245’s many screens. Every one of these windows is known as a widget, and you are free to add, remove, and rearrange them in any way that you see fit.

Where to get Garmin Forerunner 245 Music?
The Forerunner 245 is capable of tracking a wide variety of sports, but it truly shines as a running watch thanks to the inclusion of virtually every feature imaginable. This is true regardless of whether you choose to run on a treadmill, track, trail, or road. When using the GPS, the battery may last for up to 24 hours, while listening to music can take up to slightly under six hours.
You can tell the watch to say things like your average pace every three minutes through Bluetooth headphones and make it beep and vibrate when you reach certain benchmarks, such as the number of laps you’ve completed or the distance you’ve travelled. In the event that you don’t have access to a running track, you can still run a 5K by setting a goal based on the distance, amount of time, or pace that you want to achieve.
The Forerunner 245 does an excellent job of recording most of the basic cycling numbers that are comparable to running (pace, distance, heart rate, etc.). It is also capable of being coupled with a variety of external sensors for speed and cadence, in addition to Garmin’s smart lighting. The Forerunner 245 and Forerunner 245 Music both have the ability to control music playback on a smartphone, but only the Forerunner 245 Music has the capacity to download tracks and play them without the use of a phone. It also has a storage of 3.5 gigabytes, which is equivalent to 500 tracks.
