There isn’t a dedicated sleep tracking feature on the Forerunner 745, as there is with a lot of smartwatches, but the watch will still track your sleep. Otherwise, using the watch for several runs and tracking my data on the watch and in the Garmin app was a painless process. My biggest complaint about activity tracking with the Forerunner 745 is a minor one: Once you pass the one-hour mark of a run, the “1” is quite small. When you finish the workout, instead of a single beep the Forerunner 745 plays a song that sounds just like you beat a level in an 80s video game. Just like running, a single push of a button (accompanied by a loud beep) will stop one leg, and another button push will start the next leg. The watch also supports brick workouts, which is a key feature for triathletes. With a water resistance rating of 5 ATM, the watch is suitable for open-water swimming - though the Polar Vantage 2 is water resistant up to 100m compared to 50m for the Forerunner 745. As someone with a habit of starting my runs too fast, this is a valuable feature for keeping me at the right pace.Īlong with the typical outdoor run, the Forerunner 745 supports track workouts, treadmill runs, and indoor and outdoor bike and swim workouts. I also found that the Forerunner 745’s pace is quite accurate, updating quickly while I was speeding up (during interval training) or slowing down (while heading up a long hill). The Start/Stop button will start, pause, resume, and end a run, so you can easily interact with the watch while keeping your eyes on the road. Garmin Forerunner 745: Health and fitness featuresĪs you would expect from a Garmin device, the Forerunner 745 provides an excellent experience for tracking workouts.
Even after two weeks of wearing the watch, I hit Light when I meant to hit Up more often than not. The left side is a bit quirky: From bottom to top, the buttons are Down, Up, and Light, meaning that the Up button is in the middle. As with most Garmin devices, the Start/Stop button is on the top right, so users of older Garmin devices will find this familiar. There are five buttons around the side of the watch, three on the left and two on the right.
