Thanks for putting these in-depth reviews together. After trying the Fenix 6 pro and Apex Pro, I ended up with the 745. It seemed to hit the sweet spot regarding size and functions, and I really don't think I need the maps (at this point, anyway). All the reviews I read seemed to say that the 745 was really accurate regarding tracking, with one mentioning a slightly newer GPS chip. It certainly seems more accurate than the Fenix and has been picking up the GPS signal before I am out the door. Running pacing is pretty stable, while the Fenix was all over the place sometimes. One note is that's a little bit of a bummer is that the backlight isn't as nice as the Fenix and possibly the 945. It has a bit of a blue backlight, just slightly washed out, though really doesn't effect readability in practice (Fenix had a nice black background when illuminated). Black on white is fine, but white text on black isn't as crisp. The Apex Pro was much worse and my aging eyes really struggled to read the screen sometimes. Appreciate your efforts to inform, great work. Cheers.

You’re exactly right. The 745’s GPS is the best I’ve tested so far. It’s now my gold standard. The 945 actually has the brightest backlight and it’s about twice as bright as the other two. There are some OLED watches on the market but the battery life tends to be pretty dreadful. I think you’ll really enjoy the 745 but keep me posted on what you think.

I’ve been trying to talk them into sending me something to test. The Pace 2 looks like a good option for a budget triathlon watch. I’m not sure their battery life is any better than the competition. 40 hours is pretty standard right now on the Polar watches. And you can make adjustments to these watches to push that out to 100 hours. So maybe they’re defaults are less frequent GPS updates 🤷🏻♂️ but I bet the Apex Pro is using that same standard 346 mAh lithium ion battery. But I’d love to test something from Coros. Hopefully they’ll send me that Pace 2.

Great video Matt, however if only one thing, suggested workouts came out to the Forerunner 945 too with the latest 5.20 update (it was expected and announced to come). Ah, and track running is also available on the FR945, too. So to me the FR945 is 95% identical to a Fenix 6 and to the FR745. Since maps, battery life and the size are more important for me I went ahead and bought a FR945 (bundle in fact) recently especially as the price wasn't too much higher. The FR745 was not that cheap, I'd say.

Zotmund, I agree 100% with your assessment. The video that I have coming out in about an hour goes over 5 reasons why people should consider the 945 over the 745.

I really think Garmin needs to make some sort of affordable triathlon watch for under 300ish. 🤷♂️ Thank so much for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it.

@@hakonfrahmstokka1893 - Yeah, I think the 255 would be my pick. Battery life seems similar to me. HR tracking tests very similar and even GPS is similar (although the 255 has multi-band GPS). I really like the HRV and morning report that the 255 provides. So it's seems a bit better at recovery tracking. For me personally, I'd skip the music on the 255 to save money but I have a lot of watches with music capabilities and never use that feature. So that's just me. Let me know what you think and why you're leaning toward the 745. Either way, I think you'll enjoy your new device. If I could, I'd let you borrow both of these for a few days to help you pick but I'm on the west coast of the US. 🤷♂.

I would love to be able to leave my phone at home, but still be able to listen to those hard beats when shit gets tough. At the moment I'm running with a Suunto 9 Baro, it is a great watch, and the battery life is out of this world. But on the down side it is just WAY to big, even sleeping with it is a "no-go". I normally do ultras, but i can't use it when running more that 50km, then it actually starts to really hurt my wrist. Some of the reason is the size and some is the weight of the watch itself.

According to the advice of my cardiologist, I practice running regularly, it helped me a lot and I was able to reduce my medication always according to my doctor's advice. For a complete follow-up of the shape and the heart, you recommend which watch? A Vantage V2 or a 745 for example? Hello from Germany ^^

Micaele, great news that you’re doing so well with your running! I would say both of those watches would have very similar heart rate monitors. They both use optical heart rate monitors. I would probably recommend the 745 but might also recommend picking up a chest strap which will give you more accurate heart rate readings.

Do you know if such metrics will be included somehow also in the forerunner 245 by any chance? Thanks in advance!

Enrico, thanks so much for watching and commenting! Yes, some of these features are coming to the 245 and that release is slowly rolling out now. The rumors are that they had some bugs with the sleep metrics and it'll be a few more updates before they make it on to these watches.

That sony chipset issue is interesting... I wonder if it will be possible to be fixed in the future via a software update or if it is a hardware issue. It's kinda strange, the the older fr935 has a higher gps accuracy than the fr945. And people should not be bothered about battery life too much. Every garmin can track a marathon. Everything above can be solved by charging the watch on the run, because you can charge all garmin watches while you record your run. I think I have even seen an external battery, which you can put on your arm and connect to the watch while running somewhere...

It’s actually completely useless since it doesn’t track distance right, so shown tempo is way too slow. For me it’s a reason to replace this one, but I’m a bit hesitant referring to my bad experience with the quite expensive 935. Thanks!

Open water accuracy is so tricky for me to figure out. I'm trying to set one watch above water and just have it do normal GPS tracking, (like walk mode or something) and then have other watches on the wrist. I've swam with the 945 a lot and I've had decent results. If anything it seems to measure a bit on the long side. 🤷♂️ I am hoping to do a full open water swim accuracy video this summer.

Hi Matt, as you might remember, I purchased the 745 after one of your review videos and used your discount code. They are legit company to buy from 👍 I’ve had it for a week today and since I’ve received it I’ve been getting used to it and Garmin connect. The GPS has been extremely accurate in my use. I have notifications on in a very limited setting. Detecting my workout barbell lifts and reps are hit and miss. I’ve charged it twice and it’s at 50% right now. I would’ve bought the 945 from the amazon ad you reference if I wasn’t thrown off by the reviews stating it’s a Pacific region watch. Honestly though, I’m very happy with the 745, I will say though anyone looking for a smart watch might want to look elsewhere. This is a fitness watch and everything is geared to that end. This doesn’t have a beautiful screen, doesn’t have full smart watch features and doesn’t have true navigation. This is an athlete’s watch and I’m glad I have it! The night time pulse O2 does drain the battery a bit but it’s worth it to me. I have small wrists and it fits well, no issues when sleeping, no regrets!

Awesome! So glad you like it. Keep me posted long term how it’s going and I’ll do the same. Maybe I can make a 745 after 100 days video or something.

I guess we should all be careful of deals that are too good to be true.

Not a bad idea. I think Garmin’s watch release cycle is going to speed up with pressure from Apple. 🤔

Can I listen to Spotify without bringing my phone?
@mlegrand 3 жыл бұрын
Yes, you can download music from Spotify and take it for a run without your phone and with your watch connected to bluetooth headphones. I don't use it that often because it does take time to sync music over to the watch. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👌

I do like this feature (music on watch). The download does take some time, it's mostly a one time download and it does this when the watch is being charged anyway. I do like music on the wrist, but it does drain the battery fast also.

I just got the Coros Pace 2, but personally I think if I hadn‘t gotten that one I‘d have bought the 745

I agree but I’ve been impressed with the 745. I can’t figure out why the GPS tends to be the most accurate of all of my watches. I have some weird theories but truest have no idea. Thank you for watching and taking the extra time to comment. I really appreciate it. 👍

@Arling Hardinger - 😬 - Do I need to pick up the pace on these reviews a little? Always good to have feedback on how to make these better. 👌
