I run about 30 miles/week along with hiking & various other activities. I had a dying Garmin Forerunner 235 that was about 5 years old that I replaced with this 245. It's definitely a step up. Price was comparable to other watches with the same features. It gives me more fitness stats than I know what to do with. Picks up satellites quickly and I haven't seen any indication of signal drop during any activities. Tracking seems to be accurate when I compare routes to my previous runs and the stats from other runners in my group. Syncs well with my iPhone via the Garmin Connect app & works good as a smart watch to give me notifications. Battery life seems to be good so far. Only negative I can say is that I found the band to be uncomfortable, which is really personal preference. I found a softer silicone band that I like better for a low price on eBay and had it changed out in under a minute. Read full review

Excellent watch. The performance predictors are more accurate than on older Garmins. Certainly no substitute for an informed athlete's or coach's opinion, but not the ludicrous statements of previous models that suggested I should pack in my job and go for that sub 2 hour marathon within the next six months at age forty-five. The wrist based HRM is also more reliable and consistent than other models I've used.

The only reason that I gave it 4 stars is because it would benefit from being able to display one more data item while running - only displays 3 data fields. Also, I wish it would hook up to our wifi and upload runs automatically when I return (like the Edge 1030 bike computer). I have to plug in, but I believe it will pair with a phone and maybe doing this allows automatic uploads. Again, works great and excellent value.

The product is in good condition. It is useful for my running. The watch belt is very soft. I can wear it when I'm fall in sleep.

Battery doesn’t hold a charge for more than about 24 hours. Not sure if that has anything to do with being preowned or just a feature of the product. Others than that it’s awesome!!
