About the Forerunner 245 range
The Garmin Forerunner 245 range is built for runners who want more than basic distance and pace tracking. Both the Forerunner 245 and Forerunner 245 Music offer lightweight comfort, strong GPS performance, recovery and training insights, and everyday smartwatch features in a design that works well for regular training and daily wear.
The key difference is simple: the 245 Music adds on-watch music storage and Bluetooth headphone playback, while the standard 245 keeps things more focused on core running features.
