Garmin Forerunner 745

A valuable ally

Designed and created in line with your needs, the Garmin Forerunner 745 watch is your number one go-to, as high-performance as it is indispensable. Totally invested in its mission as your personal assistant, it helps you achieve new records and competitiveness thresholds you’ve never dreamed of before.

It is unusually versatile in how it easily switches to and tracks your different activities. You’ll be relying on it for running, cycling or swimming as well as lots of other workouts. Note that your track achievements get special treatment thanks to the Track Run mode and your mountain adventures meanwhile have a lot of dedicated features just for them.

The Elevate Gen 3 heart rate monitor displays your heart rate, even underwater while the Pulse OX 2.0 pulse oximeter keeps an eye on your blood oxygen levels. These physiological measurements combine with the ingenious Body Battery which assesses your energy expenditure to suggest training sessions and personalised recovery times.

Equipped with GPS, your faithful training partner locates you with precision and its integrated barometric altimeter lets you know the atmospheric pressure as well as the altitude where you are. You have the option of placing markers to represent yourself while the TrackBack tells you the way back.

It’s practical as you can access the most popular routes around you in an instant via Trendline, which records the routes favoured by sports enthusiasts. For maximum confidence during your escapades, the LiveTrack and GroupTrack options are capable of detecting an incident and contacting rescue if necessary.

Enjoy your music to the full and store no less than 500 tracks on the watch or log into your favourite streaming platform such as Spotify. Your calls, texts, emails and all your notifications come straight to you when you link your smartphone via Bluetooth. You can use the Garmin Pay contactless payment system or Wi-Fi to download your applications.

Don't worry about running out of power, the battery life of your smartwatch lasts up to a week on regular use. You have 16 hours if you opt for GPS, 6 if your favourite hits are gonna be playing and 21 hours with UltraTrac.
