Garmin Forerunner 245[0]

Got it as a birthday gift about a year ago and I have since finally moved on from struggling to get past 5Ks to running multiple 10Ks and now training for a half marathon. It has also helped me be more health conscious generally and I've lost 25lbs to get from high overweight to the top of end of normal (BMI-wise).

The Garmin ecosystem for workout planning/recording/stats/etc. is surprisingly nice and even though this watch is marketed to runners the weight training features are solid and useful as well.

Same here, it really put a spotlight on my mediocre endurance/general fitness level despite my best efforts to get out everyday for a bike ride.


Just wanted to say well done on losing all that weight!


I bought the 235 a few years ago. Also an avid runner and great for hiking. Also used for cycling and swimming too!
