Smartwatches from Garmin’s Forerunner 245 series are good, but their functionality is somewhat limited.

For extensive features and a stylish design, these watches offer an excellent, competitive price. This will surely delight brand fans who have used Garmin navigation equipment at least once in their lives. Two models have been released simultaneously – for the budget and premium segments.
