Garmin has released a new smartwatch specifically for runners and athletes looking for more detailed training data.

The Forerunner 745, Garmin said, is "an advanced GPS smartwatch built for runners and triathletes looking for detailed training data, on-device workouts, smartwatch features and more.

Whether heading out for a run, ride or swim, the Forerunner 745 will monitor stats and analyze data to help athletes reach their goals. Featuring dozens of built-in activity profiles, including triathlon, pool swimming, track running and more, athletes can round out their training routine and can seamlessly switch between activities with the press of a button during a race or brick workout."

Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of worldwide sales, said the Forerunner 745 is an updated to Forerunner 735XT.

“Tracking every sweaty run, bumpy bike ride and long swim, the Forerunner 745 combines the performance monitoring tools our athletes have come to depend on with new daily suggested workouts, as well as an improved recovery time advisor and wellness tracking features, to help runners and triathletes beat their personal best," Bartel said.

The watch includes monitoring tools from Firstbeat Analytics “like VO2 max, training load, training status and aerobic and anaerobic training effects. Athletes will even receive on-device running and cycling daily workout suggestions based on their current training load and VO2 max.”

By adding a heart rate strap such as the new HRM-Pro, Garmin said runners can see cadence, stride length and other metrics right on the watch.

“The Forerunner 745 also features advanced dynamics to help with cycling and swim training. While on a bike, it will track data such as left/right balance, time seated and standing, platform center offset and power phase.”

In the water, the watch will track distance, stroke and pace.

The Forerunner 475 is compatible with Garmin Coach free training plans, can store up to 500 songs and sync playlists from music streaming services such as Spotify and Amazon Music and has Garmin Pay for contactless payment.

Wearers can receive text messages, emails and look at social media and has a built-in tracking system that others can follow.

According to Garmin, “The Forerunner 745 features up to one week of battery life in smartwatch mode, up to 16 hours in GPS mode and up to 6 hours in GPS mode with music. It is available in black, neo tropic, magma red or whitestone and has a suggested retail price of $499.99.”
