sorted by245 music
Not according to this. HRV is a really useful metric. Best indicator of a bad night's sleep.
as stated the 255music is very similar to this in terms of features (GPS is better in the 255music + its just a bit newer etc)... however given the price difference this is an easy recommendation!
Garmin forerunner 245 music or 745?
(edited)
this 745 or the 245 music for £22 less
Full comparison.....

For me I'd probably pay the extra £22 for the 745, but its up to you!
If I upgrade to a basic Garmin, is there any risk they will stop support?
I know some of the older models have been around a few years now
Stop support to upload activities on Garmin connect portal? ...very unlikely as Garmin has million devices relying on it and I don't see it abandoning the sport industry like TomTom did
Or do they fail in around 6-9 months like fitbits do ?
