Running watch that can store up to 500 songs Garmin announced the launch of the Forerunner 645 Music, a GPS running watch that can store and play music.
The Forerunner 645 Music, which can store up to 500 songs, is the first Garmin wearable running watch that can play music, and its biggest feature is that you can freely enjoy exercising while listening to music without having to carry your phone. Until now, in order to enjoy music while running or exercising, you had to carry a separate device for music playback, such as a smartphone or MP3 player, but the Forerunner 645 Music eliminates this inconvenience.
The Forerunner 645 Music, which adds sophistication and refinement to the sporty design of the existing Forerunner series, is the first in the Forerunner series to use durable stainless steel for the body and is equipped with an always-on Garmin Chroma display with excellent readability.
The latest functions in exercise dynamics have been further enhanced so that not only ordinary running enthusiasts but also professional athletes can utilize them for systematic training. With a built-in heart rate sensor that operates 24/7 and the Firstbeat app, it automatically evaluates your previous exercise history and fitness level to determine whether you are currently training productively or excessively, allowing you to efficiently adjust your training volume and intensity and maintain optimal condition.
You can follow simple interval workouts and high-intensity training by viewing pre-downloaded workout courses directly on the watch screen, and if you wear the Running Dynamics Pod, which is compatible with the Forerunner 645 Music, on your waist, you can measure various things such as cadence, ground contact time, and stride length without a chest strap.
When connected to a smartphone, you can check incoming calls, texts, social media alerts, etc. right on your wrist, and activity information is automatically uploaded to Garmin Connect, a free online fitness community app. Through the app, users can enjoy various motivating functions such as exercise records and performance analysis, sleep pattern monitoring, and earning virtual badges through friendly competition with friends.
You can also download free watch faces, widgets, data fields, apps, and more through the Garmin Connect IQ store to customize your smartwatch with personality.
The Forerunner 645 Music has a water resistance rating of 5 ATM (50 meters), making it ideal for swimmers. It provides various information such as swimming distance, pace, number of strokes, calories burned, and even detects stroke type (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly).
It boasts excellent battery life, lasting up to 7 days in smartwatch mode, up to 14 hours in GPS mode, and up to 5 hours when playing music in GPS mode.
