245 + hrm vs 945 + hrm

Former Member over 5 years ago

Hello everyone, I am a newer runner training for my first half marathon. I am wondering if I would be missing out on any running metrics if I went with a 245 with a hrm strap over a 945 with a hrm strap?

You'll miss out on a few metrics / features geared towards running, but you'll have to decide how important those few are to you. I hope this helps.

Do not miss anything. 245 is very good for running

It all depends on what metrics / features the individual finds important to them. Even as a casual runner, I find the barometer, maps, training load focus, lactate threshold and the HRV stress test with a strap valuable in my training that I get with my 945. The other additional features on the 945 I don't need.
