First question would be I guess, i can't tell if the 245 will track elevation during my runs, am I correct? I feel like this should be on all of their watches.
I'm a fairly new runner. I have completed multiple 1/2 marathons, and would like to start training for some full(s) next year. I trail-run occasionally to break up the road running. I also ride my bike every week or so to get some different exercise and give the knees a break.
My main irritation is that the touchscreen causes me so many unnecessary frustrations, like if it's unusually hot and I sweat a little more, getting on the face, causes unexpected changes, like to my screen, etc.
Just looking for something that won't break the bank but still give me the running data that I need to continue to get better.
