Watch with Trailrunning Profile?

Former Member

I've been using a FR45 for a couple of weeks now, mostly for runs. I'm in love with it, but for 2 reasons I'm thinking about getting a new watch:

The battery only lasts about 2 days when using GPS for about 3h a Day. Though that is only a minor off for me, I don't mind it too much.

Secondly, it is missing the trailrunning Profile. And since about half of my runs are on more or less technical trails, I'd prefer to record them as that. Espeially because I'm hoping for a better vo2max calculation with that.

Now, I can't seem to find a list of watches that have the TR Profile. Generally, I cant find any coherent info on the official garmin Website for particular watches on that either, so I have to rely in Manual Research. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Anyway, here are watches I've been looking at:

FR245 and 55/255
Instinct 1/2 (solar)

Do those have the TR Profile?

Btw, I'll be buying a second hand watch, as I don't want to be spending too much money.


Cheers
Tony
