BUILT-IN SPORTS APPS
Switch up your workout routine with activity profiles for cycling, pool swimming, indoor rowing, elliptical, stair-stepper and more.
WRIST-BASED HEART RATE
The watch constantly samples your heart rate3 and will alert you if it stays too high or too low while you’re at rest. It also helps gauge how hard you work during activities. Even underwater.

Track where you run, and get accurate stats, including distance, pace and intervals.
RUNNING DYNAMICS
When used with a compatible accessory, Forerunner 245 measures crucial running metrics such as cadence, stride length, ground contact time and balance and more.
VO2 MAX
Train smarter with VO2 max, an indicator of how you can expect to perform. This metric even accounts for changes in performance that could be caused by heat or altitude.
PULSE OX SENSOR
This wrist-based sensor estimates your body's blood oxygen saturation4, which can help gauge how your body is absorbing oxygen — especially while you sleep.
TRAINING STATUS
This metric evaluates your recent exercise history and performance indicators to let you know if you’re training productively, peaking or overreaching.
TRAINING EFFECT
See how your workouts influence the development of endurance, speed and power with aerobic and anaerobic training effect feedback.
