Thanks Shane, you just cost me £180!! I was happy with my tomtom runner (2nd hand) as I’m pretty new to running. It gave me more running data than my Fitbit charge 2. Then I subbed your channel and watched the videos on the 245. Kept my eye on the price and got one on a Black Friday deal for £180. What a device!! Talk about info overload!! Wife asked me today how my run was... she was asleep halfway through the data I was telling her. Lol. Thanks for the heads up on this great watch. Great videos, really interesting stuff. Keep them coming.

That's one of my favourite comments ever! You're going to love it! Thanks for subbing, really appreciate it. Just gone through 5,000 subs today which is bonkers! Loads more coming!!! Cheers again!!!

Some real world data for those still curious.... I've completed two 50k ultras, and both times my Forerunner 245 battery just made it. My race time was just over 10hrs. The watch died maybe an hour after finishing. I had it on Ultra Trac. Watch is about 2 years old. So I give the Forerunner 245 Music about 11hrs battery life on Ultra Trac. I've signed up for 100k... looks like I'll need a new watch 😤 Sucks, because I really like this watch.

I have the same watch and did a 100k. Use a power bank and short charger cord to charge while doing the 100k

Thanks, Shane! If you can, pls do review Garmin Venu SQ recently launched in Indian market.

[@shanebow]

You're welcome. I will add it to my list and see what I can do. 🏃😎👍

What is the data screen that you are using? Great video 👏👏

[@shanebow]

Hi Akhil! Cheers mate. It's one of the preinstalled datascreens. Have you seen my data screen video? kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIOYZoF4ic2kaLs

Nice quick tip👍 Question for you. Heart Rates - when I do the simple 220 minus my age 54 I get 166 as a Max. On my Fenix 6x (with correct bDay/profile) using Garmin Connect it shows me 197 Max. I think I’d explode after 180. Any tips on why/how etc?

[@shanebow]

The first thing I would have said is check your age, but you've done that. I have no idea. Let's see if someone else reading the comments can add to this...
