The Garmin 945 boasts a tome of features that include ANT+ and Bluetooth connectivity for pretty much every statistic available in swimming, biking, and running devices; excellent open-water functions; triathlon/multisport/brick modes; color screen maps and navigation; GPS (obviously); and way more.
Garmin’s latest watch also features a host of performance training functions that help operate as an on-board coach—letting you know when you’re ready for a tough workout, rested, recovered, or in need of more downtime. The Garmin 945 also has non-tri smartwatch features like on-board music via MP3 or Spotify download that beams directly to most Bluetooth headphones alongside touchless payment via Gamin Pay.
