Every morning I looked at the sleep report, my body-battery level, and the recovery tracker—these 3 together served as my “training readiness” indicator. They tended to correlate, for example if sleep was poor, body battery would be sub-optimal also. The "training readiness" indicator in my new 265s is a 'nice-to-have' because in theory I can look at one metric to tell me if I'm ready for a big workout, but in practice, I still look at sleep, body battery, and recovery.
The one thing I would have preferred on the 745 would be a narrower strap. For my 6.25-inch wrist, a 22mm strap is just too wide. And this is not just about aesthetics. I find the narrower band on my more recently acquired 265s noticeably more comfortable.
I think the 745’s 1.2-inch (30.4mm) screen size is in the “sweet-spot”. I find Forerunners with 1.3-inch (32.5 mm) displays too big for my wrist (for example the 265) and the 1.1-inch display a tad too small (the one on the 265s). If only there is a Forerunner 265-medium with a 1.2-inch screen size, that would have been the model for me.
My dream Garmin Forerunner would be a Forerunner with all the capabilities of the 965 (except the mapping and navigation features), paired with a 20mm band that tapers to 18mm (or even 17mm), sporting a 1.2-inch AMOLED (same size as the 745 display) so that the watch case diameter would be a respectable 43.5mm and not the gargantuan 46.1mm-sized case of the 265 or 47.2mm-sized case of the 965. Garmin can call it the 765 (an upgrade to the 745). A pipe dream, I think; that is because Garmin did not release a 755, so it seems the 745-line may be an evolutionary dead end.
For now, my 2-year-old 745 can still hold its own. Sure, I have now switched to the 265s for nighttime sleep tracking and treadmill running, but on the bike, the 745 still beats the newer 265s both indoors and outdoors. Outdoors the huge reflective MIP display works really well in bright sunlight. Indoors, I can set the 745 MIP background light to “always-on” for the entire workout. In contrast to a MIP display, the AMOLED version of “always-on” is to dim the background light after a few seconds, which is disappointing. I want an ‘always-on’ that does not dim, Forerunner MIP displays can do that, while Forerunner AMOLED display can’t do that (at least not just yet).
When I bought the 745 two years ago, I really needed the capabilities it had, which my 45s did not have. But now, even with my 265s on hand, there seems to be nothing the 265s can do that the 745 cannot do, and in a particular use-case (placing the watch on the bike handlebar mount) I still prefer the 745 over the newer 265s.
To conclude, I think the 745 is a solid piece of kit and in some use-cases can still hold its own against the latest Forerunner models.
This Forerunner linked right up with My Samsung A71 phone. The free Garmin Connect app is working beautifully with it. I'm in my mid 70's and simply trying to keep myself in decent shape. I don't do marathons or any running since I broke both legs in five places six year ago. The Forerunner is giving me all the feedback I need and want: heartbeat, steps, stair climbing, body battery, tracking me in my Hobie pedal kayak as well as on my bike, intensity minutes, sleep tracking, respiration and calories. And it does it well. The older Instinct was awful at counting flights of stairs (important to me since I descend to my dock 70 feet down from my back door on a daily basis and I want credit for it!) This Forerunner hasn't missed a beat.
My wife asked for my older Solar Instinct. Now I'm hearing "Hey, it didn't count the last two times I climbed stairs!). I keep saying we should buy a 745 for her. But she's frugal. Given my continuing happy experience with my 745, I expect to win her over eventually. The 745 would even fit her better, being a thinner watch.
I've read reviews by folks who like the 745 more then the newer 945. Given the differences between the models and at what cost you get them, I'm certain the 745 was the right choice for me. I'm quite happy with it.
My only nit: I got the "red" band. It's more pinkish-orange than red. But I'm getting used to it

Reviewed in Brazil on July 7, 2022
As estatísticas são maravilhosas e tenho acompanhado de perto a evolução do meu VO2 max, o que é muito motivante. Ele fornece muitos dados que são uteis para o treinador analisar e ajustar os treinos.
Nos primeiros dias a gente se embaralha um pouco com os botões, mas depois pega o jeito. O relógio já até subiu comigo no pódio de uma prova com apenas 4 dias de uso!
Tenho usado para musculação tb, mas aí a gente já esbarra num problema, que é a impossibilidade de entender quando o exercício é de pernas (já que o relógio está no braço).
Para a natação em piscina tb tenho usado sempre, mas confesso estar frustrada pois ele tb não entende quando estamos fazendo treino de pernada, por exemplo. Como o braço fica ali parado na frente com a prancha, ele não entende que vc está nadando (se alguém souber de algo que resolva isso me avise por favor!!!). Além disso, mesmo quando não faço pernadas, sempre há alguma imprecisão na distância, normalmente para menos. Acredito que se for a natação contínua no mar, esses erros não sejam tão grandes.
Enfim, como meu esporte principal é a corrida, estou muito satisfeita. Sem contar que chegou antes do prazo e o preço foi incrivelmente melhor do que se for ver no próprio site da Garmin.
