As the name suggests, this bad boy is not quite as sophisticated as the $600 and up Forerunner 965, which is why it normally costs $500 in four color options. Only the “whitestone” flavor can be had at the time of this writing at a huge 50 percent discount, and curiously enough, Woot seems to downplay the attractiveness of its hot new promotion by listing the Forerunner 745’s “pointless price” at $399.99.
The performance indicators, stats, and general health benchmarks of this now-affordable smartwatch are themselves pretty much unrivaled (in the sub-$300 segment), covering everything from training load, training effect, recovery time, intensity minutes, and running dynamics to blood oxygen levels, body battery energy, sleep quality, and heart rate variability.
Don’t want to do business with Woot for some reason? The same device in the same hue is on sale at Woot parent company Amazon for $40 under a $399.99 list price, thus setting you back an extra $110 compared to this clearly incredibly attractive offer.
