Infographic: Suunto 5 vs Garmin Forerunner 245 Music GPS Watch Comparison

Suunto 5 and Garmin Forerunner 245 are both capable GPS watches.

 

The main differences is that the FR 245 is more of a running watch while the Suunto 5 is for serious athletes doing triathlons or very long endurance events because of its triathlon modes and compatibility with bike power meters, as well as the 40h battery life.

 

For the average user that enjoys a variety of sports that wants a sort of hybrid smartwatch/multi-sport watch then the FR 245 Music is likely a better choice with its music streaming and generally superior Garmin ecosystem.
