Yes, you can connect Garmin Connect to Strava and your workouts will be automatically uploaded to Strava. Or you can download the Stava app directly to your watch.
We work with daily prices, which can be influenced by various factors such as purchasing conditions, stock levels and supply and demand. It is therefore possible that different models may differ in price.
The price for used items is always based on the condition and the selling price at the time. As soon as a product shows scratches or wear and tear, a much larger part of the price is deducted.

Since the watch is waterproof, it is safe to wear while canoeing. As far as I know, Garmin does not have a "canoeing" function. But there are apps you can install yourself, and apparently there are canoeing apps like this one: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/cff41f71-ab9e-4d43-a0b6-4638079c3d66. So there is nothing to stop me using the watch for canoeing.

To my knowledge, they are identical. Anything else would surprise me.
Helpful answer
No.
Without sports activity, no it does not seem normal. With bluetooth, sensors (cardio /oxymeter), a simple display and without activity, mine lasts 10 days. Afterwards, depending on the activity/setting and the screen configuration, it drops more quickly. The complexity or simplicity of the basic display has a direct influence on consumption.

According to Garmin (https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/forerunner245/EN-US/GUID-BE888A02-503B-41E6-8F34-15604E0B9CA3.html) it is 3.5 Gb for approx. 500 songs
You just have to look at the right offer. Garmin Forerunner 245 (42.30 mm, fibre reinforced polymer) The Digitec sorting algorithm is a bit strange. But have you ever thought that a normal Swiss dealer would rather not make a price that ends at 57 centimes? Therefore also note the following https://helpcenter.digitec.ch/hc/de/articles/360012370979-Angebote-von-Drittanbietern
With grey bracelet *without* music, with black bracelet *with* music ... :-)
As far as I know, there is no difference between the versions with and without music. The watch itself is black. The strap is grey/anthracite.
Yes it is
Strength activities can be recorded. In addition to the normal values such as pulse, calorie consumption, etc., reps, exercise type and weight can also be recorded here. However, the input via the watch is rather impractical. Other sports available are Bike, Run, Treadmill, Indoor Track, Pool Swim, Bike Indoor, Yoga, Walk, Track Run, Track Run, Trail Run, Row Indoor, Cardio, Pilates, Breathwork, Stair Stepper and other. The sports can also be expanded at will.
Helpful answer
According to our research, you cannot listen to music directly on the watch. You also need a smartphone for that.

Hello, there are official Garmin replacement wristbands, at least on garminshop.ch. Here at digitec I do not know
Helpful answer
The current altitude can be displayed (the desired data can be set yourself), but altitude*difference* does not seem possible. It is visible afterwards in the app.
Helpful answer
The SPhone can be left at home. The watch has GPS and can thus record everything.
Helpful answer
Yes, it's the same in principle. The vivosport simply has a clamp and the Forerunner has a normal cable. The connection is otherwise exactly the same.
Helpful answer
Yes, you can choose between sound, vibration or sound + vibration.
