As an everyday watch, how does this compare to something like the forerunner 245?

Both are smart, multi sport watches. This means I can receive my calls, texts, smart notifications, as well as log my runs, bike rides and more activities. Differences - The forerunner 245 is designed with running as priority 1, and the G1 with diving as priority 1. There are no dive modes on FR 245. FR 245 will be lighter because of this, and additionally the FR 245 has a color screen. On the G1 you get a monochrome screen..but much better batter life(4 months on solar). The water rating is also much superior. Hope that helps! Happy Diving, CJ OnlineScuba 1-866-728-2293 Diving Since 1996

Hi R, The Descent™ G1, Rugged Dive Computer, Multiple Dive Modes, Activity Tracking, Powder Gray is more user friendly and easier to read. Happy Diving, Amber 1-866-728-2293 OnlineScuba Since 1996

Yes, you can even have the backlight stay on continuously underwater or while using an app. - DolphinScuba.com
