From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Garmin forerunner 245 GPS running watch: Was £249.99, now £139.99, Amazon.co.uk

A firm favourite when it comes to fitness tracking, we’ve reviewed a whole range of Garmin watches. And the 245 running watch certainly looks like it will impress.

Its built-in GPS measures both pace and routes, which you can then upload to other services like Strava if you feel you need more analysis. Both heart-rate tracking and VO2 monitor your fitness while you exercise and it can also assess whether you’re over-exerting yourself during a workout. We should also mention that the watch is accompanied by an app which can be used to track trends and set goals for your training sessions.

We haven’t given this one a test drive just yet, but we have reviewed the Garmin forerunner 245 music in our round-up of the best Garmin watches. “Put simply, this lightweight watch includes pretty much everything you need as a runner. Accurate GPS tracking means you know your distance and speed, while your heart rate is measured from your wrist, so you know how hard you’ve pushed.”

The regular forerunner 245 is largely the same design as its music counterpart, with the main difference being that the latter allows you to sync your Spotify playlist. Overall, it does everything you need from running watch and with a stellar £110 discount, it’s hard to ask for much more.
