Using forerunner 45 for a month now. Overall satisfied but display during the activity can be improved. GPS takes a minute to latch but tracks perfectly. Battery is shown in multiples of 20%. This can be improved to show exact battery available.

Ive waited for five months before writing a review on the Garmin Forerunner 45. I wanted to be sure of my views and that confidence could only emerge with repeated usage over time. Hence, after about more or less 500kms of running in the past five months, I am confident of my review accuracy.So I wanted a fitness watch, solely to monitor my runs, walks and physical activity. It took me some time but I homed on to the Forerunner 45 considering both my budget and specific purpose.The Forerunner 45 is not a smart watch with versatility and functions of the Apple Watch but it performs some useful smart functions of alerting you once a call or message is received. Leave that aside as my purpose was not a full-scale smart watch but a physical fitness smart watch.And I could not have been happier. The Forerunner 45 is beautifully crafted and ergonomically designed. I have a thin wrist and the watch size was perfect for me. I find it fits snugly and the watch band has excellent grip and sturdy latching mechanism.It is very accurate. I matched the iPhone measurements and based on my previous measured runs I found the watch to be consistent and correct in measurements. Plus, its a Garmin product, they produce GPS receivers that are fitted on aircraft and ships the world over. So accuracy is assured.Battery life is very good, I need to charge it every third day or preferably the second day, and the charging takes little time. I think about 30 minutes or so to full charge from half charge status. In all probability, if you dont use the GPS, the battery life will be a week. The point is battery life is very good and charges fast.The push buttons for accessing the menu are intuitive and I never felt the need for a touch screen functionality. When your fingers are sweaty and you are doused in sweat, you need hard interfaces and the push buttons are ideal. At least I feel so. The menu navigation takes a little time to get used to but its not a worry at all. Be a little patient in the initial stages to learn the settings. There is some complexity in settings such as alerts every km or units or targets etc. I wonder how much of these can one gainfully use, but there are a number of user settings that can be done. I like the feature that when its dark and you are exercising, the dial lights up when the wrist is turned to your face for you to see the exercise status, and then switches off on its own. That saves battery too. Good engineering.Yes, you may have read that the GPS lock on takes some time and I too have noted that occasionally. But off late, after upgrading the software, I have not noticed any delay in locking on to the GPS. It takes less than a minute but I have had occasions that the lock on has taken up to 15 minutes. In a way, a few minutes to achieve lock on is good as I warm up and stretch during that time. So if it takes a little while, I am fine with it. But please ensure that you upgrade the software upon release of a new version. This should happen automatically on syncing the watch with the Garmin App on the phone.The mobile app is well designed and syncs well with the watch. The details of your walk, run, duration of exercises, VO2, calories, sleep activity are all updated and aggregated. For instance, its a good feeling to see the amount youve walked or run in a week or a month or a full year. And you do get motivated to exercise more if the data shows a declining trend. Your best effort is also highlighted from time to time. In all, the Garmin app is neat, well designed and presents the data in great detail. For example, you can access additional details of your run, your heart rate, body battery and also stress level. You can compare yourself with the rest of the population that is using Garmin app. Frankly, I have not accessed in great detail the data measured by the Watch, its quite a lot. But the watch is very sensitive. I was once running and a wire from a tree was hanging loose, I ran into it unknowingly and it stabbed me on my cheek bone…I stopped dead on my track and the watch started to vibrate wildly exclaiming a sudden stop and then went on to dial the emergency number. I was amazed. This could have actually been an emergency if the wire has impacted my eye. Hence, the watch is very sensitive to alert any fall or sudden stop. I can vouch for that.So for QUALITY, BUILD, ACCURACY, APP SUPPORT and BATTERY…the Forerunner 45 is a great fitness watch.

Great great watch.Pros / highlights:- Very light- Large numbers and configurable watch-faces- Ability to set multiple alarms, which can be configured in phone and better yet, online (Garmin Connect)- Weather widget- Built-in GPS (you do not need to carry your phone to track router)- Great phone appCons:- Without the phone connected to internet, the app has ‘limited’ functionality (by design)- Phone will track all stats, yet they will only be sync’ed to phone once phone has access to internet- If you are travelling … and you have no roaming enabled … your option is wifiIMPORTANT: Please remember to buy screen protectors for watch
