Review on πŸƒ Garmin Forerunner 45S: Easy-to-Use GPS Running Watch with Free Coach Training Plan Support - White, 39mm Size by Jacolbe Mind

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Overall great GPS running watch

I bought this watch primarily to track my running sessions with Strava. Appearance excellent (all black). The diameter is perfect for my average male wrist and the height is thinner than the old clunky Garmins. I like that the watch face is always on but off (which is clearly visible), with the ability to press a button to boost the backlight. The GPS usually takes a few minutes to log in, but then recording a workout is very easy; Start/stop, laps, save, etc. are intuitive and easy. I downloaded the Garmin Connect and Strave apps to my phone and once connected, the workouts sync automatically after being saved to Garmin. The heart rate monitor is accurate. The dials are clear and informative. It even shows the weather. The only negative I find is that the watch strap is too flexible, sometimes difficult to thread through the clasp. It could have been tougher. All in all I can recommend this watch.

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Compatibility
