Review on Garmin Forerunner 45: Easy-to-Use GPS Running Watch with Free Training Plan Support in Red by Ka Sem ᠌

Service life of more than a year. Operated from -20 to +38 degrees Celsius. Garmin Forerunner 45 watch was purchased on 11/09/2022 at the official Garmin MEGA Belaya Dacha store. A few days ago, the fastening of the strap on the case broke off when I took off my T-shirt after a workout. Everything is fine with the T-shirt, but Garmin did not survive this (see photo). The strap has not been removed since purchase. As you can see in the photo, repair = replacement of the case on which the bar with the serial number is located. The one-year warranty has ended, the Garmin service center recommended using the trade-in program, which gives a 15% discount when buying a new device with the return of the old one. There is no desire to buy new ones for another year and a half because of such a design feature, and other Forerunner models in the official store are much more expensive, even with a 15% discount. I do not recommend this model for purchase because of such a fastening of the strap. After the mount breaks, a fully functional device becomes useless.
