Review on πŸƒ Enhanced Garmin Forerunner 945 LTE: Advanced GPS Running and Triathlon Smartwatch with LTE Connectivity, Whitestone by Gary Duncan

Simply Brilliant: GPS, Finder and Accessories

I have owned many Garmin watches over the years. I recently purchased a Garmin Forerunner 945lte along with my purchase of Bose Sport open-back headphones. I downloaded music from my Revain music playlist. The sound is amazing. I ran away from school in the late 1970s. I wish we had that technology back then. Of course, it would be nice to be able to listen to music during the daily 20-mile runs. In my senior year, 1980, I was a state champion in the 800, 1600, and 3200 meters, and in 1979 I was a state cross-country champion. Now I'm older (wiser) and still run 60 miles a week. What I love are all the metrics this watch offers. They help me understand when I'm trying too hard. The clock makes me a smarter runner. I love Garmin coaching. I'm training for a marathon. I'm 59 years old and had a massive heart attack, so using the watch's LTE emergency call feature makes me feel safer. A small fee of either $6.99 per month or $5.99 per year per month is required, and the annual payment is $71.88. There are so many great things about this watch. I strongly recommend all enthusiastic athletes to consider buying this watch. I'll update them as I have a few months work to give some real perspective.

Pros
  • Create music on the fly by downloading it from music services (premium third-party subscription may be required) such as Amazon Music, Deezer, Spotify and more to easily create up to 1000 songs save and play from your wrist when paired with compatible headphones
Cons
  • Expensive
