A very high-quality product, I take it not for the first time.

After various fitness bracelets and inexpensive Chinese sports watches, I am delighted with the Garmin Forerunner 45. They look decent and satisfy all (okay, almost all - they screwed me with the pool) of my needs.
I must admit, I doubted for a while - I was worried about disconnections with the phone. Then, as luck would have it, immediately after my purchase, Garmin had a failure. Ransomware hackers attacked the servers and the service went down for a week. The watch worked autonomously, the workouts were not loaded anywhere. And the manufacturer was silent like a fish on ice. Acomuple of tweets on the official twitter, nothingcomncrete or even life-affirming. In the end, somehow managed, but the sediment remained.
However, everything settled down. I became related to the watch and now I am very pleased with the gadget. I set it up to suit my needs and do not shoot at all.
If interested, watch my video review 

Pros

The watch is good both in appearance - it looks stylish and rich, and in its functionality. This is a great option for runners and cyclists. Perfectly count tracks, send (if necessary) activity to Strava, monitor lifestyle and show notifications from the phone. Almost merged with the hand, felt like family. In addition to sports data (heart rate, number of steps and other health indicators), it is convenient that you can see the weather and control the music player without taking your phone out of your pocket.

Cons

A very limited list of activities - running, walking, treadmill, biking, cardio. There is no swimming, and this is upsetting. So a complete health map cannot be compiled. Not only can you not record a swim in the pool, but the vaunted Garmin Move IQ algorithm defines swimming as an ellipsoid. From time to time they lose connection with the iPhone - I think it's in the application, because in the Bluetooth settings the clock is displayed as active. The location is not immediately determined. After starting a workout, you have to walk a little for the GPS signal to be displayed in green. It doesn’t really bother me - just the right distance to gather my courage before the start of the race, but cheap Chinese sports watches caught the satellite faster. Unreasonably high prices from official sellers. In America, these watches are much cheaper.
