Review on ๐Ÿ“Ÿ Enhanced Performance and Connectivity: Garmin Forerunner 945 LTE Smartwatch, Black by Paarvin Freedman

Just Brilliant: Sports and Handheld GPS

I've 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
  • Measure your 400m distance more accurately with the Running Distance activity profile
Cons
  • Little things
