Pros and cons

According to our smartwatch expert

The watch displays heart rate zones while you're working out, so you can workout with a specific target in mind, for instance to improve your stamina.
With GPS and GLONASS, the watch determines your location, speed, and route more accurately than comparable watches.
Is compatible with the sports app Strava. This means you get extensive analyses and can share your performance with friends and followers.
The watch doesn't support music storage, so you have to take your phone with you each workout.
Doesn't have a trackback function that navigates you back the way you came from.

Description

With the Garmin Forerunner 45, you're always aware of your heart rate. The integrated heart rate sensor automatically measures your heart rate throughout the day. You'll also stay informed of your calories burned, steps taken, and your sleep. The smartwatch automatically recognizes the moment you begin your training. Nobody around to join you in your exercise? With the virtual partner, your watch will always give you a worthy opponent. You can easily connect the smartwatch to your Android or Apple smartphone via Bluetooth. That way, you can see notifications of WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram coming in on your wrist.

Note: an adapter isn't included. Do you want to charge the watch via a socket? If so, order an adapter separately.

All basic functions are in it without bells and whistles

Basic Features
Light to wear
Software 3.20 still contains some bugs

Bought a Garmin running watch as a backup and it does exactly what I minimally need: time, heart rate, distance, speed, laps. Also general activity and sleep tracking, but that is not a goal in itself. Works fine.

Review is 10 out of 10.

Nice watch for a nice price with many running functions.

Easy in use
Nice design, not that big (so also suitable for smaller wrists)
Suitable for all kinds of workouts
Connecting to GPS takes quite a while. Hopefully there will be a good update from Garmin for that

Nice watch for a nice price with many running functions. You can set up all kinds of training programs via the Garmin app, but also, for example, via TrainingPeaks (via Garmin app). Watch charges quickly and battery lasts long enough. The watch has a beautiful design, so you can also wear it as a "normal" watch.

Review is 9,0 out of 10.

Nice watch for targeted training

Possibility to create extensive workouts yourself
Easy to operate buttons while running
Quick sync with phone

Good watch to record your run. If you follow a schedule you can set it as a workout, then you will receive feedback while walking if your pace/heart rate/cadence value is higher or lower than your set goal. Afterwards, the route and data are clearly visible in the Garmin Connect app and, if necessary, linked also in strava. I believe you can also download ready-made Garmin workouts.
