Great fitness watch, works well. The only thing I would like Garmin to add to the watch is stairs, count the times you go up and downstairs. I love all Garmin products.

Decent product for the price. I don’t like the fact that it doesn’t tell me the weather but I have an older iPhone it does great at what it is meant to do.

This is a very good watch for the value. Works just as well as the more expensive Apple watches with my iPhone 13.

This watch works great but unfortunately it feels useless with better smart watches out there. It doesn’t do much but looks cool.

I gave this watch to my son for Christmas. He is a seasoned runner and loves it! Simple to use, gets the job done well.

Use the watch only for running. Has been few times it took a while to sync GPS. Seems very accurate in the distance, the running speed not always accurate though.

This is a great fitness watch hands down! I am glad that I made this purchase and I would recommend this watch to anyone

It was really cool looking but didn't have touch screen. I should have did more research.

Helps me keep track of my health and I have lost a lot of weight. It’s awesome and I highly recommend it. Had an Apple Watch before but perfect this.

Before I get into my review, this is an honest review, meaning that this is how I felt, the experience may be different in your humble opinion. - Now, this smartwatch is good and all, but it isn't what I wasn't expecting, neither was it worth the $130 I payed. The watch display, the Body Battery wasn't always accurate, the watch often lagged, etc. It just wasn't that great when I had it.

Garmin -Forerunner 45 GPS heart Rate Monitor Running Smartwatch- Black is excellent watch. It is very convenient to have heath & Wellness watch.

My girl loves it. Happy wife, happy life. She likes it more than the old Garmin watch she lost.

I have been using garmin for more than 3 year and this one purchased for my wife

Moving from a Garmin 35 to a 45- was excited about the upgraded running tracking and the VO2 max info. Complete disappointment as the battery only lasts 9 hours!!! And all the trouble shooting suggests to turn off pretty much every mode in order to get a 1-2 days out of it. Why even have a watch to track and sync with your phone then? When moving from the Garmin 35 battery which lasts up to 2 weeks (still being able to sync with your phone, count your steps, heartrate, activity use daily and such, the Garmin 45 'improvement' was a complete disappointment. I would charge this at night and use the vibration alarm in the morning to wake, and the battery would be nearly dead. Then it takes 1-2 hours to fully charge so I'd have to think about this all the time, esp if I want to sneak a run in after work. There is no way this battery usage is user friendly. I don't need one more electronic to babysit. Being returned and on the search for a better lasting battery option but yet the accuracy of the Garmin with some improved VO2 max tracking and such. Bummer because I love my Garmin 35 and was super hopeful about the 45. Garmin needs to address this major problem!

The design looks simple and beautiful! The band is slightly narrow than Forerunner 35, which makes it easier to put it on and take it off.

Good economical running watch and I would recommend this to other people

Great basic function watch. Good for my teenage cross country runner who is hard on devices.

I needed a new Garmin to replace my old Garmin 250. This watch is perfect for running and heart monitoring.

The activity trackers is on point and a good watch to gift someone.

Once you get used to the functions, it works like a charm. I really like how they send you emails with your statistics.
