    Have had a Forerunner 35 for 18 months. Thought it might be time to upgrade. Big mistake. I mostly do run/walk and the vibration mode for the run/walk changes is critical. I can barely feel the vibration on the 45 and there is no way to adjust it. I spent most of my first three runs looking down at the watch to get the intervals and just got tired of it. Not to mention the splits are only marked by one vibration, not the three separate vibrations on the 35, which were important in determining whether it was an interval change or a mile mark. Anyway, I went back to the 35. Would not recommend the 45 under any circumstances - I've wasted $150.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

  • Glad I bought it.
