    My Garmin Forerunner 45

    I bought this Smartwatch after researching for my needs, mainly for tracking daily steps. It does so much more! Also, it's compatible with my Go365 app which is a plus. Battery life is prolonged now that I canceled email notifications, which I don't need. The fit is good with the band even with my small wrist. Price was right and nice to get a Total Tech member discount. I'm very happy with my purchase and recommend the Garmin Forerunner 45.

    Great watch for an even better price. Does anything a more expensive watch will do.

    I really like this watch. I am a traditionalist and like the round face. I also like the fack of the buttons., After all it's not like I need a touch screen for something this small and it keeps the smudges off. Battery life is as advertised and all functions seem to be pretty close to accurate. Gps is a great feature built in and works great. For the price best on market. I like this way better than my wife's fitbit versa.

    Some steps don’t seem intuitive to accomplish a task. The ‘manual’ has been difficult to follow. I am hoping that over the next few months, the processes will become easier to follow. The price seems to be good for what it should do.

    I have only used this watch for several weeks but it has more than met my expectations. It does exactly as advertised although I have only used a few of its many capabilities. The price is right, a great value.

    For a basic watch with great capabilities and nice app support you cannot go wrong with this device. I tried a cheaper brand that had a paid app included for 1 year and was very unhappy with it. This was twice the price but well worth it. A must have IMO.

    Frankly speaking, this Watch really surprised me. At first, I was looking for a conventional GPS Running watch, but after seeing this watch decide to give it a try. I have to say that I really enjoy the experience. The watch is very light, so if you are looking for a roubst watch this is not the case, but for daily use is excellent. Great Price/Quality relationship.
