My son uses it for cross country
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.he had the 35 which served well but gps acquisition took forever this takes seconds, battery life is way better and the round look is nice he is smaller so this watch still looks good on him. Being able to change watch faces is a great added bonus

Good watch and battery life
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this watch because I have good experience with Garmin products before. The battery surprisingly lasted 5-6 days on a charge before needed to be plugged in. Also, the Connect app was easy to connect the Garmin watch.

GPS needs to be quicker
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My biggest complaint about this watch is that it takes forever to pick up the GPS satellite signal. I ran today and it took around 2 minutes to pick up the signal. I need to check this some more on a closed track, but it appears that I'm getting different distance readings when running the same distance. On the positive side, although this watch has many features and functions, I only use the time and distance functions for running. It is very easy to start and stop the timer. I'm marking "No" for whether I would recommend this to a friend, but that could change once I confirm that the watch measures distances accurately.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from GarminProductExpert
Posted .Please be sure you are allowing enough time before the activity begins to acquire GPS. If you are close to buildings or under trees or heavy foilage coverage it can take a few minutes longer. As well, if you begin an activity before it has acquired it will take longer for the acquisition to complete. Please go to support.garmin.com where you'll find many helpful FAQ's and video's on the functions of the device.

Nice watch
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the watch has everything I need for my work out. The only thing that can be imprpve is the sound when you have intervals, it sounds very low so with the noise around you can be a challenge to hear it besides that, super easy to use and has all features I need

Love this watch!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Light weight. Great for all experience levels! I’m an average size female and I bought the black unisex version and I’m happy with the fit. The watch isn’t too large for my small wrist.

Nice Running Watch
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the fourth Garmin product I bought - this includes 3 as gifts for others - they are all alive and ticking, so to speak. Very good quality, nice features, and an excellent app to track your workouts / progress towards goals.

Good purchase
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great watch. This is my seconnd Garmin, and the battery on this one is better than the previous one. The treadmill function is quite off though, that's why I give it 4 stars. Otherwise, everything is great!

A terrific smartwatch for biking.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Forerunner 45 is thin and light weight with a sunlight readable display. Excellent battery life for a watch with a heart rate monitor. Syncs with my Edge 25 cycling computer so I can easily monitor my heart rate while I’m riding.
