    It’s got a lot of vital stats like Heart Rate, Sleep Tracking information and calories burned. It also gives you your daily steps, and activity stats in color. It’s important to note that you have to “sleep” with your watch for it to actually track your stages of sleep data. It also has different activity modes like running, biking and treadmill. Finally it has a long battery life and is easy to charge assuming you have the right charger as I had to get a free replacement one from Garmin.

    This watch is a simple fitness tracker with a good app. It has worked great for my running, walking tracking. It also works great as a watch. I don’t have to push any buttons durning the day to see the time, and some how they accomplish that with out back lighting. I like this watch because it pretty simple. I didn’t want a watch buzzing me every time my phone gets a message or some one likes a insta post, and this watch allows me to turn all that off, also allows for it if your that guy.

    4.0 out of 5 stars good for running, needs s/w updates
    Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2022
    Color: WhiteStyle: 45sPattern Name: WatchVerified Purchase
    great for running, although the gps is a bit slow. No real complaints as a running watch!
    A lot of the displays could use work. Things aren't labeled. None of the graphs scale at all, so they look totally flat w/ just 2 pts labeled (e.g. heartrate is just s wiggly line at about 0.15 on whatever scale it is, whether my pulse is 49 or 115 it looks the same).
    The "moveIQ" feature just doesn't work as well as a fitbit; it isn't customizable, and it tells me I need to move while I'm mid walk or doing yardwork, and then it says "move bar cleared" when I'm sitting motionless. That needs work!
    Not to pile on, but w/ no phone paired/no bluetooth, and default settings (~1.5s backlight, gps only during runs, heartrate on), I get like 3.5d of battery life instead of the claimed 7d.
    OK, that may sound negative, but overall it's hands down the best I've had for running. Just the rest of the (less important) stuff needs some (mostly software) work.
    It isn't too big (I got the 45s as I have tiny wrists for a dude). I think there's a lot of potential here, and "fresh from the box" it does what I need for running. The pc/web apps work fine and have lots of info (again, graph scaling is terrible; c'mon guys the code for this has been public since before any of y'all were born, it's not hard). It seems to do well on route logging, distance, pace, etc. although I haven't tried to rigorously calibrate it (just using it's defaults, but it seems ok so far).
    So, very high marks for a casual runner. If I really wanted a lifestyle fitness monitor I'd probably pick a fitbit, like my wife uses tho. But I expect this will improve (already a lot of s/w updates, some pretty substantial).
    ---- followup---
    I'm increasingly skeptical of the heart rate monitor accuracy. It says my sleeping HR is 41-45; pretty sure I'd be dead? walking across the room it frequently says 115. reading? anywhere from 51-90..wth? Lifting for 45m? 65 while lifting but randomly jumping to 100+ when I'm resting for a longer break. I'm exactly avg size/wt for adult male, and in "meh" shape after 2020-21, very casual run/lift a couple times a week. In the past i've checked and gotten much more reasonable & consistent HR (60-65 resting, ~100+exercising, etc.) manually. Still happy w/ the running watch time & distance & logging tho.

    I purchased this watch to replace a Garmin Forerunner 35 that I had for years as it was on it's last legs. I found this watch to be easy to add to the Gamin Connect app so I could seamlessly keep using that for my workouts and other data. I especially like the GPS feature so I can just go for a run anywhere I want and I know how far I have gone. This eliminates the need to carry my phone or repeatedly run the same pre measured routes. This Forerunner 45 is about the least expensive sports watch I could find that had the built in GPS. I find the distance tracking to be quite accurate based on using it on known routes that had distance measured previously.

    The battery life is excellent and it can go for a number of days without recharging. However, one of the minor issues I have with this watch over the 35 is that I have to take it off to charge it as the charger plugs into the back. With the 35, the charger kind of clipped on the side so I could continue wearing it while charging. I typically charged it when working by simply plugging it into my laptop.

    The Forerunner 45 was also easy to pair with my phone and gives me notifications for emails, texts, incoming calls, etc. However, I do find the display on this watch a bit harder to read than the 35. There is more info to see and the text is smaller on this watch. But, I am on the older side, so any younger users with better eyesight may not have any issues with this.

    Overall, this is an excellent, basic, fitness and smart watch. And with the built in GPS at this price level, it can't be beat.
