Review: A dear, dear friend - How do we know how much we love someone or something? By how much/how little we rejoice when being reunited. Back in August 21', my Garmin Forerunner 230--my second watch of that model--broke when I slipped on a pothole during a long distance run in Jerusalem. Because I wear the face of the watch on the under wrist, it broke while I was breaking my fall. I loved this watch, even though it was an older model that had been phased out of production, and I purchased both it and the previous unit as "refurbished" watches on desertcart. I wore this watch in tandem with a Garmin chest strap to get the most accurate heart rate reading I could during these long runs. When the watch broke, I didn't bother ordering a new one, as I was overseas and preferred to wait until I would be back home in the USA in couple of months. While I missed not having a watch to measure the distances and paces of my runs, I felt a certain "release" and freedom to run without the compulsion to always look down at my watch to see how many miles were behind me, or what my running pace was. I felt free to simply "be in the moment" and enjoy the scenery without defining the moment by my live stats... ...Until four months later, when I started to miss my Garmin. I was going to look for another outdated, refurbished Forerunner 230, but when I looked for it on the desertcart site, I kept being directed to a new Forerunner 45 instead. The display was very different from the 230, and as I read about its features, I thought it has too many "bells and whistles" that I don't need....like the "body battery" feature, concerning which I was quite cynical as to how accurate such a feature could really be (similar to my cynicism about my previous watch's claim to be able to measure my VO2 max). Notwithstanding, at only $139, I considered the watch a great value and purchased it. Just one week into wearing it, I can't take it off...I'm addicted to it! The most pleasant surprise has been the accuracy and convenience of the built in heart rate monitor, which over the past three long distance runs has proven itself to be every bit as good and accurate as the Garmin chest strap I formally wore with the 230. Now I have around-the-clock, 24 hour heart readings, including my resting heart beat, which again is very accurate (mind you, I wear the watch with the face on the under wrist, which probably provides for a more accurate pulse reading). And the feature I was most cynical about, the "body battery," has also proven itself a delightful and accurate edition to the repertoire of my watch's features. How do I know it is accurate? Simply because it accurately expresses exactly how I feel! It is really amazing. Even the clock display, which I thought I would never grow to like--it displays the minutes beneath the hours--has grown on me in just a week, and no longer bothers me. Whereas I used to take off my other Garmins when I went to bed, as they didn't have any features I felt I need during the night, the 45 model begs to be worn around-the-clock, as it provides vital information--heart rate, sleep, and body clock summaries--the next morning. With these features, especially the "body battery," the watch is tutoring me as to what my realistic fitness aims should be, on a particular day. If the body battery displays a 25/100 charge, I probably shouldn't attempt a 12 mile run, like I did nonetheless yesterday, I failed to complete it before hitting "the wall." I highly recommend this watch an model, which is becoming a dear, dear friend.
Review: Great watch for outdoor running - My usual fitness activities have been curtailed by the pandemic, so I started running again. I wanted a device with GPS tracking so I could figure out how far I was running and at what pace. The Forerunner 45 does everything I need, some things that are informative that I didn't know I wanted, and a whole bunch of stuff I don't actually care about. The watch does a great job of tracking distance and time. It continuously records heart rate and steps, so you can see how your pace and run cadence (steps per minute) change over the course of the run. The data is transferred to a mobile device over Bluetooth and then uploaded to the cloud, so you can sit at your computer afterward and see an interactive map of the route you took. This allows you to see if you're speeding up or slowing down at different points. (You can see stats like current pace and heart rate on the watch itself while you're running, but I prefer the after-action report approach.) Most of the data is more interesting than useful, but the important parts seem pretty solid. The watch itself is easy to use. Unlike most mobile devices, it's actually easier to read in bright sunlight. There's about a billion different things you can configure, but if you don't care about those things you can just ignore them. The Bluetooth connectivity works well with my low-end Motorola phone, often sending me notifications even when I'm upstairs and the phone is downstairs. (It's got a lot of "smart watch" features, showing incoming e-mail, text messages, etc.) The watch is waterproof, but the manual recommends rinsing it off if after a workout to prevent corrosion. The Garmin Connect software has all sorts of coaching and social media blah blah whatever. If you want to share or compete you can do so. You can specify the type of exercise you're doing, so I started tracking dog walks as well. Overall, after using it for a week, it seems to be a pretty good piece of gear.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome watch if you're not looking for anything over the top
*by K***M on April 1, 2022*

This watch is perfect for my needs. I run but not marathons. I lift but I'm not a bodybuilder. There are options to track almost any kind of workout you can think of. It tracks steps and sleep and pulse automatically. The GPS is accurate and consistent. This is a great watch for people who take care of themselves but aren't fanatics about it andb especially if they like to charge things up. The watch can do much more than what I have listed below, but here's what stands out to me: Pros: -built IN HR monitor -workout mode: choose from run, treadmill, bike, walk, cardio, or add your own activity -the app allows you to add workouts you didn't track on the watch, e.g., yoga, etc. -Not too big, not too small -choose from different watch faces -choose which widgets the watch displays and in what order (weather, smart notifications, steps, etc.) -smart notifications from your phone (if you're into that) -you can calibrate it if you're using a treadmill (for example, you run 5 miles on the treadmill, but the watch estimates 3.8. Before you save the workout, you can adjust the distance to match the treadmill display. If you forget to do it before you save it on the watch, you can do it later in the app, though the data will not adjust and you'll end up with the correct distance but a big black spot at the end). This is a manual adjustment - you don't need any special Bluetooth enabled treadmill or anything like that. Cons: -face has somewhat small print, certain displays can be hard to read -body battery is inconsistent. It's just a made up thing anyway so not a big deal but doesn't seem to make sense. A good night of sleep should "charge your battery" but often the nights I feel most rested it tells me that my battery is very low. -watch battery doesn't seem to have a warning. I occasionally forget to charge it and don't remember until it's completely dead and the watch is off. Would be nice to get a low battery warning.
