Too complicated
on December 30, 2019
Posted by: jolar
After having Garmins in the past I was excited to purchase another to replace another tracker. Unfortunately - the watch was entirely too complicated for me. I wanted something quick and easy and the features on this device were just too much. I miss just hitting a button and having my Garmin do what I need. With much disappointment - I'm returning it today -

Not user friendly

I received this as a gift for Christmas and the control panel and the way that you have to scroll to get to each option is not user friendly. I like the fit of it and the look . It’s not too bulky either but it’s counterintuitive in layout of how to navigate through each option. The buttons are not labeled correctly in my opinion to facilitate quick and easy use . Disappointed .

I needed a watch to constantly check my heart rate, since I am 73 and becoming very serious about physical fitness. This one does that and so much more - love this watch

I’ve had this for 2 runs now and couldn’t be happier with this purchase. It has all the features I need and then some as a (returning from years off) Runner.
Going from a watch with a stopwatch to the Forerunner 45 is quite a jump. Great watch!

I ordered this watch and received it on January 2nd. I have to admit it's a little more complicated than the Fitbid I had but I'm sure I will learn the features as time goes on. I do wish it had its own calorie counting capability, but again, I need to get used to using the MyFitnessPal app. All in all, it is a great watch!

If U R serious about tracking your results, buy it

Just bought this 2 days ago and I am happy with all the information it can provide for me. If you are serious about tracking your results, keeping a log, this is a must have. Dispose of the old watch that gives you just the time you have put in running. This gives you mileage, pace & time & a whole lot more. Plus it gives you a map of the course you ran with splits. Great stuff.

Great features!

I just bought it this week and am still learning everything it can do but it's perfect for keeping track of your workouts, runs, walks, etc. I do wish the interface was a little easier to navigate or that they added buttons to make it easier to use. I miss my Gear2, it had a lot more functions, a touch screen and the face rotated to help you find functions.

I was given the Garmin Forerunner 45 as a gift and I love it. It is so easy to use and the Garmin connect app is great to track my runs
