I actually one this Garmin and has been using a Fitbit blaze prior....but once I started wearing the Garmin I ditched my Fitbit b/c this was much more easier to use and had more features that I used while working out. Over all this is an outstanding product, I love it!

I bought this watch for xc over the summer and I really like it minus the fact the mileage is off sometimes.

Sleek

I was impressed by its accuracy and how useful it was to track my runs! It even goes to details that I didn’t know was possible with a watch. It is so light that it will feel like it’s not there. It’s round design makes it feel more like a designer watch than a fitness watch. With hundreds of features to choose from, I give this watch a good by me.

5 STAR but for the band
on August 22, 2019

Bought a month ago and I like everything about this watch, except the band design... it is like my FR15 which I had to purchase many replacement bands for.($$$) The design and the materials are the same in the FR45s. I would expect that these bands will have a short life span as well. They are very comfortable however. I have always used Garmin Connect...so I went with Garmin again for consistency in my software. I figured I would just have to try to be gentle on the band and replace when needed. All in all I find this device easy to use and I enjoy the wrist HR ability. I have it synced to my phone so I don't have to pull my phone out of my pocket every time I receive messages or calls. Love this! If you are thinking of getting a FR45s I would recommend it price point and a well made GPS watch. Just be gentle on the bands (don't put it in pocket) best to leave it on all the time.

Very accurate

I have had a fitbit ionic for a year and I loved it but kept having problems. I decided to try the forerunner 45s and have only had it a few days but I feel like it's more accurate. Doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the ionic, but I'm learning to appreciate the value. Only problem I have is getting click faces to load but I'm certain it's user error and I will figure it out. Love the charging cable. Haven't been able to figure out if I can jump in the pool with it yet.

Awesome Watch

I am so happy with this watch. I have always loved garmin watches for running and feel they are very accurate. I also wanted a "smart" watch and this is a great combo watch. It has basic features of a smart watch (calls/texts/notifications/etc) and is also a great running watch. I would recommend this watch to my other runner friends

My brother had a Garmin Watch before I did. He is a runner so he wanted one and he absolutely loves his. I am now being more active and training constantly. I wanted to get a Garmin Watch because I saw how my brother loved his. I got mine a few days ago. I absolutely love my watch. It is the best watch that I have ever had. It even has some really cool features on it that I wasn’t expecting. I love my Forerunner 45S so much! Thank you Garmin for what you do! I would definitely recommend any Garmin Watch, especially a Forerunner 45S, to anyone looking for a watch like these.

Awesome Data Tracking!
on August 22, 2019

I have had my watch for about a month now and absolutely love it! It is perfect for anyone who is active. I’m not a hardcore runner but still love the other features and accuracy of the data! One of my personal favorite features is the stress level reader and the mensural cycle tracker! It even has a wide range of symptoms you can choose from to keep track of! Super cool!
