Garmin Forerunner 945 Lte

I haven’t used a sports watch before, and as well as using it for triathlon-specific training, I’d like to use it for the other sports which I usually partake in (football, tennis, weight training etc), and general day-to-day activities. Looking online, it appears the Garmin Forerunner 945 is my best bet.

I love this watch: it tracks everything very accurately and explains how to use all the data, looks great, functions well as a day to day smart watch, etc. It seems very durable and I plan to use it as my daily driver for a long time. However, I can only give it two stars for 2 chief complaints. The...

In a Garmin subreddit you are bound to get a lot of people preferring Garmin. I have newer used a Fitbit product but I really like my Garmin Forerunner 945 LTE

"Babe Paley had only one fault," commented her one-time friend Truman Capote. "She was perfect. Otherwise, she was perfect." While the Garmin 945 LTE is not perfect, it is darn close. Here are my thoughts on running with the 945LTE for a month. Since we all have specific needs, I'll briefly describe...

Garmin doesn’t use subscriptions (only for their sos service on inreach devices and forerunner 945 lte.). Garmins marketing is based on fear of missing out, so they make sure their devices have the longest feature list. Not all of these features are usefull or work very well. But in general, they are good devices for tracking (sport)activities as long as you take all the data it produces with a grain of salt.

Features surrounding heartbeat sensor are endless. That's all it does well. The apps are spotty at best. The build quality leaves a lot to be desired. I've owned several Samsung watches over the years and they've set a high bar that this very expensive Garmin doesn't live up to. The lack of touch sc...

Comparison heart rate Garmin Forerunner 945 and the Garmin HMR band

One activity with Strava and Garmin HRM and other with Garmin Forerunner 945:

As of December 2021 the software is still buggy. Most annoyingly is having to turn the watch off and on again after a workout. Otherwise the software keeps trying to connect to external sensors and drains the battery in less than a day. (Software version 4.16) I’d avoid this until Garmin comes out w...

Garmin Forerunner 945. Pretty damned accurate. Nevre had the pool water eat one, but I have broken the screen twice. YMMV

First fitness watch I've owned. It has improved my life substantially and I love it. It has major problems though 1. Horrible swim stats. Gets stroke count wrong by 50%, sometimes doesn't record laps at all (I've checked the settings). 2. I have to force restart the watch to get the music to functio...
