Garmin Forerunner 45 vs Suunto Core Alu
Verdict
The Garmin Forerunner 45 is a great choice for runners who want to track their workouts and all-day activity. It accurately records heart rate, step counts, and calories burned. It also has a built-in calendar that shows events and planned workouts. However, it does not have a built-in altimeter or the ability to edit workouts without internet access. Additionally, it may not be accurate for tracking sleep if you do a lot of weight training activity.
Verdict
The Suunto Core Alu is a great watch for backpackers, photographers, and international-traveler types. It has an intuitive menu system, is comfortable to wear, and has accurate instruments. However, it is prone to scratches and damage if used outdoors, has a dim display even when backlit, and the battery life could be better.
