 The colors are a little more washed out when the light is on, but it is still very easy to read in most lighting conditions.  This is not going to satisfy anyone looking strictly for a smartwatch, but it has enough smartwatch features to make it a useful everyday watch. Access to your phones calendar, and notifications are useful. The internal alarms come with more options than Fitbit's offerings

 I started on a couch to 5k plan a couple of years ago and was hooked! I've since run a number of events (5k, 10k and Half-marathons), and typically run 4 days a week. I thought I would write this review as series over time as I spend more time with the FR645. I have used mostly Fitbit devices the past couple of years, but while their app infrastructure was very user friendly, I was looking for something a little more robust. On the recommendation of several running friends, I looked into the Garmin lineup

First time with Garmin, overall impressed!

I've run using an old Tomtom watch for years and have recently upgraded to a Garmin 645. Both work but the Garmin has many more features and a better app. Also a much longer battery life which is why I finally upgraded.

My new phone doesn't cut it, the tracking isn't that great and it's pretty bulky (even in my flipbelt). So which GPS watch should I look into investing into. The used route could also be a go. I found some 245's (nonmusic) for around 200, but they are used for obvious reasons.


Which watch is worth getting for a mediocre runner? I run around 3-4 times a week and do around 50 km. I want to invest into something decent that I can use for a long time.

<p><strong>EDIT: Bought a used Forerunner 245 and the tracking is WAY better, its pretty accurate now on my trail runs!</strong></p>

Which GPS watch is the one to get now?

So far I'm loving the watch. I enjoy seeing all of the health and running statistics in the Garmin Connect app and I think its a big motivator. The last running watch I had was an old Forerunner 305 that died a few years ago, so I'm really amazed on how much improved the whole experience is along with the Garmin Connect app. The app makes it easy to upload runs and to update the watch, just open up the app after the initial Bluetooth paring and it starts to sync

 The apps will only log in 1 sleep activity per day. So if you take naps, it won't detect it nor will the app even allow you to manually enter it. Also, the app seems to only record sleep around the "normal sleep times" entered in the app, so if you work night shift and sleep during the day sometimes, sleep detection make be difficult. Other fitness watches like Fitbit appear to be able to detect naps, so I don't see why this watch can't

 GPS locks on in a few seconds, GPS tracking looks accurate, and the heart rate monitor appears to be accurate if it compare it to manually checking my heart rate and counting. The watch does have some automatic activity recognition. I started a strength workout and did some push ups, and the watch was able to detect the exercise and count the reps.  Battery life is good enough for me

Overall great sports watch

 I got it in early May and so far I’ve really loved it. I’ve been really happy with all three Garmin devices I’ve owned, but this one in particular is great. It does everything I could want and is loaded with every bell and whistle. It really is right behind my original classic iPod as far as favorite devices

  I couldn’t be happier with Garmin Fitness, the Garmin Connect service, or my Garmin Forerunner 645 . I’m always the first to complain when a service or product doesn’t deliver, so I ought to brag on the ones who do it right, too. Garmin absolutely does it right.

 I freakin’ love this GPS/watch.  So, today, in the car, the watch just fell off my arm. The plastic anchor where the band attached had actually broken. The band no longer had a way to stay attached and came loose

 Not a refirb, a new one. The whole call took maybe four minutes.  I couldn’t be happier with Garmin Fitness, the Garmin Connect service, or my Garmin Forerunner 645 . I’m always the first to complain when a service or product doesn’t deliver, so I ought to brag on the ones who do it right, too

Best fitness tracker/running watch I've ever owned

Great features, but I have now had tow of these watches, neither lasted a year. Time, timer and GPS distance monitoring is solid. The heart rate monitor sometimes switches off for a few days. The step monitor often goes a couple days and measures steps on an intermittent basis

Poor reliability

You’re an athlete, and this is your watch. The forerunner 945 running watch lets you sync with premium music services to put your songs on your wrist when paired with a compatible smartphone (may require premium subscription). It also offers our most advanced physiological features, including training load balance and more. Also enjoy the convenience of quick, contactless payments solution (available for supported cards from participating banks) from the wrist with Garmin Pay. With full color, onboard maps to guide you on your run, you’ll never get lost during a workout. Wherever you go, built in safety and tracking features — such as incident detection (during select activities), which sends you send your real time location to emergency contacts through your paired compatible smartphone.

Switchback Travel

Garmin’s Fenix 7 is hard to beat for backcountry exploration, but the Forerunner 945 is a top-notch sports watch for endurance athletes who like to stick a little closer to home. You get a very similar feature set, including multi-GNSS support (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo), a barometric altimeter and compass, optical heart rate monitor and pulse oximeter, music storage, and great navigation with preloaded topographic, road, and trail maps. But what stands out about the Forerunner is its size: while the 2.8-ounce Fenix can feel overly bulky for activities like running and swimming, the sleek 945 clocks in at only 1.8 ounces. It all adds up to a premium watch that’s purpose-built for triathletes, runners, cyclists, and others focused on traveling fast and light.

The Forerunner 945 gets our glowing recommendation for frontcountry use, but it’s certainly not as versatile as the Fenix. Durability falls short with less rugged materials (Garmin uses a lightweight polymer bezel rather than the Fenix’s steel or titanium options) and a lower water rating (5 ATM vs. 10). And considering that Garmin prioritized a more streamlined build with the Forerunner, we wish it came in a smaller size option. Finally, battery life falls a bit short at 36 hours in GPS mode (the Fenix above can last for 57 hours in GPS-only mode). But it’s nevertheless one of the most featured sports watches for activity-specific tracking, and you get considerably more capabilities than with the value-oriented Apex, including music, various smart features and WiFi, and better health monitoring. You can also opt for the 945 in an LTE version for $50 more, or go with the 745 for $100 less, which shares a similar design but with slightly less storage and no preloaded maps.See the Garmin Forerunner 945

From the start there were some minor software issues. It took a little while to get set up, with my Galaxy S8+ not picking up the device. Eventually after some resets and software updates I got it going. But then I similar had trouble getting music going (spotify in particular), which I eventually was able to resolve (music on a GPS is watch awesome by the way)

 It happened to me and I ended up regretting my purchase big time. Anyone claiming that the FR series is of equal durable to the Fenix series is performing some serious mental gymnastics. Get your hands on both and you'll understand what I mean. 

 The bluetooth is much better, maintaining an actually-usable music connection to my earbud on the opposite side and never failing to connect to devices. The setup and software side were flawless, just like with my returned Fenix 5X. Also it's often reported that you need the new Forerunners for Incident Detection and Assistant, and I can confirm that this is false. It has definitely been back-ported to the Fenix 5 Plus series

 Eventually after some resets and software updates I got it going. But then I similar had trouble getting music going (spotify in particular), which I eventually was able to resolve (music on a GPS is watch awesome by the way). Overall it was just a sloppy experience that started to worry me a little because the Fenix 5X I returned was flawlessly easy to set up and super reliable. Still I pushed on, expecting issues to resolved in software patches

Not pleased

 I read a review online which suggested that the 945 tracks accurately which simply isn’t even remotely true. It’s useless when biking - it regularly says my average HR during rides is only about 100 or less overall, even ones where I’m dripping sweat and out of breath. 

 If I had the choice of buying the 935 for full retail at $500 or the 945 for $600, I’d definitely go with the 945 (again, assuming the battery issue is just with my unit). You probably aren’t going to have to pay full retail for the 935 at this point, however, as it’s a prior model. Unless you absolutely must have music on your watch then I’d suggest picking up a 935 on the cheap somewhere or a Fenix 5 which I saw at REI for only $350 brand new as of last week. For $600, it simply doesn’t deliver that much more than the 935 can for significantly less money - even then, the 245 + music for only $350 is probably a much better option unless you really need maps or the altimeter

5 of those were with music) over about 4 days and was down to 14% battery. When new, my 935 would have gotten probably about double that. I don’t know if I got a defective model or something but my commute to and from work via bicycle is about 50 mins each way. Without music, it would drain 8-10% battery

Forerunner 935 is better

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.

to me. I decided to keep the Marq after experiencing both watches for over a month.  First, the most annoying thing for me was the Forerunner often lagged a half second after each press of the buttons. It felt like it wasn’t responding so I would often press the buttons multiple times and then it caught up and jumped menus on me

For a $500 watch, I expected better.
