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.

 Then I remembered… I get a TON of notifications thru my phone, so that had my watch active a lot. I went into Garmin Connect and turned off ALL phone notifications, then just turned on the notifications for calls and texts (because that’s all I want to see on my watch)… and the battery life improved dramatically. Still too soon to make the final call, but I think it’s good now. Just something to be aware of

. excellent watch with crummy buttons. If I hadn’t caught it on sale, I think I would’ve regretted the purchase, as I would’ve just gone straight for the 955 (which is current right now). However, if you find this watch for a nice price (like I did), it’s worth it… crummy buttons and all

 I’m an Ironman athlete, so I need a watch that will make it all the way thru a full IM race. I did a couple of fulls with my 935 with no issue – but when I began to watch battery life on this unit, I was doubtful whether it would make it thru a race – battery was dropping quickly, even with no GPS based activity. Then I remembered… I get a TON of notifications thru my phone, so that had my watch active a lot. I went into Garmin Connect and turned off ALL phone notifications, then just turned on the notifications for calls and texts (because that’s all I want to see on my watch)… and the battery life improved dramatically

ALMOST as good as it gets... almost...

  I do like it though.  I am glad I bought it.  It talks to my cell phone which talk to my ear buds which is cool.  i like having texts displayed

Not too bad

 I felt like the Fenix 5 Plus was a bit too large and the 5s Plus was a bit too small. The 945 is right in between and a perfect size for me. The battery life is also much better than my Fenix 5s Plus was. If you want the best smart watch on the market, get an apple/samsung watch with some fitness features

 As far a features go, this has all of the features as the Fenix 5x Plus (including a pulse oximeter, spotify, maps, etc) and even more new features including body battery, sleep pulse ox, etc. It also seems to be more responsive. I felt like the Fenix 5 Plus was a bit too large and the 5s Plus was a bit too small. The 945 is right in between and a perfect size for me

I had the Fenix 5s Plus, returned it and got this. It's much lighter, thinner, and the band is noticeably for comfortable (softer and more stretchy). The Fenix series are just bulky heavy and for some reason the bands are uncomfortable. That means the 945 is more comfortable to sleep with, run with, and wear throughout the day

Like it more than the Fenix 5s Plus

1 and anaerobic effect of 3.5. Translation? It was time to chill. Instead, I decided to go on a short 2

  So, who is the FR945 for? In short, the very serious athlete. If all you are interested in is daily activity tracking, sleep tracking and recording short runs or Zumba classes, get something in the sub $300 range. This watch is for the person who trains for rigorous events such as Spartan races, marathons, triathlons, ultras, serious cyclists, combat sports and so on. In other words, the person who, despite having a day job, thinks about their event for much of the day

 Or if you just want to splurge on a really nice sports watch, go for it. It’s no one’s business. But make no mistake about it. This watch is for serious, data-hungry athletes

 While I find it convenient to reject calls without pulling out my phone, the text and other iPhone alerts are just annoying. It would be more useful if I could customize text alerts to receive them only from a select group such as my wife and kids.  So, who is the FR945 for? In short, the very serious athlete.

The Garmin Coach?

  Getting addresses into it should be easy.  Instead I'm using a third party app to read notifications for turn by turn directions in Google on my phone.  Admittedly not a must have.

  It's easy to read.  It tracks a lot of good data too.  I love how well the notifications work.  What it does, it does well

Good, not eveything I wanted, but most of it
