Great training tool

Measurements of current pace can vary. Mile pace and average pace are very helpful. Used to train for a marathon and worked great for pace, distance and heart rate.

Great entry-level watch. Ran my first marathon with it. Great entry training plans included. Been using it for 3 plus years and have never had an issue!

Durable and Comfortable

I have had this watch for about 2 years. The battery life is great; I only charge it about once per week. I am not gentle with watches, and this one is no exception. I have smacked it on so many things and there are no signs of damage. It is easy to use and has all of the basic features that I need + more. I like that it is fairly slim as I am not a fan of chunky watches. I would highly recommend this product!

Used for cycling and running. Does well with sweat and light rain. Good, not great.

Good for multisport person

I have used my watch to tracking running, walking, hiking and biking. It is versatile and doesn't have the feel of a bulky watch. It didn't seem to track my hear rate when I was sweating a lot under the watch so that is a downfall. I would recommend this watch for someone who has started working out in the intermediate range of hiking and running.

Garmin Forerunner 45

Relative to Garmin's other models, the forerunner 45 is great option that won't break the bank. It's a work horse in that it's reliable under tough conditions while providing basic data fields for numerous activities.

2 years strong

I've been wearing this daily for 2 years and absolutely love it. One of my favorite features of all Garmin watches in the ability to completely customize the watch face with the information that matters to me the most.

Great running watch

Great running watch! Wish it had track running as an activity option (the higher up models do), as the distance is sometimes shorter or longer when running on a track, but otherwise great!
