Garmin Forerunner 45 Review - All features with full details

In-depth review of Garmin entry-level Forerunner 45 running watch after using two weeks. Full features included. The most-detailed video of Garmin Forerunner 45 you can find on TH-cam. English subtitle is available.
I will talk about everything you need to know before purchasing this watch. It's affordable, and provides detailed date for your activities. However, it's missing features such as Music and Garmin Pay.
Should you spend your money on Garmin Forerunner 45, or go for the Garmin Forerunner 55, 245, 645 or 945?

I did a bike ride today using my bike computer (speed/cadence sensors) and the F45 (GPS). The resulting measurements were very close. Then I did a run using the F45. Very convenient and easy to use.

Finally a video that walks us through the buttons and how to select and change! Thank you.

Thanks so much for doing this! I've never had a Garmin watch and the manual sucks! I so appreciate you putting in the time to help us newbies!

Thank you so much for your video!! :D I wanted the cycling data screen to show speed and it was automatically on pace. I couldn't figure it out, even with contacting Garmin through chat. My Forerunner 35 showed speed for cycling...it was bothering me so much why my newer watch didn't show the speed data. All I knew was I was cycling faster than I would be running...which is good....lol. Thank you for your video. Looking forward to my next ride!

Très bien expliqué , surtout concernant les réglages de mise en route. Un grand merci.

[@ravingcyclist624]

Excellent detail. Thanks! I think you provided more information than DC Rainmaker did.

One buys the watch to see the running stats, after 20 minutes of talk on features there's no mention on it 😭

Good review Gua. Any new upgrade to Garmin watches or are you still using the Forerunner 45?

[@GuaYoutube]

Garmin released Forerunner 55, that's a nice upgrade from the 45

I guess I accidentally discarded my run that is part of a coaching thing cause it isn't showing on my phone and I don't want the program to change my future workouts : ( so is there a way to manually indicate I did the run and put it into the data?

Hi, thanks for the video. Ive recently bought this watch and am still getting used to all the buttons. I have a question: When I go for a run, how do I see how far I have run ( miles or kilometers)? I.e As I'm running I want to see both how long i've run for ( timer) and also how far i have run ( distance). How do I get both showing on the face of the watch. Thanks

You can set it up at the watch or on your Garmin mobile app. There's an options for selecting which data you want to have on your screen during activities. Due to the screen size it doesn't show all datas but you are able to select distance and timer

hi, i do NOT want all my texts to come through my watch - how do i turn that off? (great video, thank you!)

[@GuaYoutube]

Try to find notifications setting and turn it off

Hi, it's a good Watch for fitness? Or only running? Thanks

[@GuaYoutube]

It's also good for other activities such as cycling
