Garmin Forerunner 45 / 45S GPS Running Watch

With the Forerunner 45 and the Forerunner 45S GPS heart rate monitor, Garmin offers a high-performance watch for ambitious beginners as well as for advanced athletes, who are looking for high-quality equipment. It is only with the right gear that motivation and training progress remain on a high level – right from the start!

As a successor of the Forerunner 35, the FR45 with its round design was adapted to the noble look of the more high-grade Forerunner models and comes of course with all important running features, such as distance, pace, intervals and VO2max estimate. Thanks to Elevate™ technology, your heart rate is measured directly at your wrist, which means you don’t need a separate chest strap.
Experienced runners as well as beginners often need support for achieving their goals. That’s why, the small training computer at your forearm is compatible with free Garmin Coach™ training plans via Garmin Connect™. These plans can be directly synchronised with the watch and offer instructions from experienced trainers who adapt to you and your aims. As part of the training plan, you can even create a competition prognosis.

Moreover, even though the Forerunner 45 /45S is an entry-level model, it offers many extra features, such as GPS, GLONASS and Galileo compatibility, a 24/7 activity tracker incl. sleep monitoring, as well as smartwatch features such as smart notifications and weather data from the smartphone and even automatic emergency messages.
