  • Abstract:  Today Garmin announced the Forerunner 55 and 945 LTE. Last week I received a review unit of the 945 LTE so I was able to test it out on a few runs and walks with plans to continue testing out cycling, golf, and other activities as I work on the in-depth...

  • Ultimately, I came away more impressed than I expected to with the LTE features. Had Garmin continued down the path they did for the Vivoactive 3 LTE, this would have been a dumpster fire. But they didn't. They instead focused on an athlete-first solution...

  • Full GPS capabilities, Color maps, Alpine-specific features like PulseOx and ClimbPro, Music storage, Garmin Pay
  • No TOPO maps, Questionable durability, Not enough substantial upgrades
  • A premium GPS fitness watch designed for serious athletes, with a few overly-specialized features running up the price.All things considered, the Garmin Forerunner 945 does have a lot to offer as a powerful training and navigation tool for serious athlete...

  • Even longer battery life than previous models, New music and payment features, Similar features to Fenix 5x line but more affordable
  • Expensive
  • The Garmin Forerunner 945 is a nice, but pricey, iteration of the 900 series. At $600 (up $100 over the 935's cost), it's only $50 less expensive than the least expensive Fenix 5x Plus models, which contain identical features but boast higher battery life...

  • There's pretty much no question the Forerunner 945 will be my mainstay watch going forward. I've previously used the Forerunner 935 as my main running/tri watch, though I switched for a period last fall to the Fenix 5 Plus. However eventually I fell off t...

  • Loads of features, Strong battery life
  • You would need to study the manual
  • Long ago when living in Ireland I once ended up with American athletes training for their state championship. When going on runs with them I was able to keep up for only a short while before having to slack off and go along my own pace. Using the Garmin 9...

  • Umfangreiche Funktionen für viele Sportarten, Exzellente Ausstattung, Hohe Genauigkeit
  • Keine optische Pulsmessung im Wasser, Kein Touch-Screen, Hoher Preis
  • Die Garmin Forerunner 945 erweist sich im Test als Pulsuhr der Spitzenklasse. Dem Edel-Modell kann in Hinsicht auf Funktionsumfang und Ausstattung derzeit kein Konkurrent das Wasser reichen. Und auch die Ergonomie und die Genauigkeit der Sportuhr sind fas...

  • Localizzazione GPS e rilevamento frequenza cardiaca molto precisi, Utili mappe a colori, Eccellente autonomia
  • Costoso, Monitoraggio del nuoto approssimativo, Design spartano
  • Garmin Forerunner 945 offre tutto ciò di cui un professionista della corsa dovrebbe aver bisogno e molto altro. Probabilmente non utilizzerete mai tutte le funzioni, ma se la corsa è il vostro obiettivo e vi state allenando ad alto livello, allora questo...
