  • Heart-rate iffy for high-intensity training,Expensive,Connect IQ Store still flaky
  • On the surface, the Garmin Forerunner 945 may seem like a modest upgrade over the 935. But look deeper and you'll find a watch that has improved in so many departments to make it another formidable sports watch.There's the addition of maps, music if you w...

  • Very accurate GPS and heart rate, Useful full-color maps, Superb battery life
  • Expensive, Iffy swim tracking, Rugged design
  • The Garmin Forerunner 945 is in many ways the ultimate runner's watch. The question you have to ask yourself is just whether you really need the 'ultimate', especially when it's not as well-rounded as some alternatives.Swim tracking is iffy, its smartwatc...

  • Unparalleled tracking and training feedback, Full-colour maps with on-the-go routing, Music storage and Spotify support
  • Expensive, Plastic casing not as smart as metal
  • But that's a very small complaint about a watch that otherwise delivers so emphatically. To be clear, The Forerunner 945 is currently the best sports watch in Garmin's brilliant line-up. It offers all of the smarts of the Fenix 5 Plus range but with bette...

  • Lacks high grade look of Fenix, Expensive, HR accuracy not up to chest strap accuracy, Extra running metrics require footpod
  • For our money, the Forerunner 945 is the best watch in Garmin's superb line-up. The lightweight design is slimmer and more comfortable than the bulky Fenix 5 Plus, and yet crams in more features, including the impressive training load analysis. It's expen...

  • Same low-quality display, Hard to get the hang of, Pricey
  • The Forerunner 945 might be lighter and slimmer than Garmin's top-end Fenix 5 Plus, but it certainly packs a comparable punch when it comes to a fitness feature set. In true Forerunner style, battery life is impressive and will see you literally running...
