I bought the watch according to the dTest reviews and I don't regret it - for me it has probably the best price/performance ratio on the market. I have tried cycling, running, walking, swimming and sleeping with them and they handle everything perfectly. All activities can be tracked on both your phone and computer in a fairly sophisticated app, where all movement statistics are available, including GPS tracks (built right into the watch), heart rate, steps, etc. Somehow the app also estimates calories burned, stress index, body battery, VO2_max etc. The number of steps, distance covered and heart rate are measured very accurately in my opinion, a little bit with a question mark is the length of sleep, which in my opinion should be taken as an indication, because sometimes it cannot distinguish when I am asleep and when I am just lying down. Connect to your phone for calls, SMS messages, etc. I don't use it, so I don't rate it. You can download an app to the watch that lets you change the look of the face and a bunch of other things I haven't even discovered yet. So it occurs to me that the primary function of the watch - i.e. time display, event. timer, tracks and alarm - are actually a bit secondary in my watch.
Built-in GPS and very accurate measurement of location, number of steps, distance traveled, heart rate.
Smart mobile and desktop app to track all your stats (physical activity, steps, sleep, heart rate, stress index and more)
Option to set a different display appearance via the app
After wearing it for a few days straight, a rash appeared on my wrist
They don't have some of the additional features that more expensive watches have, such as. oximeter, temperature readings, payments. - I'd have to pay extra for those, but I wouldn't use them much
In normal use I have to charge them every 7 to 10 days, which is slightly more often than the announced "maximum endurance"
Sufficiently accurate GPS and wrist heart rate recording
Battery life around 5 hours with GPS on - OK for me, but probably not enough for ultramarathons
For me, the perfect watch for running and cycling, I don't need more features. There have been a few minor tweaks since the last version (Forerunner 45), but otherwise everything works much the same, i.e. Good.
GPS sometimes takes quite a long time to find the starting position
I' m a little disappointed with this watch, maybe I made the wrong choice. They have a lot of functions fine, but what really bothers me is the very insufficient brightness of the display even though I have it set to 100%
battery life, lots of features
Very weak display brightness even though it is set to 100%
Second experience with a Garmin watch. Again, they sit perfectly on the hand, they are not felt in any way. Compared to the previous fr35, they have soaked sports functions, I don' t even understand everything. Finally, they also have a stopwatch and a timer. The alarm clock can also be set from the application. But - the display is a tragedy, I can' t read anything, the colors are washed out, the font is tiny and lacks contrast, if they had kept the black and white display from the fr35 and the same font, great, the case is also 42 mm in diameter, but the display is only 25 mm. There are a lot of dials from the store, but two are usable, or paid for. The strap is short again, my wrist is 21 cm, the buckle is somewhere on the side of my hand plus the last hole, I don' t understand, I don' t have a big hand. otherwise it is of the 20 mm quick release type. I didn' t want to wear glasses because of the watch, I returned it, too bad, I really liked it.
Design, weight, great to wear, lots of running information

I’m writing this review as someone who is currently on their third watch of this model (not because I like them so much, but because I’ve already had to return them twice): ) ). To begin with, I’m not an active sportsman and I tend to use them simply as a watch. On the positive side, although the watch is made of plastic and therefore doesn’t look particularly upmarket, this has its advantages, particularly in terms of price and weight – it’s reasonably priced and pleasantly light. The battery lasts so long that you don’t have to worry about charging it, unlike with ‘smarter’ watches (Apple Watch, etc.). I also find the controls quite user-friendly; even though they’re operated solely by buttons, I’m already used to them from my Casio watches. If it weren’t for the high failure rate, I’d actually recommend them to everyone, because they have a transflective display (which, in my opinion, is 100 times better to use than OLED) and excellent battery life at a reasonable price, with some great features. The downside, however, is that for the first few hours, the system kept thinking it had a new update even though there wasn’t one; this was resolved by making a complaint. I made a complaint about the second watch because, after about a year’s use – during which I’d had no problems with the battery life – it suddenly stopped working. I’ve received my third watch, and I’ve noticed that even though I don’t want the backlight to turn on when I press any button other than ‘Light’, the light turns on anyway when I swipe across the heart rate widget. According to the internet, this is a problem that’s been around for two years, for which no update has yet been released, despite the fact that Garmin is aware of it, and their only solution has simply been to send people a new unit (watch no. 4?: ) ).
