Light weight

I can wear it overnight without it becoming annoying allowing me to get an overnight HRV reading.

Leave the phone at home, no worries

I use the FR945LTE on every run and ride and leave my phone at home. I have the ability to get emergency help if needed and just enjoy the workout. No worries.

I want to love this watch, but it's hard...

First, the quality of the watch is not acceptable. I've received two replacement watches because the "light and down" buttons "stuck." After about six months, no matter how well I cleaned the watch, the buttons would stick making scrolling impossible. Garmin was quick to replace, but with each replacement watch there are issues with setting up the watch. Why can't Garmin figure out how to simplify the subscription transfer or the add credit card process? Currently waiting on an escalated tech request to get it fixed. Meanwhile, I'm paying for a monthly subscription for Assistance Plus with no access to the service.

Hiker/runner activist

I wanted to upgrade from the Garmin 265 to this 945 LTE and give my brother the 265. I brought it with me to Italy so I could test it out and worked wonderfully. All the buttons were easy to use and battery life was great! The GPS worked well and had my family track me!! I use it everyday and can’t wait to use without phone. At this time it’s kind of hard to leave phone at home! Lol.

So much functionality!

I bought this watch as a birthday present for myself, to facilitate my half marathon training. It replaced my old 630. I got this because I wanted a watch with a wrist sensor, that could store and play music, and has LTE based safety features so I can run without my phone. The watch has been perfect for this, and I find the built in diagnostics helpful in objective assessment of my efforts and recovery needs. The software can be a little finicky re: wifi, music downloading, and connecting to AirPods but there are some helpful YouTube tutorials where the instructions provided in the booklet and on the Garmin website seemed outdated or incorrect.

So far so good

Loved the functions and my use of it thus far about a month in. Mud from its first obstacle course run was an issue though the buttons could use a different design. They didn’t want to work for a couple of days after my Spartan race.

Watch has great features but poor reliability.

I'm on my 3rd Forerunner 945 LTE (Still under warranty). 1st watch at 3 months I removed from wrist at night and woke up with Garmin logo flashing in display. Talked with tech support who replaced with a reconditioned. 2nd watch lasted 1 day with same issue. I'm now on 3rd watch. After setup, this watch has done the same thing. Tech support says watch is stuck in boot mode. I would not recommend this watch.

Had to return

I was so excited to get my watch and after setting it up, I put it on the charger for the evening. When I woke up to go on my run I was welcomed by a green triangle and a watch that wouldn’t start. I tried a hard reset but then the watch wouldn’t connect to wifi and I’m frustrated and annoyed. Also it is Saturday so the help lines are not open. I will be returning the watch.
