The Garmin 010-02156-05 Forerunner is an exceptional sports watch that has greatly enhanced my fitness tracking and training experience. This watch offers an array of features that are perfect for athletes and fitness enthusiasts.
Firstly, the GPS tracking on the Forerunner is incredibly accurate. Whether I'm running, cycling, or hiking, the watch consistently provides precise distance, pace, and route information. This allows me to track my progress and set specific goals for each workout. The built-in heart rate monitor is also highly accurate and provides real-time heart rate data, helping me optimize my training and monitor my overall fitness level.
The Forerunner's battery life is impressive. Even with continuous GPS and heart rate monitoring, the battery lasts for several days on a single charge. This is especially beneficial for long-distance runners or multi-day outdoor adventures. The watch also charges quickly, which is convenient for those moments when you need a quick power boost before heading out.
The watch's design is sleek and comfortable to wear. The display is easy to read, even in direct sunlight, and the touchscreen is responsive and user-friendly. The watch is also water-resistant, making it suitable for swimming or other water-based activities.
The Forerunner offers a wide range of activity tracking features. It accurately counts steps, tracks sleep patterns, and even provides advanced metrics such as VO2 max and training load. The watch also offers smart notifications, allowing me to receive calls, texts, and other alerts directly on my wrist, without needing to pull out my phone.
One of the standout features of the Forerunner is the Garmin Connect app. This app seamlessly syncs with the watch, allowing me to review and analyze my workouts, set goals, and compete with friends. The app provides detailed insights into my training progress, helping me make informed decisions about my workouts and overall fitness journey.

Whether you're a casual runner or a professional athlete, this watch will undoubtedly elevate your training and help you achieve your fitness goals.
Original review:
I'm not a runner. I'm a walker with health issues, so I wanted something to track activity, training walks, sleep, etc. I left Fitbit (after owning almost every device since the original), as I got tired of not being able to share my Fitbit data with Apple Health and other health/fitness apps. Even though Fitbit advertises the ability to share data with Withings, One Drop, Cardiogram, etc., data doesn't import consistently, accurately or completely. Anyway, the Apple watch series 4 didn't work for me, as I had to charge it every night. So I started looking at the new Garmin devices.
I did own a Forerunner 235 briefly a couple years ago, but it was so big on my small wrist and way overkill for my needs that I moved it along. I picked up the new Vivosmart 4, and it's a nice, small device that tracks steps accurately, but it has no GPS (or even connected GPS). It does have fantastic sleep tracking with an SpO2 sensor! Next I tried the Forerunner 45s. Unfortunately it doesn't use the SpO2 sensor, so there's no pulse ox.
I've always preferred black or grey watches, so my choice of white or what looks like purple (in the pics) but is actually blue, was disappointing. I debated about getting the larger 45, but in the end I decided on white. It's nice looking, and the white silicone strap cleans up well in warm water and a mild facial cleanser. It's got everything I want except the SpO2 sensor that Vivosmart 4, Forerunner 245 and up have. Currently I'm wearing the Vivosmart 4 for sleep and the Forerunner 45s for daily wear and workouts.
I was hesitant to buy the 45s after reading about connectivity issues. I had those issues too at first. It was extremely frustrating downloading the firmware update when the watch wouldn't stay connected to my phone. But once I got the firmware updated, the watch has stayed connected without issue (iPhone Xs). It's the original firmware that's the problem, not the watch!
The one thing that does really bug me (and that Garmin will likely fix in future updates) is that even when I turn notifications off, I still get ALL notifications sent to my phone! The 45s has a choice of all notifications, calls and texts, calls or off. Further, notifications have to be cleared individually. I can find no "clear all" option. I finally got rid of notifications by removing the notifications widget. I would really like to get just calls and texts. I just updated to firmware 2.60 that installed quickly. Let's hope this fixes the notifications issue!
I've done one walk, and the 45s worked great. I just paired my Rhythm+ heart rate monitor, so I'll try that on my next walk. I'll expand this review as I use the 45s.
Top reviews from other countries
The battery life is excellent and it can go for a number of days without recharging. However, one of the minor issues I have with this watch over the 35 is that I have to take it off to charge it as the charger plugs into the back. With the 35, the charger kind of clipped on the side so I could continue wearing it while charging. I typically charged it when working by simply plugging it into my laptop.
The Forerunner 45 was also easy to pair with my phone and gives me notifications for emails, texts, incoming calls, etc. However, I do find the display on this watch a bit harder to read than the 35. There is more info to see and the text is smaller on this watch. But, I am on the older side, so any younger users with better eyesight may not have any issues with this.
Overall, this is an excellent, basic, fitness and smart watch. And with the built in GPS at this price level, it can't be beat.
Recomendo o produto e estou muito satisfeita com o produto.
Comprei com uma expectativa visto que havia apenas o garmin Forenunner 35, mas sinceramente tem muito mais opções do que eu esperava, sem contar que a impressão é de uma melhor precisão.
Se quiserem comprar um para início de atividade monitorada, super recomendo.
