Easy to see
I have only had this for a day or two. I really like the face for ease of seeing. I'm 58 and have trouble with some devices if the light isn't right. I look forward to learning about all the things you can do with this. Way more than I will ever use.

Ordered a Garmin 45s got a 45. Pretty sure this item was refurbished because it came in a bag not a Garmin box.

    I would buy this product again! #sweepstakes
    What a great product for a great price. I contemplated a new watch from a competitive brand, but this watch is great for all aspects of my daily life. I feel like it is benefitting me mentally and physically, and it has increased my discipline to get steps, hydration, sleep, and daily exercise. #sweepstakes

    Refurb better than Forerunner 35, less battery life than new
    Great cosmetic and functioning shape, but only 4-5 days battery life as a refurb versus 5-7 days advertised for new. Compared to my previous entry-level Forerunner 35, the 45 acquires GPS signal quicker (1-5 seconds versus 15-300 seconds), tracks location better (especially at the start of a run, eg doesn't say I ran a 4-minute-mile in a circle for the first 10 seconds of a run), and provides more insight (eg sleep tracking, stress / body battery). It's not perfect as the sleep tracking fails, ie "unmeasurable", for 30 minutes every night at random times unrelated to waking up or getting up, so it underestimates sleep by 30 minutes. It also poorly distinguishes between sleeping and simply lying in bed, so if you wake up 30 minutes early and lie in bed before getting up, then it counts that as sleep and overestimates your sleep by 30 minutes (requiring you to remember when you actually woke up and manually edit your sleep end time). #sweepstakes

    Better than Forerunner 35, but less battery life than new
    It's refurbished, so while it's in perfect cosmetic and functional shape, it only gets 4-5 days per charge instead of advertised 5-7 days when new. Great improvement over entry-level Garmin Forerunner 35. Acquires GPS signal in 1-5 seconds (versus 10-300 seconds), determines speed, distance, and location better at the start of a run (versus saying you ran in a circle at a 4-minute-mile pace for the first 10 seconds), and has sleep tracking (though far from perfect) and "body battery" / stress tracking (to keep your energy up throughout the day and have enough energy for a run in the evening). Sleep tracking isn't perfect: it says sleep was "unmeasurable" for 30 minutes every night at random times unrelated to waking up / getting up (so it underestimates your sleep by 30 minutes) and it doesn't always track when you wake up (and thinks you are still sleeping when you lie in bed for 30 minutes trying to fall back asleep before getting up, so it overestimates your sleep by 30 minutes), requiring me to remember when I woke up and manually edit my sleep end time. But as the refurb 45 cost the same as I paid for my 35 new, I think it's a good deal (ie improved accuracy and more insight for less battery life). #sweepstakes

    Appropriate smartwatch/sportwatch for now, battery not great
    Got this refurbished Forerunner to temporarily replace my Garmin Vivoactive HR which unfortunately broke recently. I do like the style of this smartwatch, and it fulfills almost all the features I had from my previous Garmin, so I'd say I'm relatively happy with my purchase. There are some scratches on the screen, but I knew the risk of getting a refurbished one. The real downside for me is, the battery usually doesn't last even a week, while my Vivoactive was good for several weeks at a time, so I need to keep the charging cable close. #sweepstakes

    Nice for the price
    I bought this some time ago. It is a good GPS watch for the price. I do a lot of walking and like to focus on speed and distance. Does it very well. Notifications are good as well.

    Refurbished
    I believe I was sent a refurbished watch , it was the Pharmapack that it came from. Buyer beware, they send you used stuff. Not a good marketing Walmart, should say used

    Not suitable for me.
    In my opinion I find it old fashioned with overpriced. LCD display with dull graphic and hard to operate with multiple keys on sides. I'd get touchscreen smartwatch for less than this. Features might be OK like GPS, etc but I got it from gts2 mini too for less.
