GarminForerunner 45(Return to Product Page)

After breaking several Apple Watches over the years I switch to Garmin. Not only is the durability superior, I like the simplicity and price. Really the only feature I have found in smart watched that I use is the ability to see my texts and notifications on my wrist without digging my phone out of my pocket. All the other features really do matter to me. This watch has gps features but I don't use them. The battery life blows the Apple into the weeds. I get a few days out of it without any problem. It looks fine and doesn't weigh a lot. It's exactly what I wanted and probably a little more.

Use biking and hiking. Easy to use, set and forget. Does take time to acquire signals.
