Good overview, but I can't get the watch to show the time, or control the face. In other words, I cannot get to step One of your video. I have the forerunner 45 sync'd to my phone, but the buttons are so non-intuitive that I can't make any sense of the buttons.
The display is vibrant really? Do I have a different watch because I barely can see the display, I think it's a disaster, I didn't expect amoled or something for special but I really can't stand the display.
Very thorough review I am watching it right now. I have though never been able to get text messages to it and I have turned on all kinds of notifications and permissions. I don’t know what else to do. So it was kind of neat seeing it for the first time at 8:55 lol
I have a quick question. How far can the phone be away from the watch while you are using it. The watch is great on gps but when i went back to the normal watch mode, I was about 2 miles from home and I think it unsynced from my phone and then when I got back it automatically came back. Anyway best tutorial/ review out there dropped a like!! Thanks gauging gadgets!
Great review! but which one would you chose at the price range below 200$? the forerunner 45 or the Polar Ignite?? Or maybe, with a little more budget available, the Suunto 3?
@@GaugingGadgets Thank you..i also have a preference on Garmin products..The final battle will be between the 45 and the 245, which i found at 225 euros..
Just got the device. The gesture motion doesn’t seem to be working. How do I turn up the brightness on the normal screen it’s very hard to see without the backlight on
Thanks mate great presentation review. Keep up the awesome vids 👍 the only thing I noticed about this watch is the sleep tracking. It is not as detailed, it's does not display the tracking result on the phone like my garmin Instinct ....or am I going something wrong in the setup. Please help.
I’m not sure if I missed it scanning through the video, but what is the stopwatch like?! Does it show me the milliseconds?? This is the determining factor of me getting this watch!
Hi, I have a question... My watch recently broke on the band, which was under warranty and I got a new one. Customer service was excellent, by the way. Anyway, when I set up my new watch I think I missed something...on my previous watch I had it set so that at the end of each mile it would give me an audible time for my mile pace AND it would display my lap time on the watch face. Only now, it just verbally gives me my pace, but on the watch face it only says 1 mile. What can i try to fix this? I still love my watch, just can't seem to get it the way I had it before. Thanks!
when downloading the widget 'data lover' it said i may have battery loss when its running in the background, how severe would that be ?thank you and the video was very useful
I've been searching everywhere online but haven't been able to find an answer. If I pre-program an interval workout to have a certain pace or heart rate, will that pace or heart rate stay on screen during the interval itself, or will it just pop up as the interval begins? Many thanks!
Hi! In watching your video, I don't have any of the options after the widgets, my says calendar, and then last sport, but I do not have anything after that. Is something not synched?
I'm debating between the 45, 245, & 645?? I'm having to replace my old FR410 after 10 years and only because one side of my watch band tore and unable to secure it to my wrist any longer. . Any suggestions appreciated
Forerunner 45: on the default screen that shows time, date, heartrate, steps, other thing, can i put the weather? instead of the steps for example, would be perfect for me, if someone has the watch i'd love to hear, thanks
