When you are a seriously active athlete, you want to keep track of your metrics both in terms of output across all sports and effective recovery. That’s where a Garmin Forerunner 945 Smartwatch excels and will quickly become essential for your active lifestyle. If you have been a Garmin customer before, you probably have noticed that each new release builds a little on its predecessor and the FR945 is no different. And it manages to do this without inflating the price. So not only do you get all the usual metrics being tracked across a wide range of sports – including golf – you will have things like how well you are acclimatizing to temperature and altitude changes, as well as receive detailed metrics regarding what your training load and focus should be. It will also track how recovered, or not, you may be. Full-color onboard maps allow you to wander as far as you like, and still be on course. The FR945 will synch with your favorite music so you can always run with the right tunes. And the battery life has been improved to the point where you can use it in smartwatch GPS mode with music for up to 10 hours.
