According to the product specialist
Pros
| The built-in Garmin ELEVATE optical heart rate monitor measures your heart rate 24/7 and gives you insight into your health and performance through the Garmin Connect App. |
| The powerful GPS receiver for GPS, GLONASS and GALILEO satellites ensures that you have good GPS reception even when outdoors and mountainous terrain. |
| Your personal Garmin Coach draws up training plans for you, based on your current level and goals. |
| The powerful battery allows you to use the watch for almost a week without recharging. |
| The different dials and colour options make it easy to adapt the watch to fit your own style. |
| The smart watch tracks your heart rate, recovery, training and other data 24/7 and gives you personal advice based on it. |
| The sleek and slim design allows you to wear the watch 24/7. |
| GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and QZSS satellite connections for accurate workout tracking data to analyse afterwards. |
| Pre-installed sport profiles such as cycling, running and swimming. Expandable via Polar Flow with more than 130 sport profiles. |
Cons
| An optical heart rate monitor is generally a little less accurate during intensive interval training than a heart rate monitor. |
| It is not possible to pair ANT+ or Bluetooth sensors, such as a speed or cadence sensors from your bike. |
| If you have a large wrist circumference, the Forerunner 45S may be too small. In that case, go for the Forerunner 45. |
| You can read smartphone messages on your watch but are unable to reply. |
| No in-built music storage, so you'll need carry along your smartphone to play music. |
