Maximize Your Performance

Forerunner 945 tracks your performance and provides personalized insights into your results so you can train smarter, not harder. The smartwatch monitors your maximum VO2 and adjusts it based on temperature and altitude. Training status evaluates your recent workouts and performance indicators to show whether you're training productively, peaking, or overreaching. Learn how exercise impacts your endurance, speed, and strength with data on aerobic and anaerobic exercise effect. Recovery time predicts when you'll be ready for your next big challenge, allowing you to make the most of the energy you invest in training. You can even see your total training load, which measures exercise volume over the last 7 days and compares it to the optimal volume range for your fitness level and recent workouts. Training load focus, a new feature of the Forerunner 945 watch, categorizes your recent workouts by their structure and intensity.

Convenient Payment

The GPS smartwatch Forerunner 945 is equipped with Garmin Pay², allowing you to make payments with the watch when shopping. You can use it at all locations that support contactless card payments. You can now leave your wallet at home and still enjoy a post-run coffee with milk. Just touch it and go.

Maps on Your Wrist

Whether you're running on city streets or cycling on forest trails, Forerunner 945 comes with built-in maps to keep you on the right path. Preloaded color maps and map data optimized for one-glance navigation and location tracking. The device is also equipped with Trendline™ feature for route determination based on popularity, helping you find and follow the best routes and paths using Garmin Connect™ data on billions of kilometers.

Stay Connected and Be Safe

With Forerunner 945, you can go for a workout while staying connected. When paired with a compatible smartphone, you'll be able to receive text messages, see social media updates, emails, and more directly on your wrist. Safety and tracking features allow you to manually or automatically share your location with selected contacts using the incident detection feature.

Track More Than Ever Before

You'll be amazed at what a lightweight watch like Forerunner 945 can track. The watch can receive signals from multiple satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo), providing better coverage in demanding environments compared to GPS alone. It also features wrist-based heart rate monitoring⁴ and wrist-based pulse oximeter^{5 for tracking blood oxygen saturation levels, enabling advanced sleep tracking and altitude acclimatization.}

Workouts and Training Plans

Whether you're training for a marathon or a longer race, you can create custom workouts or download free ones that sync directly to your watch. Forerunner 945 also supports the Garmin Coach feature for adaptive training plans. These plans provide expert coaching tips and free training plans that adapt to you and your goals. With their help, you'll surely achieve your goal. This feature, as part of the training plan, can even help you predict your race time.

Analyze Your Running Form

The GPS smartwatch Forerunner 945 is equipped with tools to improve your running form. The watch measures key running metrics such as cadence, stride length, ground contact time, ground contact time balance, vertical oscillation, and vertical ratio. These measurements are critical for understanding your fitness and maximizing your potential during every run and race. Forerunner 945 can track these metrics using an additional heart rate monitor strap or the compact Running Dynamics Pod, a sensor that easily attaches to your waistband.

Running, Sprinting, Swimming, Cycling, Triathlon

Transitioning between activities is easy thanks to the built-in activity profiles for running (indoor and outdoor), cycling (indoor and outdoor), swimming (pool and open water), cross-country skiing, rowing, trail running, and many other activities. Forerunner 945 even has an automatic multisport feature that allows you to switch sports with a single button press during combined workouts and duathlon/triathlon races.

A Few More Additions

It tracks your activities throughout the day, recording step count and calories burned, and offers advanced sleep tracking. Forerunner 945 is compatible with Connect IQ™ store where you can download free apps, widgets, and data fields, providing you with limitless customization options. Try the Running Power app, which allows you to track your running power in real-time and post-run.

Menstrual Cycle Tracking

With the menstrual cycle tracking feature in the Garmin Connect™ app, you'll gain a better understanding of your body. Use it to track your cycle, monitor physical and emotional symptoms, and enter personal notes. The feature will provide advice on training and nutrition during each phase of your cycle.
