Garmin Forerunner 45

Advantages: Inexpensive Well defined heart rate Perfectly synchronized with the phone Sleep monitoring, VO max, training plan.

Disadvantages: Well, if you find fault: Not very capacious battery No NFC

Comment: I was glad that it was not necessary to tighten the bracelet too much to read the heart rate; the watch in any position fits quite tightly to the hand and during the experiment with different degrees of tightening of the bracelet, no difference in the readings was revealed. I did not use it under extreme conditions, but under normal conditions the readings are very similar to the truth. The stress meter reacts, apparently, primarily to the degree of physical fatigue, since personally, my maximum stress indicators were recorded late in the evening, after a strong lack of sleep the previous night or after a whole day without food. The Body Battery seems to just count how long you don't strain and gradually increases the indicator. So after a sleepless night and training, I lay then for three hours stupid on the TV and, according to subjective sensations, I did not add a drop of vigor, and the clock showed an increase of 10 points. The battery lasts a maximum of a week, but this is without GPS and provided that you do not actively poke around in the menu. The glass does not look durable, but so far there are no scratches on it, despite the fact that I have applied them well at least twice. Notifications come, including SMS and WhatsApp, even with emoticons.

Advantages: 1. Appearance; 2. Convenience of wearing and control; 3. Transflective Always On display; 4. Accurate GPS receiver.

Disadvantages: 1. Periodically reboot when switching widgets (weather / steps / notifications / heart rate); 2. The previously configured order of widgets constantly flies; 3. Occasionally lose connection with iPhone.
