Garmin has introduced the Forerunner 945 LTE on Global Running Day 2021. It is the company’s first Forerunner model supporting LTE. Contrary to previous assumptions Garmin does not support eSIM, but offers carrier independent monthly or annual plan by themselves. LTE does not only bring a couple of new functions but independence from a paired smartphone.<\/p>\n

Concerning the design Garmin sticks to the classical Forerunner design, which sports five buttons placed around the display. <\/p>\n

However, Garmin has managed to reduce the watch’s dimensions to 44.4 x 44.4 x 13.9 mm, while the 1.2″ transflective colour display remains the same at 240 x 240 pixels resolution. <\/p>\n

The display is protected by Gorilla Glass DX and as such no different to the Forerunner 945. The same account for the weight which is 49 grams for the LTE model and 50 grams for the predecessor.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the Quickfit mechanism the 22 mm wristband is interchangable.<\/p>\n
