Garmin Forerunner 45 Plus
Looks like there is a Garmin Forerunner 45 Plus coming out in the very near future as Garmin is already teasing with the video below and some select retailers are already listing it. The Forerunner 45 Plus includes the basics like GPS, Garmin’s adaptive training, recovery time, race predictor (new!), and the latest Garmin Elevate HR sensor. Smart notifications are still onboard as is the incident detection.
I’m not entirely sure what’s new other than the RACE PREDICTOR & RECOVERY. Remember that RACE PREDICTOR is one of the Firstbeat features that was used to replaced Garmin’s original race predictor and I found it to be reasonably accurate.
The Garmin Forerunner 45 Plus is coming in at an rrp of GBP140, if you can wait for a little while longer there might be something interesting and non-Garmin coming with vastly more features for just a little extra.

Or maybe you right? The bottom of the overview page and the specs page seem to contradict each other.
Taken from the overview page: “Download custom watch faces, add data fields, and get apps and widgets from the Connect IQ Store.”
Maybe Garmin read the following and added in full app store support 😉 “It’s coming in at an rrp of GBP140, if you can wait for a little while longer there might be something interesting and non-Garmin coming with vastly more features for just a little extra.”
So Garmin is going to take advantage of it’s acquisition of Firstbeat by releasing Plus versions with a couple of additional Firstbeat metrics instead of releasing them as software updates?
Also, the release was probably derailed due to the ransomware hack.
yeah the info is all above, i think garmin may have scheduled a release adn then forgot to unschedule it during the ransom attack.
