I Use My Garmin Forerunner Every Day. Here’s Why You Should Too – CNET [CNET]
The battery on my Garmin is pretty good, considering that I charge it only once a week. Or if I forget, I charge it during downtime, such as when I’m sitting at my desk. A few minutes of charging here and there keeps it alive. That way, I don’t have to charge it at night since I like to record my sleep data. My Garmin records my light, deep and REM sleep each night, in addition to the total amount of time I spend asleep and awake. It’s this data that made me realize last year that I wasn’t getting enough deep sleep.

I also like that I receive all my texts and notifications — like emails or Slack messages — right on my Garmin. While I can’t reply or make calls from the watch, I like that I can feel up to date on things, even when I don’t have my phone in my hand.
On Garmin’s website, the Forerunner 45S is going for $200. However, on right now on Amazon, you can find it for over $40 less.
