laps / performance) from time to time to friends and family. Live Event Sharing is a modified form of LiveTracking as it will send your imformation (e.g. The extent to which these messages are motivating and supportive depends on each individually. Spectator Messages is another LTE-based feature allowing for receiving messages fom friends and family. Beyond sending messages to your personal contacts, the IERCC can inform emergency forces on site. Again, using the Forerunner 945 LTE for a call is not possible. The IERCC is a 24/7 staffed coordination center that can be reached with the Forerunner 945 LTE by sending a them an emergency message. Garmin IERCC takes Incident Detection one step further. Thanks to LTE, there is no need for a smartphone. With LiveTrack and during activities your current location can be shared with others – but only if a paired smartphone is available.
Incident detection is triggered automatically in the event of serious falls, but can also be started manually in situations where appropriate. It does so by sending messages – it does not support calls. The LTE support brings some new features to the Forerunner 945 LTE and decouples some others from the need for a paired smartphone:īased on the Incident Detection, which Garmin introduced in 2019, the Forerunner 945 LTE can inform contacts stored on the watch in case of an emergency. Thanks to the Quickfit mechanism the 22 mm wristband is interchangable. The same account for the weight which is 49 grams for the LTE model and 50 grams for the predecessor. The display is protected by Gorilla Glass DX and as such no different to the Forerunner 945. 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. LTE does not only bring a couple of new functions but independence from a paired smartphone.Ĭoncerning the design Garmin sticks to the classical Forerunner design, which sports five buttons placed around the display. Contrary to previous assumptions Garmin does not support eSIM, but offers carrier independent monthly or annual plan by themselves. It is the company’s first Forerunner model supporting LTE. Garmin has introduced the Forerunner 945 LTE on Global Running Day 2021.
