I found what I think is a forerunner 45 on the side of the trail. Does anyone know if there is a way to find the name of the owner from the watch itself so I might track them down and return it?

My guess is that it is a privacy thing. Garmin doesn't want to take part in making users use other peoples data. I'm a bit more pragmatic :-)
You could extract the FIT files from the watch and check start and stop locations. If the user starts and stops at home you can find the house of the owner. If it is an apartment house it might be more…
Bingo! That worked. It's funny that the official Garmin response was that they won't assist in identifying device owners.
