Forerunner 945 availability on Garmin website

Former Member over 6 years ago

is there any insight as to when this will be available for purchase on the garmin site? It said 2-3 weeks then 1-3 days now 2-3 weeks again. I’m getting impatient but have to order through the site!

Plenty of reasons to get it directly through Garmin - no middle man to deal with if there's an issue, corporate fitness programs may require direct purchases, etc.

And I'm guessing this is why Garmin is stocking their own website last. If they can sell every watch that rolls off the line at full retail right now through other channels they will probably wait until…

Why do you have to order through the Garmin site? So many other retailers sell it - why wait!

I'd recommend getting the tri bundle and selling the extra items if you don't want them. It's back up to 2-3 weeks, but at least you can order it and get yourself in the queue. I did this last month - order took 2 weeks to arrive and I've had the watch now for 2 weeks, love it.

I'm sorry - are you suggesting that the solution to Garmin's mismanagement of their inventory is for me to buy something I definitely don't want (more HRMs) for more money than I'm willing to spend on the item that I do want, and then *hope* I can sell the parts I don't?

I just spent literally months trying to sell a great set of tires for $100. After multiple people low balled me, and then flaked out, I got so frustrated with the process that I ended up literally giving them away. I'm not about to take on being a 2nd hand retailer for Garmin because they can't get their act together.

It's been over three months since it was released and will likely be 4 before they get the watch back in stock, if not longer. Ridiculous.

It sounds to me like Garmik suggested an option. No where was it mentioned that it was a solution to what you feel is a mismanagement of inventory on Garmin's behave. I wouldn't be surprised if several people use this recommendation to get a 945 quicker. If you don't want to this, then don't. There's really no reason to "snap back" with your sob tire story.
