Forerunner 45 - Can I use the watch whiling it is recharging?

Former Member over 5 years ago

Hi Runner!

I'm thinking about to buy a FR45, but there is something I really need to know before buy it. Can I use the watch whiling it is recharging?

I run Ultramarathon, and any Trail Race from 50 miles already takes 15h or more. I need to take a power bank with me to recharge the watch during the race and I need it keep tacking the distance, time etc

I know that some models allow to do it, but I'm not sure about the FR45 in special.

Thank you,

Iago

You can record activities while charging, but you can't wear the watch with the charging plug in place.

DCRainmaker had a review of a charger that allows you to wear the watch while charging:
