Buying a refurbished GPS running watch like this is just a smart way to get your kilometres tracked without paying full price, and a light-use Forerunner is one of the easier gadgets to buy secondhand with confidence.
The honest bit first. This unit has light scratches on the screen and casing, plus some minor signs of previous wear on the straps. None of it affects how the watch works, it's just normal use showing through.
Screen: Light scratches are visible but the display remains clear and fully readable.
Casing: Light scratches on the casing, with minor wear visible on the straps from previous use.
Functions: Tested across its system functions and confirmed to be in good working order.
Overall: A watch that shows normal wear on the outside but works exactly as it should.
Warranty: Covered for 12 full months against faults, not accidental damage. If it stops working as it should, we sort it out. Warranty does not cover liquid damage.
In the box: Garmin Forerunner 45, generic charger and USB cable.

There is only one, and it might be in someone else's cart right now. A cart does not hold it, checking out does. The first person to check out claims it, and we then hold it just for them for 2 hours to pay. Settle within that window and it is yours. Let it lapse and it goes back up for whoever is next in line. Pay before 13:00 on a weekday (not Friday) and it is packed and dispatched the same day.
Door to door, anywhere in South Africa. Every device is local stock, sent via The Courier Guy with a tracking number the moment it leaves us. No imports, no customs queue, no waiting weeks for a parcel from overseas.
The price you see is the price you pay. Because it ships from right here, there are no surprise VAT bills or import duties landing after checkout, the kind that catch people out when they buy refurbished from abroad. What you pay is the whole story.
