Picking up a Garmin Forerunner 45 secondhand is a smart way to get proper GPS running features without paying full price, especially when the unit has clearly been looked after.
The honest bit first. There are faint markings on the screen visible on close inspection, and the casing shows minor signs of previous use, both normal for a watch that has actually been worn and run in, and both reflected in the price.
Screen: Faint markings visible upon close inspection, but overall still in great condition.
Casing: Minor signs of previous use visible, but overall still in good condition.
Battery: Health is at 90%.
Functions: Fully tested across its system functions and confirmed to be in perfect working order.
Overall: A fully functional GPS running watch with normal, honest signs of use.
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: Generic charging cable. No original box.

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.
