Garmin 45, 245 and 945

[Jehosefat]

I got my 945 from Wiggle and used Aramex Global Shopper to get it here. Shipping, clearing, duties and taxes were about R800.

I didn't look at the breakdown, although given the value that was probably just VAT and not duties.

Gees when was that, cause Wiggle doesnt have a single Garmin watch listed on their site now.

About 2 months ago.

 

They have plenty, you just need to set your delivery destination to the UK. Hence why I used Aramex Global Shopper to get it here.

Sportsmans Warehouse has had the 45 and 245 for a while already.

 

But it is quite a bit cheaper to import from Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.com. They actually give you a total price including delivery and import fees.

I have been waiting since May for the 945, want to buy it with Vitality so I have to get it form Sportsmans or Total Sport. When I emailed customer support they said mid July, then when it didn't come out then they said late July, and now they have stopped responding. Really looking forward to the upgrade.

Update: They have replied that they are expecting to release the 945 in September.

The entire tariff heading for watches (chapter 91) is free of duties.

Anyone know where in ZA I can get a screen protector for the 945 (not for the 935 - they're NOT exactly the same size)?

According to specs the display size is the same as the 935 @ 30.4mm (1.2"), scroll down to comparison chart https://the5krunner.com/2019/06/01/garmin-945-forerunner-specs-comparison-to-935-marq-athlete/

 

735XT is slightly bugger at 31.1mm (1.23") https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/541225#specs

I've read quite a few reviews where people bought (or were sold) the 935 covers, and they don't fit 100% because of differences in the beveling or whatever - so will rather be going for a proper 945 protector.  Easybike will be getting some next week.

What about Easybike, their prices should be better.

 

Edit: sorry they only have 935 at good prices.
