New Delhi, Aug 2 (IANS) Refreshing its flagship 'Forerunner' series, US-based wearable major Garmin on Friday launched its "Forerunner 45" wearable in India for Rs 19,990.

"Forerunner 45 is another significant addition to the existing forerunner collection. It is a marquee device when it comes to guiding beginners towards an athletic lifestyle. It aims to compel people to run and track their accomplishments, making running an experience in itself and not just a mere fitness activity," Ali Rizvi, National Sales Manager-Garmin India, said in a statement.
