Garmin's latest Vivoactive is worth a look if you desire a sports watch that doubles for everyday wear. Unlike the Forerunner 45, you do have full access to Garmin Connect IQ. You can make use of daily suggested workouts, rest up better with the improved recovery advisor and better strategize for races with Garmin's great PacePro feature.

That means you get full Strava Segments, KOM and records. You can connect Garmin and Strava from within Garmin Connect, meaning any activity you track on your watch can be synced automatically to Strava.
