Unisex Forerunner® 35 Black Silicone Strap GPS Running Smart Watch 24mm
Product details
Web ID: 4287281Great no-frills running watch
The Garmin Forerunner 35 was exactly what I needed for the right price. As an intermediate-to-advanced runner, I used this to track mileage, pace, overall time, and heart rate during and after my runs. The connectivity to the Garmin Connect smartphone app made uploading runs to other apps like Strava seamless. I would recommend it for beginners who are interested in trying out their first GPS watch or for more advanced runners who know what they want with nothing extra.

All the features I need at a reasonable price
After over one year of use I've been extremely satisfied with my Forerunner 35. It has all the essential features for running, cycling and fitness tracking, the pulse sensor works well, the battery life is sufficient, and it is more compact than most other models. I would definitely buy this model again.
Customer review from Garmin
Good as a starter activity tracking watch.
User friendly, even for inexperienced users. The price is also user friendly. If you are looking for more bells and whistles, consider getting one of the more advanced Garmin watches.

Not happy
Everything was fine with my Garmin Forerunner 35 at first and I loved it. But it quit taking a charge after about 3 months.

Barely Useful
About the only thing that is even remotely accurate is the stop watch feature. Distance measures are laughable--I ran 400 meters on a track in one direction (left hand curves) and then 400 meters in the other (right had curves). The first 400 was off by 20 meters; the second 400 lap was off by 100 meters. Pacing is virtually impossible because read outs vary by more than a minute without any perceptible change in pace. The problems did not change whether I used the foot pod or not. I cannot now imagine anyone finding anything useful in such inaccurate measuring data.

Watch band failure
I have enjoyed my Christmas present, the Forerunner 35, however, the watch band is now partially disconnected from the watch. The effort to connect the watch to the band with simple set screws must be a poor design since I now need a replacement after only 10 months

Awesome!
My Polar is too old for the strap to be replaced. Changed to Garmin. Easy set up through app.
