 It performs reasonably well on easy and long runs, but when it came time for a fast speed workout, the data tended to fluctuate by around 20 beats per minute. This isn't the end of the world because you can still connect an amp plus chest strap. Garmin's mobile app also isn't my favorite. It's messy and can be confusing to navigate and there are occasional hiccups with syncing and connectivity between the watch and the app

 and when your smartphone is connected, it can display notifications and control your music. As for battery life, you will see about 11 hours with an active GPS signal or up to nine days when using it as a fitness tracker with heartrate. I Tended to get about a week depending on my running schedule, and like most common products, the 2:35 can also be worn in the shower and swimming. But before you go out and buy one, there's a few things you need

 But the benefits of the watch outweigh the cons by a mile. If you're looking for a GPS running watch with heart rate, the 2:35 is worth the investment, even at skirt price of $330 Oh.

This is the Garmin Forerunner 2:35 and it's my new favorite running watch for both casual and serious runners. And here's why: It's packed full of features like an optical heart rate sensor to measure your heart rate during workouts and throughout the day. There's a recovery advisor to help determine when you're ready for that next hard workout and the watch can even estimate your Vo2 max. This is all in addition to all the basic running features like auto pause, auto lap, and interval workouts, the 2:35 supports both Gps and Glonass for tracking pace and distance

Garmin Forerunner 235 is amazing value for runners, serious or casual

 Well, needless to say it doesn't last very long. I charged it fully on Wednesday and then used it only during the day (turning it off at night) and it is Sunday now. It has 31% battery left. So that's around 48 hours so far with probably another 8 before I need to charge it again

 I ran with the Blaze and Garmin yesterday. The blaze (connected to GPS for a brief moment before it lost connection) gave me 2.35 miles while the Garmin gave me 2.2

 I got so many error messages and I still cannot figure out how to use the app very easily. That's where Fitbit has one up on Garmin. Information you want at your fingertips are easy to find, but on the Garmin, it often takes me a few minutes to find the info I want. I wish I could have all the data from the Garmin with the Fitbit app

Good as a GPS running watch with some activity tracking.

I went from using a running at on my phone to a garmin forerunner 235 and have since upgraded to the 245. I absolutely love it. If you do go for garmin I would advice 245 at a minimum. The 235 is good but for the different in price you get way more for your money in the 245

I’m debating whether I should get a Garmin watch for my upcoming marathon training…

Currently I use my iPhone with the Strava and Nike Run app to track my distance, pace etc. which to date has worked for me.  

What’s the difference from these apps and a watch like Garmin?  Are there any additional reasons to justify the cost of purchasing one? 

Any help would be appreciated✌🏽

Garmin Watch - Worth it?

  After all of the positive reviews, and wanting a device that would deliver notifications to my watch for easy reading, I decided on this one (over the VivoActive) since it's designed for runners and has testimonials of high durability (is truly waterproof, provides relevant running stats, etc.).  Things that make this upgrade worth it: -VERY fast GPS signal location -Provides time for fastest mile, even if that was between miles, i.e

This is the third Garmin watch I've owned after the past 5 years - not because they keep breaking, I just keep upgrading. I started with the Forerunner 10, moved to the 15, and am now using the 235.  After all of the positive reviews, and wanting a device that would deliver notifications to my watch for easy reading, I decided on this one (over the VivoActive) since it's designed for runners and has testimonials of high durability (is truly waterproof, provides relevant running stats, etc.)

 I'd say this is typical for BT devices, however.  As usual, Garmin packs a ton of high-quality, low-maintenance functionality into a great product once again. To me, they are the gold standard for fitness devices.

Easy to use, great features, another excellent Garmin product

 The only problem I'm encountering right now is that it keeps on reading wrong weight from my phone. But other than that I like it. I haven't explore much of it, like I haven't use the courses and workouts yet. But overall I like the app

 I also like that the screen data for running can also be customize to some extent.  Phone App (4): I like the latest update of Garmin Connect phone app. The only problem I'm encountering right now is that it keeps on reading wrong weight from my phone. But other than that I like it

 Although this is really more for Running, cycling and swimming, I use this to track my heart rate when I lift at the gym. I understand the weight training is difficult to track unlike other activities. As for running, I love how I'm able to track all my cadence, pace, HR, speed and distance. Since I just started running, I love that I'm starting to understand how I can improve my running performance by finding out all the information

 I also like that it has functions to change the face of the watch and the data screen to adjust and customize.  Functionality (5 for now): I'm using this to track my running and my other activity.

Great and perfect sports watch for new runners.

 First, I upgraded to the 235 from an off brand gps watch. The two watches are not of the same caliber so I won’t go in any detail in comparison. What I immediately liked though about the Garmin 235 was how seamlessly the watch and app synced with my iPhone. I was able to quickly set alert prompts and notifications

 He explained the differences between the models and encouraged me to get the best watch for what I would use it for. I was also told that the 235 actually utilizes older Garmin technology — it doesn’t have music storage and sync or some of the more advanced running functions. I was able to get a better price point. Despite some of the technology limitations mentioned the 235 meets and exceeds my expectations for a running watch

I got this smart watch to do long distance run training. With not very much smart watch experience I have to say I’m impressed with what this watch can do.

The award-winning Suunto Core comes in a range of stylish design options, packing easy-to-use outdoor functions in a robust construction. Combining an altimeter, barometer and compass with weather information, Suunto Core provides the essential features for adventures in the great outdoors. Designed to bring out the explorer in you.

OutdoorGearLab

The Suunto Core Alu is a classic ABC watch designed to get the basics right. It tracks total ascent and descent and offers both barometer and altimeter graphs, a compass, and a reliable, long-lasting battery. You won't be worried if you take this on a multi-day or even a multi-month mission. 
It's not filled with as many features as the Garmin Fenix 5 Plus and doesn't include a GPS. We also wish that the altitude and barometer graphs were a little sleeker. If you are looking for something a little more affordable, opt for the traditional Core, which costs a lot less. Despite its drawbacks, we figure that an altimeter watch should do one thing well—measure altitude—and that's something the Core Alu does.  

Switchback Travel

The Garmin Instinct 2 Solar above is a modern sports watch complete with GPS support and smart features, but not everyone needs such a complex design (or wants to pay for it). For the best in ABC functionality without additional bells and whistles, it doesn’t get much better than the Suunto Core. Priced at $250, the Core offers top-notch accuracy with a premium barometric altimeter and packs in an impressive lineup of features, including sunset and sunrise times for more than 400 locations, alerts of changing pressure or disappearing daylight, and a seven-day altitude log for hikers. Tack on a sleek minimalist design and a wide variety of optional colors, and the Suunto Core is a true everyday multifunction watch.

The Suunto Core has been on the market for a number of years, and in that time users have seen a couple issues crop up. First, the band doesn’t always hold up well under heavy use, and a replacement piece will run you around $61 (or cheaper for a knock-off). Second, despite the large screen, some find the black background and white text difficult to read in sunlight. And finally, the Core is far from the cheapest option here—you can save money with watches like the Pro Trek PRG-270 and Lad Weather Master Sensor below, and even the GPS-equipped COROS Pace 2 is more affordable at $200. But for the best combination of quality, functionality, and durability, the Suunto Core is our favorite non-GPS altimeter watch of the year.See the Suunto Core

 The Amazon.com main image might have you think the display is a purple hue, but it is gray at all angles.  Having said all that – if you need a watch for highly critical missions, this watch will likely fall below the range of functional necessity. However, if you need a backpacking, casual or travelers watch, you should be really happy with this watch

 The watch needs to be removed for an accurate reading. • A tad bulky on thin wrists (not really a con, just worthy of noting for those who have smaller wrists) • Alti/Baro log review is limited by style of display. If this is a critical feature to you, I'd consider GPS watches • You can only set a single alarm. This is also such a huge oversight

  Having said all that – if you need a watch for highly critical missions, this watch will likely fall below the range of functional necessity. However, if you need a backpacking, casual or travelers watch, you should be really happy with this watch.

Attractive, functional watch – with needed improvements. Please rate, if helpful.

 At added cost, I would love to see a fortified solar version with a reserve and a backup battery. Water resistance is decent, but no where near my Casio Mudman 9300, which was half the price and put up with a LOT more abuse. Granted, the Mudman does not have an alti/baro function, but for me those are more of a want vs. need

I was hoping to love this, but a few things bother me. The good: comfortable to wear, accurate instruments for a watch, sleek look, intuitive menus (subjective) The bad: battery life, prone to scratches/damage if used for its' intended outdoor purpose, fairly dim display even when backlit.

Good watch with some shortcomings.

 Plus I go swimming daily in the in-ground pool with the watch on without issue. The band is holding up good as new, the face of the watch has no scratches, and all of the buttons work perfectly. After three months of everyday use I have zero complaints about the watch. Glad I bought it

I've been wearing this watch for three months now. It works exactly as advertised to this point. I live in Florida and like to keep an eye on the weather when outside. The barometer function mirrors my home weather station closely

Excellent Watch

 The altimeter is a bit complicated and requires input to calibrate on a regular basis. Temperature appears to be biased by being on your arm and is not ambient. These are no big deals for me, i am enjoying the watch, and it is very comfortable to wear.
