 The stated battery life is 11 days when you use just the watch, step, and sleep tracking, smart notifications, and optical heart rate monitoring. In my experience, though, it lasted longer than that.

84 at Amazon UK)(Opens in a new window) , which is much better for those who only run. The Vivoactive is also very good for tracking runs, swims, and bike rides, but without a built-in HRM and no advanced metrics. For dedicated triathletes, though, the 735XT is a clear Editors' Choice.

 I'm a big fan of getting specific feedback about my personal training based on real data, and the 735XT is great at that.

84 at Amazon UK)(Opens in a new window) , for example, you can still track runs, swims, and bike rides with the Forerunner 735XT without having to do any complex reprogramming or in-app switching. The app will default to your Vivosmart for step and sleep data.

Garmin Forerunner 735XT Review

I have had a Garmin 735XT for maybe 3 years. I never had the text/notifications on to increase battery life and have loved the watch. Then a few weeks ago the battery was not lasting as long as it used to. Then on the 4th of July I was swimming in a lake and my watch just totally died

5") and in the end, it was just too large. It wouldn't even fit under the cuff of my basic dress shirt, and didn't see myself wearing it to bed to take advantage of the sleep functionality. The TomTom's didn't really look like I could wear them every day as a watch. I did consider the TomTom Spark Cardio + Music as I liked the idea of not having to carry my phone

 Pretty good app, full of data and makes it easy to install and customize watch faces. Many watch faces allow you to customize them (how and what data is displayed, basic colors, etc.). It's pretty awesome  Cons: - Only con I can really think of is that the Garmin weather widget on the watch is not working for me

 Did 8 mile run on Monday, 1000 Meter Swim on Tuesday, 5 Mile Run on Wednesday, 1000 meter swim on Thursday and by Thursday evening it was about at 25% and in the evening it beeped and said "save power mode", which I wasn't quite sure what that was at the time so I went ahead and put it on the charger. Looking like it's about 10-12% per day with at least a 30-45 minute activity with GPS each day. Keep in mind I have activity tracking, continuous heart rate monitoring, and use the stopwatch and countdown timer a few times during the day also.  I hope this review helps

 But that's been with me fiddling with the watch a lot.  I did a full charge of the watch on a Sunday. Did 8 mile run on Monday, 1000 Meter Swim on Tuesday, 5 Mile Run on Wednesday, 1000 meter swim on Thursday and by Thursday evening it was about at 25% and in the evening it beeped and said "save power mode", which I wasn't quite sure what that was at the time so I went ahead and put it on the charger. Looking like it's about 10-12% per day with at least a 30-45 minute activity with GPS each day

Can wear everyday and tracks everything I need.

  The critical aspect of all of my earlier Garmin watches is that I had both sound and vibration turned on for the lap notification so that even if it was noisy and there were distractions, I never missed the lap.  That doesn't work for me with this watch. There is (as is typical) no volume for the sound, and the vibration is so subtle that while I feel it if I'm sitting at a desk, outside I never felt it, even when approaching what I knew was going to be a lap - it's just too subtle.  Given that this is a popular triathlon watch, I must be in the minority on this, but I couldn't use this watch

Lovely watch but lacks non-subtle vibration alert, decent 'beep' volume and bright'ish backlight

.)  The "Needs Improvement" Stuff: To be fair, this has less to do with the watch than it does Garmin. But they continue to have issues in terms of ease of use between the device, their apps and their desktop applications. This isn't as big of a deal with watches that have less features, like my 220 and 225, but for the 735xt, it can be quite challenging

 GPS, HR, etc. is fairly accurate ("fairly" compared to perfection, but very accurate when compared to current competition). Customization (once you get over the learning curve) is pretty great. No issues on the battery life

 I was able to get six days of constant wear w/ HR monitor on and running for about eight hours during that time before it got down to about 1-2 percent.

Note: I will update this review as I use the watch more, but wanted to give my initial impressions after two runs with it. Updated 7/10/16: I've worn it for about three weeks now, so provided some additional thoughts at bottom of review. Updated 7/20/16: Something else great about this watch is how quickly it charges. I've never had a Garmin come close to the speed this thing powers up

Garmin has reached new heights in design and customization, but there will be a learning curve for most in using it

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.

very comfortable watch

 The watch itself is fantastic, The watchband is very comfortable and the features are fairly easy to figure out. Very cool design and a watch I plan to have for years to come. Just be prepared to have to hound the shipping company every step of the way.

I'm stationed in Afg and had previously ordered a watch from Amazon but it was lost, so I was a bit nervous about ordering another one. The shipping company was Pier 18 and they were late in shipping it out and 3 days after the shipping date cited by Amazon I had to send a reminder email to them, but after that I got the watch in less than 2 weeks. The watch itself is fantastic, The watchband is very comfortable and the features are fairly easy to figure out. Very cool design and a watch I plan to have for years to come

excellent watch

 Even without the button problem battery life is just less than a year. Looking for a new watch. I've not babied this watch but I've not pushed it too hard either. I think Suunto can do better than this

 I've not babied this watch but I've not pushed it too hard either. I think Suunto can do better than this. Just looked at their website the model has been largely superseded. Cannot recommend to purchase
