Review on Improved SEO: Garmin Forerunner 935 Black Running GPS Unit (010-01746-00) by Michael Hughes

Summary: If you are looking for a sports watch that records a lot of data, is useful for training and doesn't care about "smart functions" other than notifications. That's it. It's fast, accurate, lasts forever and is probably the best we've got right now. Pros: - You can actually have maps and directions, navigation is coming soon, even if it's not a Fenix 5x (search "485" in your phone's app store). This is amazingly helpful. The battery life and charging speed are just insane. at that time when I plugged it in for an update a few days ago (which took 5 minutes so it charged 5 minutes which was 89% charged). I didn't, um, fall below the charge level it was at when I got it. Now it's at 79% and I got it out of the box at 70%. I've had 3 hours of GPS usage since then. I have no doubt it can take a week. I also have no doubt that it lasts more than a day in ultra-tack mode (claimed 60 hours) and around 20 hours in normal full-tracking mode (claimed 24 hours), although I'll update when I have . dehumidification. the opportunity to test a 20-hour training session. - Non-backlit screen: for some reason the reviews don't reflect this. No backlight means the screen does not emit any light by default, just like Amazon Paper/Papershite Kindles. This means that it can be read in ANY sunlight and consumes very little power. In the event that it is completely dark outside, there is of course additional lighting. - Menus without unnecessary importance. I was afraid of it. No touchscreen? How good will the keys be? Well they are fine. All menus are logical and actually everything is quite simple and convenient. Nice. Customizable - It's not a Samsung or Apple watch, but you have a few watch faces and apps - and it works. - Light and "thin" for smartwatches. It's lighter and thinner than my Microsoft Band 2, for example. I don't feel anything on my wrist. GPS, Glonass, heart rate monitor work well. Better than any watch I've ever had. It responds quickly to changes in heart rate and is accurate enough for a wrist heart rate monitor. Some would like to have a separate bracelet for heart rate measurement, but it is not really necessary. ANT+ connection, Bt. The fact that I can see data from my bike gear on the watch and transfer data from the watch to my Wahoo bike computer is amazing. - Number of stats: This is a Garmin sports watch. They get everything they can write down and more. It's just cool. Autopause etc. in activities: I've always wondered how well this works with Garmins. Well, everything has been fine so far, that's all - Notifications: I've read how bad notifications are on Garmin devices. Now, where I've used it I can say it's not bad at all. It's actually very cool. Easy to read, fast, reliable - at least with this watch at the moment. Of course you can't choose the answer from the clock, but I've never really bothered - most of the time it seems more useless than helpful. Cons: - It's quite big. If you have a small wrist, be prepared. It's not the biggest watch in the world, but it's not small either. Android software is terribly bad. Login, app store, overall reliability isn't great. This works, but sometimes it may take multiple attempts. Garmin, please hire a real Android developer? Luckily, you don't have to interact with it much other than reading your sports stats, and this part works fine. - Bad documentation. I had to google how to update the watch software which involved copying the file. on the clock. It's not too bad, but I'm expecting an automatic over-the-air update and/or a recent document from Garmin explaining how to do it, not forum posts. - Price. If you want the best, this is it. However, compared to a Garmin 235 or even an Apple Watch, it's still overpriced. Basically not very good value for money - I would have preferred a wireless charger - although the thing rarely needs to be charged it's not a big deal - Can't play music from the watch - Can't use regular cards out of the box ( requires additional third-party paid software) Images: Seiko 42mm, sizes FR-935 and Microsoft Band 2.
