🏃 Garmin Forerunner 235 with Wrist-Based Heart Rate Monitoring, Forest Blue/Black (010-03717-49) Review

I had this watch for about 3 years when I thought I had lost it. After looking at many other watches, I decided to buy this watch again because I really liked it. Easy to use, small and loves the green trail. Highly recommended

I love this watch! Needed an upgrade because my old Garmin was losing momentum. It cuts off at 22 miles, which isn't great if you want to run a marathon. This one works great, simple, does what I need. Love it!

I bought this Garmin Forerunner 235 watch hoping to track my progress with the Garmin app. The watch has never been connected to the Garmin app. I've made every possible troubleshooting suggestion. I spent hours on the phone and in chat windows. Each rep said it was a connection issue due to a security breach in the app. The problem was never resolved and now I'm stuck with an expensive, useless device and the return window is closed.

I then called Garmin and they helped me get it working and again it didn't work. Garmin says the watch is normally sold in Europe and may not be compatible with our electrical system. It's nothing I could know. Garmin told me to send them the watch and they would trade it in for a newer model and a watch

The second time I used the Garmin 235 my heart rate stayed at 112 and didn't change. I couldn't get it to work properly. Then I tried connecting it to a heart rate strap and it didn't recognize it. Oh, although he looked pretty cool. I had to return it. Shot. What did I get next you ask? Well, definitely not another Garmin product. I bought a Polar Vantage M and it worked flawlessly for the first few weeks. This new watch makes me feel like I've moved from the closet to the penthouse. Polar's…
