Unleash Your Running Potential with the Garmin Forerunner 235 GPS Running Watch Review

I took the watch for long distance running. Before that, I ran with a chest sensor, the belt rubbed the skin, so the choice fell on these. I was able to buy new ones for a much lower price. They have one glitch - the heart rate freezes at 86-91. It happened once at a half marathon, it was very unpleasant. I found a simple way on the Internet: you need to turn off the sensor and restart the clock. Well, always start running only after the heart rate sensor stops flashing. The second jamb…

I use 5 years. And some comments cause genuine amazement at their disposability. They were buggy from the very beginning. Specifically, the delay after pressing the "lap" button during interval training. I pressed it, and the cutoff occurred a little later. When the clock is turned off, the screen mysteriously goes out, but not quickly, but by parts of the pixels. And this is every time. It happened that they hung. Thought a 15 second reset wouldn't help. But manipulations with the connection…

So far, somewhat disappointed, although so far I have heard only rave reviews for the products of this company. Faced a serious conflict between the watch and the Garmin Express software. Attempts to transfer a workout, for example, through Garmin Express, knock out the GPS sensor, which is why the watch freezes when you try to start the workout. It is treated only by resetting to factory settings, rebinding, reconfiguring and similar cute things. It is convenient to train with this watch, but

I took the watch to replace mi band 2, because. it is inconvenient to constantly look at the phone to control the pace, intervals, etc. Even this simple bracelet measured the pulse perfectly (you just need to fix it correctly above the bone and fasten it more tightly). Has pros: The watch performs its functions at 100. I took exactly 235, not 230 because of the built-in heart rate monitor. Hence the round-the-clock monitoring of the pulse and the measurement of the resting heart rate. A chest…

The heart rate monitor is weird. On a bicycle, scooters refuse to adequately measure the pulse. The pulse stops at around 70 to 110. Yes, this sometimes happens when running. Previous Suunto measured much more logically, although also not without jambs. The watch also takes a very long time to respond to changes in the pace of running. You run uphill, show the pace, let's say 7 min / km, ran out to a flat one, and the pace is kept at 7 for another half a minute. Again, Suunto reacted to this…

This is my first running watch. Before that, I ran either just with a phone or with a Xiaomi bracelet. The bracelet is of no use if there is no phone with GPS nearby. And besides, you can’t connect a chest heart rate monitor to it, which is why it’s inconvenient to run in winter: if you want a pulse reading, you can’t put it on over a jacket. And the heart rate monitor itself left much to be desired. Plus, there was also a problem with his sensory: sometimes the watch under the jacket for some…

I took in the calculation to read messages (SMS, vatsap) without taking out the phone and not to miss calls. However, notifications rarely fire, i. E. Not everyone comes and with a delay of half a minute or a minute. Never received a call notification. Watches are not even worth the money that they ask for them in foreign stores, not to mention the doubled 2022 price.

The model performs all the important declared functions. With constant heart rate measurement and regular viewing of notifications, the charge lasts a week. Charges for an hour and a half. Displays all notifications from the phone, a maximum of 25, after viewing they are immediately deleted. The pedometer and heart rate monitor have an error, but are still quite accurate. Compared in different modes with Mi Band, Meizu Bong 2HR and Welltory readings from iPhone. Meizu's pulse lies and greatly…

Long decided to buy. After a little over a month of use, only positive emotions. After the purchase, I stuck a film on the screen - I'm afraid to scratch it. So far I have used them only for running (constant training and one participation in the race) and when snowboarding. For running training, I downloaded a training program via garmin connect and am working with it - there is progress. I also follow the advice on recovery time. For snowboarding, I used the Other mode. As a result, I…

All in all, aside from the upgrades mentioned above, the watch is excellent. Alerts, heart rate monitoring, etc. are always on. 3-4 times a week running workouts. In this mode, the charge lasts for two weeks. There is no head pain like familiar owners of apple (it's generally tin) and Polar devices (I run with friends, there is something to compare with). Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but in the pool they show everything except the distance. This is not critical for me (I took it for…

So far this watch has been great. I've only used it a few times. I switched to this from an old Polar watch. My first run with it was on Garmin, Polar and Apple Watch. I ran just over 13 miles. Garmin recorded the shortest distance of the three. Apple Watch recorded the longest of them. I did a track workout the next night and the Garmin was slightly ahead of the Polar but still behind the Apple Watch. It's hard to say which is the most accurate. Battery life isn't the best, but charging isn't…

I bought this Garmin 235 to replace my old 210 which was getting to the point where it wouldn't take/hold a charge. I don't make any special demands on watches, and they can do a lot more than I need. I have a walking program that helps me keep my muscles toned and active to lose weight. I tried just running every day without a GPS watch, but I got fed up and left early. I need the discipline to set time, distance and pace goals and then try to meet or exceed those goals. I've only had the 235…

I bought this watch to replace my old Forerunner 230. I've been using the 230 for a few years but wanted to upgrade to a watch that offered wrist heart rate tracking. The 235 allows me to do that and the learning curve is zero. The Forerunner 235 does everything Garmin says and does it well enough. The HR monitor is great for running and TRX workouts. The GPS function tracks my runs very well. The notification from my smartphone arrived very promptly on the watch. The seller sent the watch on…
