Review on Unleash Your Running Potential with the Garmin Forerunner 235 GPS Running Watch by Randy Albright

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great runner watch!

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 time. They arrived in perfect condition. I highly recommend this watch for intermediate runners - those who have been running for around 6 months and know they want to keep running for fun and possibly train for the occasional run. For beginners, the Forerunner 35 is better; More experienced runners may need ground contact, vibration, etc. data not available on the 235. The 235 seamlessly tracks your exercise date and can be easily tracked on the Garmin Connect web portal. The Forerunner 235 is a great budget watch, activity, and heart rate monitor.
