🏃 Enhanced Garmin Forerunner 35 GPS Running Watch Review

I liked the watch for 2 months until it stopped notifying me. I originally bought the Forerunner 25 and traded them in for the 35 thinking they would be nice if they could get notifications on my watch. I paid more money for the Four Runner 35 and now it only does what the 25DidTried-Tech-Help model does, but the game gives me no more advice than what the manual said.

Not sure I would like this watch, tried so many different ones. Like the style, size, looks and functionality. Was disappointed with the battery life. Even if I don't use GPS, I lose a bar every day, so charging seems cumbersome.

First of all I would probably give this watch 5 stars. But when I used it, there were a few problems. As a student runner, I save a lot of runs to record later, but this watch can't save more than 6-7 runs. Also, there is no way to save your intervals. This watch only tracks miles.

I really want to give 5 stars but I can't. It has trouble syncing with the app on iOS and Android. Also, it doesn't seem to save any data like my latest Garmin device to force a sync when it's not working on its own. The range is a little wide for a woman, but it works as the readings appear fairly accurate across the board. Overall I'm okay with that, but I might make a different choice if I knew about hiccups.

The child liked it. Main screen, main functions. 6 Months Update: Downgraded from 5 to 2 stars. The clock died on vacation at the age of about 4 months. I expected more durability. Garmin was easy to deal with, paid for return shipping and quickly sent a refurbished replacement. Let's see how long this one lasts. I really like Garmin, I have other watches and a GPS navigator. I hope this was an outlier and I won't be editing this review for a few months.
