Garmin Forerunner 235 GPS Running Watch: Make the most of your workout with this watch, which uses a wrist-based Elevate heart rate monitor to calculate your VO2 max and help you predict race times for various distances. Track your activity levels and receive a nudge when you have been sitting for too long, and monitor your steps taken, calories burned, distance traveled and sleep quality and quantity for an overall picture of your physical fitness.

A: The forerunner 235 and vívoactive HR both have a cycling profile. This option is best used with our bike speed/cadence sensor. The bike speed/cadence sensor is sold separately. ~JH
A: I used this for a 17 mile hike at Killington in VT. It was right on with our map.
A: The watch band is one size. I am petite and have tiny wrists as well, and it's not too big. On its tightest setting, I have 6 additional holes.
A: I returned mine for that reason. See my recent review. Marketing photos are very deceptive. I’ll stick with my Apple Watch
