Garmin - Forerunner 35 GPS Watch - Black

Seriously this Garmin is amazing. I bought it with money earned from a laptop purchase while it was on sale and wasn’t expecting much but wow was I blown away. Super easy to connect with the Garmin app (I have an iPhone) and it only took about 20 minutes to get to a full charge. Using for the first time in day to day activities today and am really excited! I used to own an Apple Watch but after I used it for a couple of months it started to really lag and not catch when I was working out. This Garmin sends notifications, has do not disturb enabled when I have it set on my phone, and automatically catches every workout. Seriously. So. Impressed. Also I have a bigger wrist (to the point I was worried I wouldn’t have enough room to space with the sizer) and it fits like a charm!

I love this watch! I got it when it was on sale and I’m so glad I did. I think it’s accurate and I love syncing it to the app! Something about seeing your stats motivates you to keep moving! The only downside is that if worn too long, it bruises/causes breakdown of the skin on your wrist. Sounds worse than it looks, but it is something to be aware of. To prevent this, I loosen it up a bit or give my wrist a break from it from time to time. It might be helpful to take off the watch and wipe your wrist dry after exercise as well.

I thought this watch was awesome and was going to be great. It functions fine for now but shortly after getting it, like a few days, my screen developed a dot that’s yellowish in color and it has just continued to grow and I’ve only had it for about a month. By the time I noticed it, it was past the 14 day return time frame. Super bummed.

I love Garmin Select app that supports the fitness watch. The watch options are relatively basic but work well for my use. I have an iPhone so the notifications for certain functions are limited to the Android operating devices ie., I cant answer the phone when notifications indicate a call is coming in. The platform doesn’t allow for multiple functions simultaneously ie., I can’t check the weather without ending/saving my current activity. But works well at tracking my calories burned, steps, heart rate and high intensity workouts! And it’s easy to set up and operate.

I love this watch, it has an amazing GPS and it's such a good watch just for daily use!

I bought this to replace a Fitbit that died. Garmin is better in the way that I don't need my phone to capture my hikes. The Garmin Connect app offers everything I need with the fitbit app. Forerunner 35 is a good entry level fitness watch. Unfortunately, the display started to fade and I got a Vivoactive 3 to replace it.

I love my Garmin. It tracks all my workouts. Great!

It was recommended by a running club friend. The software is spectacular.
