    Great watch for those who want the athletic tracking features of a smartwatch without the crowded look/feel of an Apple or Samsung watch.

    The Garmin is great for tracking your daily physical activity. In addition, the IQ apps allow you to add other beneficial applications to the Garmin. I love the ability to change the watch face!

    I am very happy with my Garmin 235. The watch is very comfortable and has all the options I need like pace, steps. It would be perfect if it recorded steps but not a option on this model

    It's nice to have a watch you can dip in the pool. Love all the functions. Face is a finger print magnet. Purchased screen protector and solved that. Bluetooth is sometimes buggy, that's why the 4 stars

    Had to reach out to a friend to use. Had trouble with the directions. Best Buy offered free geek squad and I should have done it because I am not using the watch to its full potential.

    It is OK product. The only issue is that it detects the GPS signal too slow. Many times, the GPS signal is detected after I finish half mile running.

    This purchase was an upgrade from a Forerunner 220. Great new features, and this is a watch that was able to replace my fitbit as my everyday watch.

    This watch is nice for runners. Runners only. It limits wrist movement for any other type of workout . But it's a great product.

    Overall I’ve been happy with the watch, but some of the apps are sketchy. A simple stop watch or count down timer shouldn’t be a challenge....

    Bought watch primarily because I have begun running 5ks. Wanted to keep metabolistic info for each race. Harmon does a great job plus all the things I liked in Apple Watch but costs much less.
