    Great sport watch. The Garmin Connect software works great. The only downside is the watch isn't water resistant.

    Bought the fenix 5 and loved it but I wanted a less expensive watch for lifting. This one does the job and even maps your walks.

    Great GPS/activity/heart rate tracker. I haven't taken it off since I bought it. Syncs with your phone so you can receive notifications on your watch.

    Good solid running watch but my Garmin 935 is far better. The 235 is good if you are mainly a runner and get it at a good discount/
