    It’s a good watch, the only negatives I have are, it doesn’t fully charge to 100%. Once at 98 it’s starts loosing juice on the charger. If you pt a lot it doesn’t stay charged longer than 4 days.

    Disappointed.

    Disappointed. I purchase this Garmin in December 2018, hoping to last several years and now after 2 years and 5 months is not working anymore. It started some months ago with difficulties to upload my activities, the sometimes displaying an off time, then freezing, battery lasting around 28 hours, and now it charging at all. I still have the forerunner 101 that I purchased in 2004 and is still working. I will give a double thought before purchasing a Garmin again.

    This unit was ok however after purchase I realized the tech was a bit dated specifically the HR sensor compared against the vivosmart 3. I ended up upgrading to the vivosmart which I am happy with.

    The display isn’t as sharp as the picture seen online. The Bluetooth connection seems to dip in & out. Overall it’s good for what I need especially at the price point.

    I tried these and the Vivoactive 3 and I kept the V3 because it isn't as bulky, the quality of the glass seemed better, and it had a couple of more features that suited my life style better.

    Limited in its uses. Ended up returning it and bring the forerunner 45. Is much better and around the same price.

      I'm sorry to hear you were disappointed with the Forerunner 235, however, the Forerunner 45 is a newer model of activity tracking device.
