Garmin Forerunner 35

Listen for my needs is the watch perfect? No, but based on for the lot of things that I've mentioned throughout this review, I think, because of the r...

Hey fans, I'm here without Garmin Forerunner 35. It is the cheapest GPS sports watch offered by Garmin to include heart rate tracking.

It's definitely worth it if you want to track your runs and get a little bit more serious about running. I can recommend the Forerunner 35 and see how you get on with it.

ConclusionsThe Garmin Forerunner 35 offers built-in GPS and heart rate monitoring in a waterproof design, long battery life, push notifications, and the option to control music from your phone.

About 12km in, part of the path was very unclear and overgrown. Checking the navigation track against the physical map I had made it a breeze to figure out which way the true path was. Without the watch, I would probably have turned back rather than risk getting lost alone in unknown mountains. Extra bit: trekking alone, and having the live tracking enabled, meant my family could have a look once in a while and know I was still on the move (some members on my family are fairly apprehensive, it's good not to have to send "I AM ALIVE" messages every half hour while on a trek).

It doesn’t really do anything strava doesn’t do, but it does do heart rate monitoring which makes it almost worth it just on that alone. But also I find bringing the phone to be annoying. Imo the expensive models aren’t worth it but the forerunner 35/45 can be very cost sensible and nice to have. I wouldn’t spend more than 100-150.

I used the quick-release wristband because I would go back and forth between my road bike. I don't think I'll ever rely on it again because this is the second time it's disconnected accidentally, and certainly the last time since there's no hope of finding it along the 10 mile trail of rock and mud. The main point: I need to replace the device and I'm pondering a different model. The Fenix 6 was a consideration.
