This is really an excellent watch. It is a smaller size so not so bulky on the wrist as other GPS watches. It acquires satellites quickly and has a lot of options including receiving text messages from a linked phone. Really a great watch and highly recommend it.

Perfect size Garmin quality Some smart functions such as receiving text messages Long battery life

I bought this for my son who is training for a marathon. He has been using it in earnest for his build up to a half marathon the other week.

Love my new Garmin - does exactly what I want it to - maps my runs / walks accurately. Gives me lots of other interesting data - still working all that out ?. Bought as gift with vouchers from friends - so pleased I used them for this. New to running - definitely got the bug.

had this watch quite a while. It's good for the price. However the heart rate sensor isn't 100% accurate. a lot of the time it says I'm 160 when I'm not that out of breath, and sometime the opposite where I'm going 100% and it's only registered 105.

Simple functionality and long battery life are plus points. I'm a long time Garmin watch user having had a Forerunner 10 for about 6 yrs. The Forerunner 35 keeps the simplicity of the 10 but adds a whole chunk of functions with the added benefits of Bluetooth pairing with my iPhone.

I absolutely love this watch. I hadn't worn a watch for years, but I wear this one all the time(except for work, I am in construction). The watch is perfect for a novice runner such as myself. The heart rate monitor is great to have. Makes listening to music while a run so much easier as well.

I bought this a week ago and it hasn't disappointed. Simple to use, works after an hours charge straight out the box. Does everything you could want on your wrist. Saves me having to carry my phone on runs.

My old Soleus started acting up so I searched for a replacement. This time I wanted a light, functional and simple to navigate watch. Because I have a Garmin Forerunner 201 for my bike (and like it a lot) I gave the 35 a try. It was also reasonably priced at $169. I really like this watch.

With GPS, heart-rate tracking and ANT+ sensor support, there's no need to pay more for a fully featured sports watch

Cheap; Excellent GPS tracking; Long battery life; Supports ANT+ sensors

No swim tracking; Lacks newer features such as stress tracking

Easy to use and sync with my phone. GPS connects fast so no waiting around. Light weight, clear info display. This replaced a very old garmin and has rekindled my love of running. The map feature of where you have run and all the additional information is fantastic.
