Fav. Christmas gift
I'm obsessed with this watch. I had been wanting a running watch for ages and I was so excited when Garmin released the new Forerunner line. I have had the watch for two weeks now and have worn it almost exclusively to get a better idea of my heart rate, etc.
Pros:
- Lightweight
- great for training
Cons:
- Expensive

Great Garmin
I got 2 of these for my wife and me. She loves hers and says it helps her on her runs already. Had it for a week now and has preformed brilliantly on both runs and bike rides. Links perfectly with Strava.

"Sportsmen will go crazy :)"
Recently, I've understood the ultimate reason of sharing your hobbies and life stories with colleagues: they'll give you nice presents! XD Surely, I'm joking, but boyfriend who goes in for sports got Garmin Forerunner 235 from his co-workers on Birthday half a year ago.
Pros:
- Multifunctionality
Cons:
- Price

Like features of watch
I have had the watch for a couple of weeks and used it last week for a 1/2 Marathon. both my husband and I have the watch and love it! We particularly like the versatility of the features it has. Would definitely recommend it.

Harmon Forerunner 235
Really cool wrist heart rate watch. I confirmed accuracy by testing against my chest strap heart rate monitor sumultaneously. There were slight deviations in bpm during intervals.

Great GPS Watch!
Absolutely the best GPS watch I ever owned, and I've owned 3 prior to this one. Everything works as expected, its comfortable, lightweight, has a big screen. My only concern was reading about the screen not being bright enough, it has not been an issue at all.

Great Fitness Watch with Notifications
I was sick of using apps to set interval times for runs but I still wanted a smart watch. This watch has everything that I could have asked for; it is a perfect fitness watch with all the features that you would need for running, and it has your smart notifications (calls, emails, texts, etc.

Perfect for Runners!
Really Great watch for runners!! It has a very clean App and a tie up with My Fitness Pal (for Calorie Intake monitoring), which has most Indian Foods. I would strongly recommend this watch against any of the top end Fitbits. Runners, this is the perfect fitness tracker / watch to start with.

pretty sweet running watch
only had it for 2 weeks but i've been wearing it everyday. hope it lasts at least 2 years otherwise this watch isn't worth it. Was this review helpful
Pros:
- - fairly accurate strapless heart rate monitoring which is the only good reason to buy this over the 230
- - daytime activity tracking - cadence tracking - good bluetooth integration with strava - good collection of apps and watch faces to customize
Cons:
- - expensive AF - battery lasts about a week with just a couple hours of running activity
- i suspect continual bluetooth sync drains the battery too much
- - bluetooth range is very short
- - constantly reconnecting for sync with the garmin app which I hope will be fixed with the next firmware

Excellent running watch
I brought this to upgrade from my old garmin. It is lightweight, has the HR monitor built in and also counts your daily steps etc constantly. Fast GPS locating when going for run and good tracking of the run. I wear it all the time as a normal watch. Highly recommended.
