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.

Good middle range running watch
This is a good step up from Fitbit charge 2 as it has gps. However the first charge requires a heavy duty USB charger. So had to take it back to find this out. Battery lasts for more 6 days as detailed. It hasn't failed yet but the screen is hard to read if you don't have the right watch face.

Great watch, but very fragile
I love this product for running. I haven't used the cycling, but had heard it was good for swimming. After I bought it, that wasn't true. I didn't use it for it, though, just found out by reading the instructions. I am on my second watch since February, but I need to exchange it again.

Pros:
- Battery life is great, charges real fast
- GPS out side on a run works perfect
- Not the best on treadmill though
- Everything works like it should, very happy with mine especially since it was bought on special
Cons:
- Wish it was a little smaller to suit the female arm
- Making the screen smaller would still be ok I believe

Great all-round watch
Originally bought the touch screen Garmin VivoSmart, but returned it and bought this instead. Touch screen sounds like it would be a good idea, but in practice it's better to be able to feel the start/stop button.

Very stylish for a running watch.
This was a gift for my husband to update his old Garmin Forerunner with more functions to help provide him with a more accurate record of his running. He finds the automatic downloads much easier and has had many people commenting on how stylish it is.

This Garmin FR235 watch is fantastic It has helped me with my running training and being able to track all my activity to keep me motivated and improving daily. Poor service - The customer service from Amazon AU when ordering this item though was APPALLING and I will never purchase through Amazon Au...
