The Garmin Forerunner 235 is one of my favorite running watches and for good reason: It has everything runners need to take their training to the next level. It's not ideal for multisport athletes, though.
The Forerunner 735XT is an exceptional watch for serious triathletes, but there are better and cheaper alternatives for both dedicated runners and more casual athletes.
Lightweight and waterproof, and has GPS for tracking a variety of sports and an optical heart-rate sensor; All-day activity tracking, interval training and phone notifications are helpful; There's a multisport mode to time triathlon transitions and easily switch sport profiles; It's compatible with a wide-range of Garmin accessories.
It's expensive; there's no altimeter for measuring ascent and descent; and battery life may not be long enough for a full Ironman triathlon.
The Garmin Forerunner series blends features from the best fitness trackers with all the features you expect from running watches. The $449.99 Garmin Forerunner 735XT, one of the newest in the family, is a 24/7 activity and sleep tracker with continuous heart rate monitoring, GPS, push notifications, and special features for triathletes. It's expensive, but it manages to be both lightweight and achieve absolutely terrific battery life. If you're a triathlete in search of a new fitness tracker, the Garmin Forerunner 735XT is a clear Editors' Choice. If you aren't already signed up to compete in a tri, the 735XT is probably overkill both in terms of features and on your wallet. I'd recommend instead the Garmin Vivoactive, or the Garmin Vivoactive HR if you feel strongly about having wrist-based heart rate monitoring. They cost a lot less and have all the features needed for runners, swimmers, and bicyclists who don't need to do quick transitions. Price, Design, and Battery LifeWhe...
The Garmin Forerunner 735XT fitness tracker gives pertinent information to triathletes about their sports, including advice you don't often see, like recovery time. It's comprehensive and easy to use but will set you back a pretty penny.
