The Garmin Forerunner 935 is a multi-sport watch that will just keep chugging along for days and days on your wrist. It also functions as a smartwatch and fitness tracker in many ways. It offers advanced running and multisport features in a comfortable watch you can wear all day, and it only weighs 49 grams. Hence, it's much lighter than the Garmin Fenix 5X. This watch offers 24 hours battery life in GPS/HR mode and two weeks in smartwatch mode. Forerunner 935 is capable of tracking a broad range of activities like running, swimming and cycling.
Manufacturer: Garmin
The Garmin Forerunner 935 is a compact piece of kit and has managed to improve its looks over previous generations, which were a bit more plastic looking. The 935 features metallic buttons, a linear edging and clear colour display.

Thick screen bezel; Garmin Connect app still overwhelming
Garmin's Forerunner 935 is essentially a carbon copy of the Fenix 5, but with a few sacrifices for the sake of price -and that, ironically, probably makes it a better buy for all but the most hardcore athletes and outdoor trekkers.
It wouldn't exactly make a killer title for a Jeremy Kyle show, but the big question in wearables right now is ‘are smartwatches now good enough to challenge dedicated sport watches'?
The Garmin Forerunner 935 was announced last month and as I continue actively training for my first full marathon in June I've spent the last few weeks testing out the Forerunner 935 and comparing it to other GPS wearables.
