Customer Ratings & Reviews

Gps is fast to react. Screen could be brighter. Hr is accurate.

The strap fits great and is comfortable. The presets are convenient for cycling and running. The fact that it turns off GPS for indoor settings without me having to do it manually each time is great. I only have to choose the type of workout and everything is set for indoor or outdoor. The recovery advisor and VO2Max are features that made this watch a worthy buy. The HR monitor seems pretty accurate and shows 4hrs of HR data on the watch. Battery life is better than I expect. With all the data being tracked and the syncing to the GarminConnect app on my phone (my old watch only synced 2 times a day), I expected a much shorter battery life. but, it last longer that my 225. Upgrading from the Forerunner 225, which has simple and easy navigation, the navigation on the 235 was a bit awkward. Not the smoothest navigation in my opinion, but I am comparing it to the 225. Overall, great watch. I dont use most of the advanced features yet (downloads, watch faces, and IQ apps) but my favorite features are the Race predictor, recovery advisor, HR accuracy, calendar on the watch, and VO2Max.

For the price it’s a great smart watch overall. It’s comfortable and lightweight, the functionality and GPS work well, and it’s surprisingly durable for being all plastic. I’m not a fan of the os or the Garmin IQ process that you have to use for watch faces and all that. There’s a fine line between well priced and cheap though, and if you’re not easily impressed, I would recommend getting a higher model.

Before I switched to the Garmin 6x Pro Solar, this watch got me through my training runs. This was a step up from the Forerunner 225, which lasted years for me. The 235 provides heart rate, steps, gps, setting training and intervals, other miscellaneous workouts, and tracking training runs on Garmin Connect. Is a great watch for runners, walkers, and other fitness enthusiasts.

Very easy to use. Tracks a lot of information to help improve performance. Sync's to GPS very quickly.

I love this watch! I had it prior, and then got rid of it because I was gifted the GPS Apple Watch. I was extremely frustrated with the GPS on the Apple Watch that I decided to purchase this again. It is very great for running. I haven't used much of the other features, but seems great. The watch is extremely lighweight. The only opportunity is that I have a small wrist, so the face of the watch is a little big.

This is the perfect running watch. GPS is very accurate with pacing data screens to choose. Long battery life...quick easy charging. Has Garmin connect app to download workouts with detail. Sleek design...easy to whip off! This is not a touch screen watch but awesome none the less. Highly recommend. Best Buy had this watch for a great price!

The battery life so so good and so worth it over the Surface 4. I did homework, watched a movie, and did online shopping and still had battery for the next day at school.

I have my watch for over a month already and I’m satisfied with it I like the GPS I like the idea that you could set your watch to take the mile splits automatically .

Love this watch. I had a Samsung watch and the battery and function is so much better. You can't reply to text messages like you can with the name brand smart watches but if you want a lightweight watch for tracking heart rate and workouts/runs/bike rides this is perfect. Battery life is insane!

A great product - typical Garmin quality (great), with a lot of features. Bought for my daughter, who is an elite Spartan racer. She wears it all the time while training, but doesnt risk it during a race (too wet, muddy, shock-danger filled...) Now, of course, my son wants one - but I think I'll get him a Golf version, since that's his sport of choice.

I have been using the Garmin Forerunner for many years and have always loved them. I had to upgrade to the 235 this year since the 230 is no longer available. I love the added heart rate feature. I really like the frost blue color but I would have loved to get my purple color back (from the 230). Many features to use with runs! Easy to access GPS!

Automatically syncs to the app on my phone. Display easy to read while running. I can toggle between screens for overall run information, or to another screen for lap information. Pretty accurate heart rate monitor. Very quickly syncs to GPS signal. Overall, outstanding for running.

This is a great upgrade from my previous Garmin watch. It picks up the GPS quickly, usually before I step outside for my run, bike, or walk. I like that it syncs with my iPhone and tracks my sleep. I purchased this watch when it was discounted by $100 for Christmas. Great deal.

This running watch can also double as a daily activity tracker. The GPS is fast on the uptake, and unlike some other trackers, does not require me to carry my phone when using it. Also, the GPS is more accurate than many models I've tried, and super-fast in locating satellites for positioning. You can get heart-rate readings without a chest strap, too!

The gps on this device is great and lasts longer then most smart watches. I love how well it helps me to keep my pace when running.

Easy to use as a heart rate / activity monitor without any manual reading. Battery life can be 7 days with the GPS on & Bluetooth off. Use after-market accessories like a tempered glass cover & silicon bezel cover to keep the watch like new. Syncing & using the great web tools has a learning curve.

I love this watch don't ever want to take it off! A bit expensive but it is totally worth it. Combined the Fitbit with my garmin forerunner 10 now I only have to wear one!

Absolutely love this watch. I generally run 4-5 days a week, sometimes with GPS and sometimes using indoor run, and the battery will last me roughly 5-6 days. Watch is easy to use and sync wjth Garmin Connect and Strava. GPS is accurate and haven't had any issues with the heart rate sensor.

I love this watch! I am training for LA Marathon and needed a watch that could give me all my stats. This is the best running watch I've ever owned. It does my heart rate, miles, steps, elevation gain .... the battery last a long time! I even ran in the rain for 4 hours the other day and it still works!
