Light and complete information

As far as everyone stating they received an asian model, I can say I did not and this was just purchased 02/21I had the previous version had loved it. What I like about this is the heart rate monitor on the wrist now. Also I had a Apple Iwatch 5 that I was using for swimming. Well that did not last long! The water cooked it and Apple warranty was over by a month! 3 rd Iwatch and last Iwatch.Light weight! Compared to IwatchBigger screen! Compared to IwatchI was surprised how this one has more abilities than the last model and the IwatchThe lactic threshold is great for Endurance training.Has find my phone feature!The battery lasts for a week, Apple!!!Always monitoring heart rateTransfer workouts to MyFitnessPalGPS is pretty accurate, when swimming in a pool may be off by 25yards?Running map of Garmin connect is great!! Shows Zones on map after runFor the price just get it.

I Freaking Love This Watch!

Awesome workout buddy and fitness tool. I've had this for about two weeks now, and it works flawlessly for running, biking and swimming. Huge upgrade from my old Garmin 910xt, which after many years finally bonked and started giving ridiculous elevation readings. This watch is lightweight, thin, and I find the wrist-based heartrate monitoring is really excellent; I've not yet paired it with my old chest strap and I probably won't need to. Downloadable and customizable watch faces and widgets make this even more fun and impressive. Auto-uploading works like a champ, no more heading to the computer to plug in the ANT stick after a workout; it auto-uploads activities through my phone using Garmin Connect, and also connects directly to my home wi-fi if my phone is off. Also a useful coach through sleep monitoring, and performance monitoring including training status, VO2 Max, recovery hours needed, weekly training load, and more. Also a good basic smartwatch with regard to receiving messages and alerts when in proximity of your phone, with apps available to extend functionality if you are into it. Finds and locks into satellites within seconds; battery life is astounding; full charge easily lasts more than a week.I also invested in a glass screen protector, which not only protects the watch face but also makes it look a little nicer with a no-smudge glossy shine. Went on perfectly and gives me some peace of mind.

So glad I got the 935 instead of the Fenix 5...

I first bought the Fenix 5 and 5s but returned them both. I just wasn't turned on by those watches as I had hoped I would. I then bought a Fenix 3. I really liked that watch but after a few days I just couldn't see my self running and biking with that thing. It's heft meant I had to keep that beast strapped to my wrist like a tourniquet! So I'm all sad because I was ready to throw down and be a Fenix fan boy when suddenly I start seeing comparisons to the Fenix 5 line and the Forerunner 935? Really? Really, so I got one and man I couldn't be happier. The 935 weighs half as much, does everything that a Fenix 5 does and has WiFi which only the Fenix 5 Sapphires do. Even the straps on this watch feel more comfortable than the ones on the Fenix 5/3. I can sleep with it on and it never feels uncomfortable. And the GPS and other features have been spot on (check the Garmin website Fenix 5 forums to know what I'm talking about). So if you're dead set on chasing the bling go ahead and get a Fenix, but if you will actually run and bike and hike your ass off like I do, definitely get the 935.

Not noticing this piece of high-tech strapped to my arm means I will happily wear it 24x7

I've owned Garmin Fenix 1, 3 and 5S. I wanted a smaller watch and got the 5S, but realized what I really wanted was a lighter one after trying the Garmin 935, so I returned the 5S. I forget I have the 935 on because it is so light while I was always reminded I had the 5S on because of it's weight. Also the screen resolution on the 935 is higher than the 5S (935 resolution is same as the 5 and 5X). For folks saying the 935 is not as durable because it is all 'plastic', it is actually the same reinforced polymer as what is on the Fenix 5 series, except on the 5 you get a steel back and brezel. But the body of the 935 is made from the same reinforced polymer as the core housing as Fenix 5, but just the entire body is uniformly made from the reinforced polymer and that has resulted in a much lighter and thinner watch. It is by all means the same as a Fenix 5, just slimmed down. Not noticing this piece of high-tech strapped to my arm means I will happily wear it 24x7. Garmin has finally made the Fenix 5 I have always wanted with the Forerunner 935.

Sold my AMAZFIT Stratos for this, no regrets

So far this watch is what I needed from the start. I did like the AMAZFIT but this Forerunner is what I really needed. I ride 20-50 miles everyday and need a GPS watch to log all of my rides and upload to STRAVA. This thing excels at that and it also ties into my chest heart monitor from MYZONE and my WAHOO Cadence meter at the same time. Logs everything and upload to STARVA automatically. I also use it INDOORS and it does the same thing except for tracking since it is INDOORS on a stationery bike. If you were thinking about the AMAZFIT and ride a lot, or run!!! Get the GARMIN and skip the AMAZFIT! BTW....battery life is way beyond the AMAZFIT. I am getting about 12 days of work on this watch in battery life compared to 3-5 days on the AMAZFIT.

... 5 Sapphire edition when it first came out and love the device

I had the Garmin Fenix 5 Sapphire edition when it first came out and love the device. Unfortunately, being a full-time nursing student meant having to scrounge for some cash, which ultimately meant selling my Fenix 5. School has eased up just enough for me to pull more hours at work and I was able to get this gem. I was hesitant about the plastic casing, but the device feels very durable while still being light. All the tracking features are working perfectly, which is something even my Fenix 5 couldn't boast. The GPS also acquires a signal much more quickly, so another pro there. The screen is crisp and clear in all lighting situations I have encountered. Wrist HR is as accurate as any of them, which is no fault of the device, so it is kinda accurate most of the time. Syncing even seems fast with this device compared to the Fenix 5, but I also got a new phone, so that may have something to do with it. When I have the money again, I will likely buy the next Fenix, but this is a solid device that I am happy with. I don't know how it will hold up long-term, but I will update if it starts falling apart. Would recommend.

My Perfect Running Watch

I bought this in 2018, and I have never had a problem with it. I use it on long runs and have run a marathon with it. I also use the Garmin Connect software to record and review my workouts. They provide incredible detail, even cadence and elevation. Typically, I set it to charge about weekly.Some people have commented that the watch is large. I am a man of about 220 pounds (100 kilograms), so I did not notice, but this could be an issue for some people. Keep in mind, I had a Timex watch back around 2010, when GPS watches were just coming to the market. The Forerunner 935 seems compact in comparison to the ones from those early days.

A great watch. Glad I got it, even if it’s old.(but new)

Just got this. Brand new out of the box. So far, it has been on my wrist for 13 hours and has used 4% of the battery. I have a Samsung Galaxy Watch, the S3 frontier and my experience was the battery is terrible. In fact it’s unreliable. Sometimes it will use 85 % in 12 hours and sometimes it will use 60% in 12 hours. It never uses less than that, unless it’s on power saving mode. It does have an Amoled screen, so it is prettier than the Garmin, but the text on the Garmin is actually crisper on the Notifications. Suffice to say, the Garmin is a Fitness tracker with smart watch functions, while the Samsung is a smart watch with a few fitness functions.

Spot-on data tracking and consistency.

This is my third or fourth Garmin multisport watch over the last decade-plus. Every iteration gets better. I have Garmin Vector 2 pedals on one bike and Vector 3 on another. Calibration and pairing is seamless as is power-metering. Distance tracking via satellite is spot on and consistent every time without fail (runs and rides). Swim split tracking is perfect. No complaints thus far.Configurations for multiple activity-tracking screens is easier to customize than previous, similar Garmin watches.As a bonus, there are countless watch faces from which to select and manage, all via the Garmin Connect app. This is why Garmin is the best. I’ll never buy any other product but theirs.
