I love my Forerunner 935! The product arrived on time and in perfect condition. I am replacing my Apple Watch 2 with the 935. I mainly used them for running, cycling, and day-to-day goals. In battery life there is no comparison. The 935 usually lasts all week, but I had to charge the Apple watch each night. This allows me to get statistics and habits in my sleep patterns since I can wear it to bed. The 935 tracks more data points for running, and tracks more activities. Everything is uploaded (quite fast) to Garmin Connect, so I can see everything in one place. On my Apple watch I was always switching apps (Strava, Apple Activities, Nike Run Club), so I couldn't see all activities in one place. In fact it's very difficult to get the info from Apple Activity exported - I had to download another app just to do that. I am extremely pleased with the 935. It tracks more than I know how to use, right now.

There are several reviews about receiving Asian versus rest of the world version. Mine was sold by Amazon directly and is the rest of the world version. 4 runs and 1 bike ride a week provides about 10 days of battery life. GPS is very accurate. Watch feels lighter on wrist than expected so I hardly notice that I have it on. Overall great value for less than $279 purchase price.

I am a Garmin-lifelong user, and consolidated my Vivofit 2 step tracker and Forerunner 920TX with the Forerunner 935. Before I settled on the 935, I bought (and returned) a Fenix 5. I was reluctant to give up my Vivofit 2, which I had for two years and before that had the original Vivofit. Both has year-long battery life, and were great everyday, wearable items. I liked the Fenix 5, but it was too clunky and on the heavy side to wear 24/7, but the battery life was excellent for a rechargeable device. However, the 935 is perfect. Great battery life, relatively light weight, and a great screen that I don't need reading glasses to view. I use it for running outdoors, the treadmill, indoor rowing, lifting, and biking. With all of these activities, I am still getting about 13 days off a charge. What also is nice is that Garmin's connect, interfaces easily with each devise, and is easy to use.

Had the Forerunner 235 and used it for a lot of years. Here are some of the improvements I have noticed: A lot more information in terms of fitness monitoring. However, the best part is that the watch's accelerometer senses wrist movement that will allow you to turn on the light while running with the flick of your wrist. The interface is very good. I have used it for golf and it makes a pretty good tool for keeping score and measuring distance. It will track your shot distance for each stroke through a round. The sleep function is very interesting and and the heart rate analysis is very good especially when you look at both of those on the app or your computer. The watch works great with a phone in terms of allowing others to track you. This was a great buy and worth the money over the 235.

I've had Samsung and fitbit and you can't even compare to Garmin. I just upgraded and gave my old one to a friend. The battery on this one last forever. I probably only charge it once a week. We just finished riding 220 miles in three days and I had the GPS on tracking every mile and at the end of three days I still had battery life. Best watch ever. Never looking at another Samsung or fitbit again.

I've had it for some 6 months now. When I purchased it I did not plan on wearing it every day, but as soon as I opened the box I changed my mind.I wear it as my regular watch now, day & night, letter for the "sleep" feature.Battery life is awesome, lasts more than a week.I also got the HRM-Run chest strap which opened up a new series of metrics for me that I did not even know existed.Very reliable data so far, the GPS engine seems better than my Garmin 310XT.Also like the Android app, and the fact that Garmin have been pumping out sofwater updates and new features for the watch.The barometric altitude feature does not seem to be very accurate but it does not bother me.The sleep feature sometimes will register more sleep than actually happened, again no big deal.The watch interface is easy to learn and to see, I wear reading glasses but I can see the running metrics without glasses while running.Great watch if you are an exercise junkie.

This is the best sport device I've had. I was between this and the Phoenix 5, and decided this because it's lighter. It's very comfortable and you don't even notice you are wearing it.Pro:- can install extra apps- GPS accuracy is excellent- clock is very light and comfortable- HR sensor seems to work fine- running on the treadmill learns your pace with every session and calculate the distance quiete accurately- Garnin App is very good and complete with lot of info- battery life is great, at least you make a heavy use of the GPSCons:- a little expensive, it's just a clock- I would like to have a stopwatch functionality built in- glass is not very resistant to scratches (be careful)- smart watch capabilities are limited, but I'm OK with that

Am liking this watch after about 3 months. Battery life seems pretty good. I’m getting about a 8-10 days with about 4-5 hours of GPS use with trail running. Distance seems accurate compared to the routes I previously ran with a Suunto. Lots of good features and the iPhone app seems intuitive. I like that you can change the user bedtime and wake up hours since I do shift work that changes every few weeks. It still requires some editing though since the watch has a hard time telling exactly when I went to bed. Have never had to wait more than 10-15 seconds to lock onto satellites for a GPS run. Seems pretty durable so far as I tend to be rough with watches. Notifications work well. Can’t speak to swimming or biking tracking though since I only run.

Great watch for running! I upgraded from the Garmin 6xx (can't remember the exact model) which I thought was great on its own. This watch is even better. Although I like the heartrate monitor on the wrist, sometimes it will register way higher than what I am actually at. On some runs it will spike up to 170+ when I am still at a jog, eventually it will come down, but sometimes it will be up there for over 20 minutes. Not a huge deal, but it does mess with your stats. Now the watch and software analysis tools I use think I was working at maximum effort for 20+ minutes when I was just at a recovery jog.But overall, I think this is a great product. I think the GPS accuracy (for distance measurement purposes) could be improved, but that may be beyond Garmin. Great apps to connect other fitness tools and I like the Garmin Connect app. Easy to connect to all the other apps out there to share the data.
