good watch for tracking running and general cardio activities, not to useful for other activities such as gym or sports. Screens are a bit slow to respond but nothing too bad. Battery life is good, can get about 3 days through daily use whilst connected to bluetooth and using heart rate monitor.

I've owned this for a few years now, and whilst it was great at first it has slowly started to develop problems.
The bluetooth is constantly struggling to connect and sync, and the app is temperamental at best.
Spare parts are difficult to get in Australia, and any repairs will take a while if your repairer can get parts.

Great product but sometimes has issues with connectivity with Bluetooth. Fast and accurate GPS system. Monitors my sleep quite well. Has a built in alarm system and has thousands of applications you can download on the Garmin App website. You can customize it to the Garmin of your dreams. Beware the screen can be scratched easily!

Good product. Have a approach s 6 watch for golf that I use but wanted something a bit more street savy. Got an Apple Watch s 3 as well but this this one takes the cake. Not too badly priced and if you get from a good supplier then great

I tried to avoid spending a lot of money on a fitness watch for a long time - I've used apps on my phone, MS band, motoactv, etc. But nothing stands up to Garmin watches. Here's why: it's accurate, locates GPS extremely fast, waterproof, and just works exactly how you want it to. I recommend taking a look at the manual to make sure you check out all the functions (i.e. I didn't know about the ability to lock your watch from accidentally pressing buttons, turning off notifications, etc. for too long). I hate carrying a bulky phone with me but even for those of you that don't mind, the garmin is a lot easier to turn on/off tracking if you're stopped at a traffic light or something - it also triangulates better as it uses more GPS satellites.

Bought my watch last year and have used it a lot since. The GPS connects quickly when I set it up for a run and I find the GPS tracking to be very accurate. I also enjoy the modified step count goal based on your previous activity.

Two downsides. The heart rate monitor isn't the most accurate and the Bluetooth may not connect with all phones. But if you are aware of these issues buying the watch, no regrets!

This is way more than just a watch. My new Garmin was simple to connect with garmin apps on my phone which help me to track everything from my runs and swims to my daily meal planning, with comfortable heart rate monitor built in. Bluetooth features mean I literally keep notified on the run.

I've owned this Garmin for work months and am happy with it. The charge hold is very good. If GPS is not used, charge can hold for week or 2. It is easy to use once you get hang of navigation. Looks good and doesn't feel like wearing a sport watch.

This is a great GPS watch that only needs to be recharged once a week. It also constantly tracks your heart rate and if you wear it to bed, it tracks your sleep. The android version of the software is good and even tracks your runs and other activities including a map of your route and splits and times for each km. The android notifications are basic but works. Great watch for running and cycling.

I bought this watch just over 6 months ago to use on my frequent bike rides to work. It is fantastic and allows me to track where I've been, generates useful elevation and heart rate graphs and keeps a record of how far I have rode. I also like the pedometer function and am always trying to achieve my 10k steps/day. I got this watch on special for quite cheap but would be willing to pay the RRP because it is great and has helped me continue to achieve my fitness goals.

I bought a Garmin 235 in November and really loved its functionality and ease of use. The problem was that it stopped working by December, and Garmin has refused to replace it because I charged it using a third party USB charger. I'm not sure what caused the problem with the watch, but if it can't be charged by using a wall charger then it strikes me as too fragile to be of much use.

Bought to replace a Tom Tom cardio whose battery life was not long enough for my needs. I have a heart condition that warrants checking pulse when exercising. I ride for about 5 hours twice a week and the battery has never gone flat during a ride. Statistics reported are extensive and perhaps go a bit too far. I prefered the Tom Tom reporting but am getting used to Garmin. (Tom tom graphs have two variables superimposed but Garmin only has single variables.) I am finding interest in resting heart rates - they vary from night to night.
The activities covered don't seem to be extensive.
I haven't seen how to download raw data but that might be me.

I was given this watch for Christmas and am now addicted. I wear it every day and it really gives me the motivation to keep moving and try and improve on the previous day. I love the fact that it doesn't need a chest strap so it is much more comfortable. The information it gives is great, although not always 100% accurate and connects well with my phone.

I started off using Fitbit but it broke after 1 year. I started looking into Garmin and only then I realised what I was missing out on. The 235 has GPS build-in which means I can reduce my phone battery usage - or even leave the phone at home if I want to. The 235 has everything I need to get out to run! The software syncs up when connected to phone. Garmin Connect web portal also provides comprehensive activity information.

I bought this for myself but teenage son has 'borrowed' it and is in love with it. I don't think I'm getting it back and will probably buy another.
It tracks lots of useful stuff and it's pretty easy to navigate and read.
Hopefully tracking our running progress will lead to more of same!

Something I never thought I would ever buy, but received one as a christmas gift and now can't go out on a run without it
Easy to wear and read this is an amazing gadget that keeps you aware of the distances you travel each day
Thoroughly recommend and wish I had brought one a long time ago
