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

Hands down I love this watch. I was a bit cautious at first but I shower with it take it to the beach you name it and it has not been damaged. The charge lasts me about 5 days give or take as well. The smart notifications are handy being able to read messages form all sorts of apps and being able to play and pause music from my phone.

I purchased this just over a month now and love the watch. The best feature is the GPS which means I dont have to carry my phone with me anymore. It does everything you it to. Tracks your steps, your location, fastest km's, and so much more. A must for those who love to track what they do each day.

It is light and comfortable on hand. Battery performance is correct as prescribed. Accurate GPS and heart rate. Very good for running, indoor running, biking, indoor biking, hiking, and multi sports. Fast charging, easy to use, supportive Garmin APP. Overall it is a perfect sports watch for everyday use. My only disappointment is that I couldn't use it to measure my strength training.

Very good, I loved it
Great product of good use, precious useful
I tell everyone who does not want to lose the time
It works super well, it helps me a lot in the sport.I used to run, gym and wake up to work.
besides practical it's very pretty
everyone likes my noo style

I bought this one for my husband as it can be used when jogging as well as swimming. It also does heart rate and you can use the app to download all of the data too. He loves it as an all round sports watch but he also likes to wear it during the day as a watch. He can receive text messages on it too so if he's in meetings he can read them without lifting his phone.

If you're a slightly serious runner or jogger, then I recommend the Garmin 235 Forerunner. Featuring in-built GPS and heart rate monitor, this light and stylish watch was an upgrade after I gave my Fitbit away. And I'm so happy I did, Fitbit was a bit of a giggle, but lacked credible features. I can do so much more with my Garmin and the battery seems to last forever.

Before I use to carry my phone when I run, now that I have purchased Garmin forerunner 235, the only accessory I need to carry is my Garmin, it does everything. Easy to use, and has a lot of features, it also syncs easily to your phone so you can analyse the activity you have done. I wouldn't leave without my Garmin Forerunner 235.

A fantastic watch for running. Accurate GPS measurement - was 100 % accurate over the 21 km Good Coast half. Heart rate accurate when used for running but not so accurate when doing HIIT. Great for counting your steps ect. I have not used for anything other than running so can't comment on accuracy of swimming feature etc.
the first one I received out of the box was dead but JB HI FI replaced no questions asked . Store assistant seemed very surprised - said very unusual for Garmin.

Weak screen for a sports watch. I purchased 3 and all have cracked the screens with minor impacts, GUESS WHAT....they charge you 70% of the price of a new watch and only offer a second hand change over watch NO REPAIR SERVICE available in Australia. So unlike most sports watches where you can go on ebay and buy a screen for $20 Garmin have set up this scam to rip their customers off

The Forerunner 235 is a great running watch at a great price, GPS, built in wrist heart rate sensor, step tracker, bluetooth, great battery life, the list goes on. More than an entry level GPS watch, captures some awesome data, easy to use, enough tech to keep you interested and having fun.

The bad: It can take some time to get a GPS signal, depending on the weather. When the sky is clear, it only takes less than 10 seconds.

The good: The heart rate monitor is decent, if not close to perfect. If you don't mind a 90% accuracy, this is your best bet.

Bought this one at a discounted price and has all the relevant features like heart rate, step tracker and GPS. The bluetooth functionality also lets you see notifications from phone. Another handy feature is being waterproof and also caters for cyclists as well as an indoor running mode like treadmill.

This watch is great for running, with excellent tracking statistics and information about runs. The heart rate monitor works well enough, and the interface is simple and easy to use. Can also be used for cycling, but not ideal as it does not have as much specific information such as cadence.
Battery is good and lasts a week under normal usage.
Also can function to record steps, sleep and the like.
Has limited function when paired with phone to display notifications.

This is a great running watch, key word is running as it does not work the best for cycling and doesn't really work at all for swimming. Excellent data details that you can download wirelessly to your phone.

Cons would be the size and shape for some. It is also quite expensive for what it does. There are much cheaper options out there for heart rate/pedometer readings.

Pro, looks great! Comfy to wear even tho its pretty big. Waterproof. Controls arent clumbsy.
