Review on Unleash Your Running Potential with the Garmin Forerunner 235 GPS Running Watch by Yani Bambang ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best thing for the money, glad I did it.

I use 5 years. And some comments cause genuine amazement at their disposability. They were buggy from the very beginning. Specifically, the delay after pressing the "lap" button during interval training. I pressed it, and the cutoff occurred a little later. When the clock is turned off, the screen mysteriously goes out, but not quickly, but by parts of the pixels. And this is every time. It happened that they hung. Thought a 15 second reset wouldn't help. But manipulations with the connection to the computer helped. If you load the data screens, then here you will know the real brakes. The search for satellites is always long. In the forest, he lies a lot in pace. That means distance too. I will ate the software as soon as it becomes available. Disgusting alarm clock. It seems like a lot of negative has accumulated, but I still use it. I carefully read each review and can answer those that raise questions: - The heart rate monitor on the wrist did not work normally and will not work. Use a chest strap. You can buy non-original and it will work. The manufacturer does not specifically block anything, at least not yet. - There will be a delay in the display of pace, speed or heart rate. But not critical. Not a single gadget responds instantly. - There is an alarm clock. - Any of the workouts can be saved, not just running. - Haven't been able to get rid of them yet. Even at sea. Only the key from salt water stuck, washed with a tap. In the pool, you can press the keys under water, will not leak. Although I have come across such stories.

Pros
  • - a light weight - screen size (even larger than Garmin 735) - autonomy of work - endurance - Ease of managing data screens and setting intervals
Cons
  • - glitches - I don't feel comfortable wearing it like a regular watch - glitches
