Overview

Garmin builds this button operated running watch around built-in GPS, with a resin band and a fiber-reinforced polymer case. The package holds the Forerunner 935, a charge cable and manuals.

Built-in GPS, a long battery and wide phone support suit a serious runner who tracks sessions. The listing says little about training features, maps or how the numbers are shown on the screen.

Who it's for

Runners who track distance, heart rate and sleep and sync to a phone get a capable tracker. Someone who wants a touchscreen, or a published list of training and map features, should check before ordering.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Long battery life
  • Wide phone support
Cons
  • Training features not listed
  • Button control only
  • Heart rate sensor not named
  • Charge cable needed

Performance notes

Built-in GPS records the route without a phone, while heart rate is listed among the metrics without naming the sensor. Battery life drops when GPS and other sensors run continuously. Syncing to a phone adds data to the companion app.
