Buy this if you are looking for an entry-level fitness tracker. It isn't pretty looking nor does it offer the complete functionality of a smartwatch. But fitness tracking is what it is meant to do and it does that pretty effectively.

Accurate fitness tracking; long battery life; reliable heart rate sensor

Plastic body; slow GPS connectivity

I bought this a week ago and it hasn't disappointed. Simple to use, works after an hours charge straight out the box. Does everything you could want on your wrist. Saves me having to carry my phone on runs.

Love my new Garmin. I can step outside and go for a run or ride and it tracks my mileage, HR, speed, etc. without having to carry my phone. Very freeing! Only complaint is that I have to charge using the USB port on my computer, as the AC plug adaptor I have will not charge it.

My old Soleus started acting up so I searched for a replacement. This time I wanted a light, functional and simple to navigate watch. Because I have a Garmin Forerunner 201 for my bike (and like it a lot) I gave the 35 a try. It was also reasonably priced at $169. I really like this watch.

Never thought I'd wear a watch again but after purchasing this i'm Back to wearing one daily. I bought this to replace my forerunner 10 for running but the other functionality it offers along with the garmin connect app make it so much more than just a runer's Watch.

With GPS, heart-rate tracking and ANT+ sensor support, there's no need to pay more for a fully featured sports watch

Cheap; Excellent GPS tracking; Long battery life; Supports ANT+ sensors

No swim tracking; Lacks newer features such as stress tracking

I absolutely love this watch. I hadn't worn a watch for years, but I wear this one all the time(except for work, I am in construction). The watch is perfect for a novice runner such as myself. The heart rate monitor is great to have. Makes listening to music while a run so much easier as well.

had this watch quite a while. It's good for the price. However the heart rate sensor isn't 100% accurate. a lot of the time it says I'm 160 when I'm not that out of breath, and sometime the opposite where I'm going 100% and it's only registered 105.

I have had this watch for about 2 years now, very durable and works as advertised. The only downside id say is I dont think step counter is entirely accurate. I have walked on treadmills with it and it doesn't always seem to accumulate steps, I can go 1 mile on a treadmill and it will sometimes only...

Simple functionality and long battery life are plus points. I'm a long time Garmin watch user having had a Forerunner 10 for about 6 yrs. The Forerunner 35 keeps the simplicity of the 10 but adds a whole chunk of functions with the added benefits of Bluetooth pairing with my iPhone.
