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.

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.

The Garmin Forerunner 35 is a good, but unexceptional, running watch. It has a safe design, connects fairly quickly to GPS satellites, and lasts a while on a charge. However, if you want a GPS watch with more features, I would suggest spending an extra $30 for the TomTom Spark 3 Cardio + Music.

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...

We've almost reached the point where not owning a fitness tracker is as taboo as loudly answering your phone in a train's quiet carriage or breaking out a selfie stick, well, anywhere.

Accurate fitness tracking; strong battery life; reliable heart rate sensor; elegant app with strong data breakdown

Basic and boxy design; sleep tracking fooled by removing the watch; GPS connection not the fastest

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.

For $199.99, the Garmin Forerunner 35 certainly isn't the least expensive fitness tracker on the market. If you're looking for built-in GPS and heart rate monitoring, however, it's one of the best values you'll find. It allows you to track bike rides, walks, and runs, and view your resting and continuous heart rate, as well as your heart rate zones. It's all wrapped up in a waterproof design that has long battery life, push notifications, and the ability to control music playback on your phone. It's a great option if you need GPS, but if you can live without that feature, look at the Fitbit Charge 2 ($149.95 at Fitbit) . It costs a bit less and remains our Editors' Choice.
