Hi guys, after using my gps device " Garmin Forerunner 235" coming to three years, its the time I give a in-depth review for this GPS timepiece.
I bought this product in 2017 at RM1500 approximately USD350. This gps watch has built-in heart rate monitor and it is top of it range at that price during that time. This is one of the most popular device among runners.
I only use this device to run, therefore I didnt buy a multisport Garmin watch (swim,run, and cycling) which didnt really served my purpose. It can records 200 activities, and Garmin Connect mobile app can record up to 12 months activity.
This watch is extremely light as if I didnt wear anything at all. The GPS reception is superb and I can customize the interface just by dowbloading some app from Google playstore. The screen is huge which I can monitor the pace, heart rate and time easily just by glancing at it. It comes with an extra strap which I can interchange with the original one.
Battery life is good enough which it only used up around 45-50% after a 42km marathon. So far i had used it for 5 marathons and still looking good and durable. The only set back for this product is that the built-in heart rate monitor is not very accurate. I hope Garmin can improve the sentivity of the sensor in future forerunner series.
Aside from rhat, this product is ideal for any level of runners. The price had dropped to USD290 and is still value to money.
