I currently have the Fitbit Charge 2, which is doing fine, but I'm thinking of possibly changing this in time and wondered if anyone has one of the Garmin Forerunner trackers.
I've read about the Garmin Forerunner 35 GPS Running Watch with Wrist-Based Heart Rate and the 235, for mid range price, but would love to know peeps experience of one of these please.
Thanks so much lovelies xx π

Hi, I have a 235 and love it. I'm pretty sure it's an overhead (the 35 would do the job) but bought it anyway.
I track not only my runs with it, but also walks and swims. Tried double-checking the HR monitor accuracy and found it great (although there are some reports it doesn't work that well for everyone).
There are an activity tracker (steps, calories, all-day heart rate) which I turned off eventually as I'm afraid of relying too much on it.
Cons: pricey; not very good-looking (it's all plastic); lacks native apps for non-running activities; the mobile app has some quirks (did not sync at the beginning, then all of a sudden started working, still can't figure out what happened).
I have no prior experience with fitness trackers, smart watches or sport watches.
I recently got a FR 35, and I really like it. I think it does most of the things the 235 does, but it's a bit less clunky and quite a bit cheaper.I'd recommend it.
