User questions & answers

Question:	Is this watch waterproof
Answer:	your best answer will be on the garmin website. https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/641375/pn/010-02157-23
Question:	Does this track elevation gain during your run
Answer:	In other words, not as a good as Sapphire. While the Power Glass and Gorilla glass appear slightly less reflective direct sunlight, the Sapphire is the superior material in terms of scratch resistance and I have found there is very little trade off in terms of visibility.
Question:	Would this fit a small woman's wrist
Answer:	The Fenix 6X Pro has detailed topographic maps of North America and also has a basemap that covers the rest of the world. Other map regions can be purchased and added to the watch if required
Question:	What advantage does the 235 have over the 35 to justify $100+ more
Answer:	The screen is made of a material called Power Glass. The Bezel is titanium and the case is a fiber-reinforced polymer with a stainless steel rear cover
Question:	What material is the Solar's pro bezel made of
Answer:	It is an activity tracker. It will track the quality of your sleep, but you must manually turn sleep mode on and off, but it is not an alarm clock. Manual may be found here: http://static.garmin.com/pumac/vivofit_OM_EN.pdf
Question:	How does the strength & scratch resistance of garmin's power glass compare to sapphire and gorilla glass
Answer:	There is no charger. The battery has a shelf life of apx 1 year.
Question:	Which maps come with the fenix 6x pro? only north america or the entire world
Answer:	It did not come in the original package
Question:	Is the 6x Pro Solar Black model made of titanium and does it have a sapphire screen
Answer:	This device does not track your heart rate. More expensive models may do that.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this band original from Garmin
Answer:	aluminum paint should be used. It it's pre-painted it's probably powder coated. You should do some light sanding on painted surfaces to eliminate the gloss.
Question:	Do you receive both the large strap and smaller strap shown in the picture
Answer:	The width is 52 inches long and extends out 2 1/2 inches x 5/8 height.The length can be sortened with a hack saw.
Question:	Does this fit larger wrist like up to 8.5 inch? It has same number of holes as the smaller band that only fits 8.0 inch wrists
Answer:	If you want the doors to be independent on the alarm they will need individual wire pairs. You can wire them in series and use one wire pair for all 3.
Question:	The Garmin website says product 010-12561-02 is "one-size" and comes with two different band lengths. This says there is only one. Is that correct
Answer:	it is just a switch so 12 volts will be ok, what are you trying to control and how much current will it draw?

User questions & answers

Question:	How reliable is the Verizon Connected series when you do not have your phone on you? I have not been able to find any reviews on this specific one
Answer:	I don't know about the band size, but the diameter of the cases on most all Expeditions is 40mm....That's too large. It looks like an alarm clock on your arm...I returned the one I bought. Having said that, I would like to have one with a case diameter not exceeding 35mm.
Question:	Will the Verizon connected version still connect to wifi
Answer:	There are eight (8) holes in the strap.
Question:	Does this work with Samsung galaxy
Answer:	I think the band is OK for occasional moisture such as rain, would not wear it the shower or say canoing or kayaking. It has a synthetic suede like backing that absorbs water and takes awhile to dry, especially while worn. I would be OK immersing the watch in water such as swimming ( not diving) but would swap out the exisitng band for a nylon one for those activities. Band looks nice though and is comfortable ( so long as it is not wet)
Question:	Does lte cellular of this watch work outside us
Answer:	In December 2020 this listing included models where the the crown is inset into the bezel for protection (40mm) and models where the crown is unprotected (37mm). In 1944 the standard military field watch was 35mm to 37mm but today 37mm is considered a small watch for women. Some of the most expensive reproductions of WWII watched are also 36mm or 37mm.

User questions & answers

Question:	When in "normal" non-exercise mode, can i set the watch face just to display time, day & date
Answer:	Yes, I wear it as a watch that normally displays time, date and battery life. Then I can toggle thru other displays when I want to see heart rate, steps, weather, calendar, workout, or any of the other features.
Question:	Does the GPS work if it's covered by a jacket or long sleeved shirt
Answer:	I purchased this for my wife so I do not use it however I am a surveyor so I do have vast experience with GPS. GPS signals will not be hindered by thin materials such as cloth. Inside buildings with wood and shingle roofs will throw the location of a bit reducing the accuracy. GPS signals simply do not penetrate metal objects. That being said you should not experience any loss of signal or accuracy using typical clothing items. You may experience some issues if the device was covered with something metallic such as those solar blankets. Perhaps a good experiment to ease your mind is use your cell phone's GPS tucked into your sleeve as the technology is nearly identical in all small consumer products.
Question:	Is it water resistant
Answer:	Yes, it is...I looked at the manual and the water rating is actually 5 ATM (atmospheres), not 5 meters. 5 ATM actually equates to about 50 meters deep, so technically you could swim or shower with this watch just fine. Just be aware that this model doesn't currently have any swim tracking features built in so there's not much of a point to swimming with it anyway (although you can install apps from Garmin Connect IQ, so perhaps there is a swim tracking app on there).Source: http://www.garmin.com/en-US/legal/waterrating(the "Swim" section of the table on that page has a footnote which references devices rated at 5ATM)
Question:	Does this watch have continuous heart rate monitoring like the fitbit surge
Answer:	I am not familiar with the fitbit however this garmin 235 monitors your heart rate constantly as long as you are wearing it. I wear mine even while I am sleeping. It is neat to see my resting heartbeat. Love it!
