User questions & answers

Question:	Will this track hiit workouts
Answer:	Dear Customer, If you find your headband untied, that is a normal condition, it is not untied actually, you can find the knot again. Here is a instruction about how to find the knot back we quote from another helpful customer: Find the seam of the bottom of your headband and make sure the inside of the seam (the part that is surged and sticking up) is facing up on the inside of the loop of the band with the 2 parts of the band spreading away from it on either side. Then the knot will appear again.
Question:	would this track distance on a bicycle or kayak
Answer:	Yes I have found that they slide on me. They are very nice but don’t fit my head. So they aren’t for everyone. But the fabric and quality are nice. If you are usually unsuccessful at headbands I wouldn’t buy as you cannot return them.
Question:	hello i was wondering if this watch would connect with the strava app and garmin connect app as well as any apple ios device
Answer:	Hello, this item has good elasticity allows for extending length to 42 cm/ 16.5 inches in unilateral, suitable for both men and women at most ages. Thanks.
Question:	Is the charging clip different from what comes standard with model that sells for $199 and no mention of a charging clip
Answer:	I believe so. I have thin hair and it works for me. For some reason some colors seem to work better than others

User questions & answers

Question:	How long is band
Answer:	Yes these stay in place much better than another set (different brand) I purchased. My only complaint is that they are too wide and have be folded in half to not look like a bonnet.
Question:	is the Garmin 235 waterproof
Answer:	It helps with sweat absorption better than terry cloth. Nothing slippery or cheap about it . It’s absolutely great I highly recommended this product. I have bought numerous headbands before this one and had always some complaints like not absorbing sweat enough, to slippery , to narrow etc .This is the ONE.Verry satisfied user
Question:	Is this watch (garmin 235) has interval running options
Answer:	I also believe it is cotton or a cotton blend. They are soft and stretchy.
Question:	Is this solar powered
Answer:	I wear them with glasses all the time. They're not too tight so you can easily move them around to make them more comfortable.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it track or can I add snowboarding as one of the the sports
Answer:	Sort of.... it offers an "other" activity on the watch which will GPS track time, distance and heartrate. Once uploaded into the app you can then change activity type to snowboarding in the app (you can choose between backcountry or "resort" snowboarding)
Question:	Does this watch have GPS
Answer:	yes, it works well for the price point. I had this before i upgraded to the 935. GPS is the same on both.
Question:	What’s the intended country of use? each model has shown europe, asia, us. this one does not indicate. the cheaper ones have been non-us so far
Answer:	Mine was for the United States
Question:	Can you see the pace your entire run out do you have to toggle screens to get to it each time? I like to check my pace very often
Answer:	Entire run if you choose. You can actually have up to four (4) data screens on the watch at once in the same screen. You can set up the screen to have 1-4 metrics. You can have up to 2 screens total, I believe, so 8 metrics if you toggle back and forth. I just keep total time, lap time, lap pace and lap count on one and some of the other stuff in the second screen. It’s designed to show what you choose to be shown. It’s a great feature.

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!

Product description

The Forerunner 35 is Garmin's simple solution to gathering biometric training data during the simplest form of endurance training. It's built to be a stand-alone GPS running companion that handles everything from heart rate monitoring to route mapping with no phone or ancillary heart rate strap or footpod needed. Garmin assures us that you can "Just put on the Forerunner 35 and go"; however, since it's so unobtrusive and its benefits extend well beyond fitness training, chances are good you'll already have it on. Since that's the case, you can skip step one and proceed directly to "go." The Forerunner 35 dials down the functionality of some of Garmin's more expensive models, resulting in a simplified interface for tracking running and walking without the clutter of multisport features. It's something of a bridge between the vivofit and Forerunner lines, combining biometric and lifestyle data with the added oomph of GPS tracking and route mapping. Compared to the vivoactive, it sacrifices multisport functionality while adding the above-mentioned heart rate monitor. If you're primarily a pedestrian athlete, then the vivoactive's golf, swim, and cycling modes won't be missed. The heart rate monitor will prove invaluable, though, both during training sessions and your everyday life. While you're logging workouts, the Forerunner 35's GPS capabilities track distance and speed while mapping the route. While these features do extend to time in the saddle, the unit is designed primarily for running. The addition of Garmin Move IQ means the Forerunner 35 transitions seamlessly from running to walking while keeping a constant eye on steps taken. The optical, wrist-based heart rate monitor is a constant feature, though, and while it may not offer the precision of a trained medical professional constantly checking your pulse, it does keep you abreast of exertion levels including intensity minutes. This lets it manage interval training for you, letting you focus on exertion ...

• BUILT-IN GPS - Built-in to acquire satellites quickly to track how far, how fast and where you run, even under tree cover. No Phone required!
• 24/7 HEART RATE MONITORING - WHRM gives you heart rate all day and night -no additional strap required.
• VIBRATION ALERTS - Helpful vibration alerts notify you of running prompts, activity tracking milestones, smart notifications and virtual pacing progress.
• UPDATED DISPLAY - New high resolution display that is perfect for indoor/outdoor viewing.
• SMART CONNECTIVITY - Auto uploads, smart notifications, LiveTrack, music controls and automatic SW updates.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this store music and play to a blue tooth headset
Answer:	No It is a TACTICAL watch, was made for military use. I have it and have used it in Syria, Iraq and several other countries. It is a really good watch and has a great battery life, playing music would kill the battery.
Question:	Can you download courses created from a 3rd party site as a .gpx or .tcx file? Or do you have to exclusively use Garmin Connect &/or Explore for that
Answer:	For course creation other than Garmin Connect Garmin devices are compatible with Strava and Map My Run. For more information contact us at [email protected] or visit our Support Center, https://support.garmin.com/en-US/ Thanks Jenny
Question:	Does this watch have a great compass,a good one, or none at all? I bought it for my son for Christmas the compass is an important feature for him
Answer:	Good Compass but not great Hold down on one of the buttons and the watch face becomes a compass. It shows the degrees (0-360) and the general direction (SE for example). You would not use this watch to plot a course on a map. For that, you can buy a compass for less than $20 that lie flat on a map, can be adjusted for a magnetic correction, they have lines, etc.
Question:	I do desert exploring on a polaris rzr. can i track my course while riding and then use it to return home the way i came
Answer:	Yes, this function is available when set to a GPS activity. You can navigate back to the starting point of your current activity in a straight line or along the path you traveled

User questions & answers

Question:	To get the advanced running data and analysis, i know i need a chest strap. does the strap need to be hrm run, or can it be hrm tri
Answer:	I have the HRM Tri and I can get all advanced running data and analysis. The only difference between them is that the Tri version has a memory inside, so it stores data from the swimming portion. Other than that, they are the same.
Question:	How is the durability of this watch
Answer:	My worked great for 18 months. I loved it. Wore it daily. 2 full ironman races 3 halves and several other smaller races. Then I used it for 2 Xterra races. It quit halfway through Worlds on Maui. Bummer. Near as I can tell one of the buttons is frozen. I guess mountain biking is too much for it. I'm ordering a second watch but this time I will save it for training and races only. Get a cheapo Timex for daily wear and no more Xterra races with the Garmin just to be safe.
Question:	Can the watch be charged while running
Answer:	All the functions seem to work with the charging clip attached, but the clip would be incredibly uncomfortable if attached to the watch while being worn. The clip attaches to the watch at the "3 o'clock" position and is fairly bulky. It would likely interfere with the function of the on-board heart rate monitor since it clips to the bottom and top of the watch.
Question:	Will this sync with my Commodore
Answer:	What a funny thread. Hey, I had a Commodore 64 and a tape recorder for storage! And before that TR99 4A. It was too expensive to expand. Nice piece of early 80s computer history.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the 45s only come in white and purple
Answer:	It is waterproof. I’ve swam with it in a pool and in the ocean (I was a little nervous about that, but no problems at all).
Question:	Will this watch sync up to a Samsung Note
Answer:	Yes it does, it also tracks elevation gain while cycling
Question:	does this come with a charger
Answer:	I have tiny wrists! The 235 face literally goes past the width of my wrist. The 35 is a nice fit. Bigger than what I'm use to wearing on my wrist in general but still looks good!
Question:	Is it touch screen
Answer:	I am looking at these two watches as well. I just went to my local running store today to talk to them about the 235 vs the 35 and they basically told me that they are the same watch except for thesefew differences.... the 235 has a color screen, longer battery life, and a few more running options like race pace estimating, V02 Max estimator, etc. If you go to the Garmin site and do the compare feature you can get a pretty good look at the differences. I also downloaded the manuals for both. I'm going to go with the 35. The extra features the 235 has are super nice but I don't think they are personally necessary for me. I run 5K's, half-marathons, and full-marathons and the 35 looks like it will be sufficient for me. Also, i'm a 34 year old female and the 234 looked HUGE on my wrist!
