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:	If using the chest strap, does the watch automatically use the data from the chest strap
Answer:	In my experience, this watch does not communicate with the sensor attached to the chest strap, so is not a solution. I bought another polar, the F1, which works with the transmitter attached to the chest strap and use it in the other hand. The M430 does not acknowledge the HR beating during the first 8 minutes. From that moment on it goes at similar levels than the F1. I have observed this behavior several times and it is always the same. Why? Don t know.
Question:	Hi, is there a back light on this
Answer:	Yes, it has a blue backlight.
Question:	What is the actual battery life? Do you need to plug it in every 12-24 hours
Answer:	I'm getting a full week on a charge, using the GPS and HR functions about an hour a day on average, and wearing it the rest of the time.
Question:	is it compatible to h10 sensor
Answer:	Yes I use mine with a H10. If you use a heart rate strap sensor the built in one turns off and the watch battery lasts longer.

User questions & answers

Question:	will this watch allow the Nike run club app detect my heart rate while using the app for a run? my phone is a pixel 5 with Google Fit integrated
Answer:	NO!!! ONLY Fit For Polar A300.
Question:	Does the M200 show your calorie burn progress in real time during your workout? Or do you have to wait till you retrieve your workout data after
Answer:	With any wrist HRM they all use optical sensor which are less accurate or, rather produce inconsistent heart rate readings with rapid changes during session intervals (e.g. high-intensity change-ups, etc). That technology just doesn't allow the light sensors to calculate rapid changes in HRs fast enough to provide the accurate HR readouts most of us require. Some mfrs may claim their optical sensor technology is better than others but, again, those optical sensord just cannot calculate the rapid changes fast enough in ANY of these wrist (or arm) to provide HRs close to what our max HRs may actually be. So, as Hector Moreno suggested, no to accurate heart rate on high intensity change-ups during our sessions and, yes, the chest straps allegedly provide more accurate readings with faster calculations (getting wrist fitness or smart watches to read those HRs from chest straps WITHOUT a proprietary mfr's application sometimes is an obstacle, an HR "roadblock").
Question:	Does this have a backlight
Answer:	The Vantage M does not have gorilla glass. The Vantage V however does. - Mike@PolarUSA
Question:	Does it track your steps
Answer:	Yes, the Vantage M can indeed be paired with the Polar H10 heart rate sensor. - Mike@PolarUSA

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it track or can I add snowboarding as one of the the sports

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!

Answer:	NA
Question:	Will this improve distance accuracy on my treadmill runs
Answer:	I looked it up months ago for these socks and several other brands. I don't remember the percentage of Marino wool in these socks but it was higher than in all the other brands I looked into. None that I can remember were 100% All I can say is that I find these socks warm and comfortable. I have given them as part of a Christmas Gift to many friends, some who live much further north than I do, and they all love them, appreciate their warmth and comfort and have told me they are the best and most comfortable socks they own.

Running Dynamics Pod

How It Works

The Running Dynamics Pod has an accelerometer in the module that measures torso movement to calculate these 6 running metrics:

Product description

Uses estimated wrist-based heart rate data to offer performance monitoring features, including evaluating your current training status

• Easily download up to 500 songs to your watch, and connect with Bluetooth headphones (sold separately) for phone-free listening
• Syncs music from select streaming services for offline listening (May require premium subscription with a third-party music provider)
• Garmin Pay contactless payment solution lets you make convenient payments with your watch (available for supported cards from participating banks), so you can leave your cash and cards at home
• Provides advanced running dynamics (when used with Running Dynamics Pod or HRM-Run or HRM-Tri monitor, sold separately), including ground contact time balance, stride length, vertical ratio and more
• Uses estimated wrist-based heart rate data to offer performance monitoring features, including evaluating your current training status
• Battery life: up to 7 days in smartwatch mode; 5 hours in GPS mode with music

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it alarm you when your heart rate goes too high
Answer:	No. The most accurate way to monitor distance on a treadmill is with a Garmin foot pod that has been initially calibrated to your cadence by running on an outdoor track, so it knows how many steps you take to complete a set distance. Typically, instructions come with the foot pod recommending how to do this, but Garmin customer support can also email you the straight forward way to do the calibration. For an outdoors non-treadmill run, the most accurate way to track distance is by activating the GPS feature on your watch.
Question:	Does is do 02 saturation or blood pressure
Answer:	The dynamic pod captures the exact same Running Cadence data captured by your foot pod along with several other metrics that can replace wearing an HRM strap, but you will still want to use the foot pod for measuring distance and speed indoors. Outdoors, the GPS will still more accurately measure distance then any foot pod.
Question:	How do you listen to the music that is on the watch, does it pair with bluetooth headphones
Answer:	no

Question:	Does the 245 have wrist hr monitoring? my 235 has perfectly accurate wrist hr monitoring, and i would hate to lose that function with an 'upgrade
Answer:	Yes it has hr wrist monitoring that I have found to be very accurate.
Question:	Does it come with charger included
Answer:	All Garmin devices come with a charger in the box. The included cable is data/charging cable for connecting to a computer for syncing data and charging. Blake with Garmin
Question:	Does it tell altitudes
Answer:	I love this watch. It does not have a barometer for altitude, but the GPS / Garmin connect figures the altitude from the maps (and from GPS until it looks at the maps). Fine if you're not counting stairs or mountain-biking seriously needing a barometer. Note, there are 2 versions, amazon lists it as one product, for example (Aqua-Music) 010-02120-22 is the ROW (rest-of-world) version and 010-02120-52 is the APAC (Asian-Pacific) version. The firmware releases are different !!! Not to mention the available languages. The suppliers ARE sending the APAC version without any way to tell (in Amazon) that that might happen. I love the watch. I did send back the APAC one that Amazon sent because I wanted to use beta firmware and order (for a higher price) from REI to get one that I know will be ROW. But for most people, probably they won't care, both have English and the same features...
Question:	I see reviews mentioning asian version of the watch, which they mention is inferior. how can i make sure i get the us one/standard one
Answer:	Not easily. Amazon fulfills it with third parties. There are (aqua-music) two product IDs: -22 and -52 for the ROW and APAC versions. Amazon is _LISTING_ the NON-Asian product ID - so you could keep ordering until they send you what they listed!!! What I did is once I realized I had an Asian one, I sent it back and ordered from REI. You can see a Product ID in the listing, it is the Rest-Of-World product ID. The difference that hit me is that the firmware isn't compatible - I didn't care about the languages, they both have English, but I wanted to install the 3.52 beta firmware - which is ROW only. :(

GPS Running Smartwatch with Music and Advanced Training Features

You do the running. Forerunner 245 Music does the thinking. It even gets to know you, mile after mile and song after song. This GPS smartwatch has storage for your favorite tunes, so you can keep moving to the music without having to lug your phone along. It also tracks your stats, crunches the numbers and gets to know all about your performance, your running form, your training history and even your goals. All you need to focus on is putting one foot in front of the other.

Let the Music Play

If you can’t run without the perfect playlist, you won’t be able to run without Forerunner 245 Music. Sync your carefully crafted playlists from select music streaming services (requires premium subscription with a third-party music provider) — such as Deezer and Spotify — to your watch for ad-free listening. You can even store up to 500 songs right on your watch. It’s easy to transfer music from your computer and then queue up your favorite playlist for easy listening through headphones enabled with BLUETOOTH technology.

Advanced Performance Analytics

What amount of training is right for you? Forerunner 245 Music offers personalized training and recovery insight for smarter training decisions, helping you prepare for your next race. It keeps tabs on your VO2 max and understands how heat and altitude impact your performance. The higher your VO2 max, the higher you can expect to perform, which is exactly what is shown by the performance condition metric. Training status evaluates your recent exercise history and performance indicators to let you know if you’re training productively, peaking or overreaching. See how your workouts influence the development of endurance, speed and power with aerobic and anaerobic training effect feedback. Recovery time helps you maximize the benefit of your efforts by predicting when you will be ready for your next challenge. You can view your overall training load, which measures your exercise volume from the last 7 days and compares it to the optimal range for your fitness and recent training history.

Forerunner 245 Music also has activity profiles for cycling, pool swimming, indoor rowing and even for using the elliptical or stair-stepper.

Analyze Your Running Form

The Forerunner 245 Music GPS smartwatch also has the tools you need to improve your running form. The watch measures crucial running metrics (when used with Running Dynamics Pod or HRM-Run™ or HRM-Tri™ monitors (sold separately)) such as cadence, stride length, ground contact time and balance, vertical oscillationand vertical ratio. These measurements are the key to understanding your form, so you can bring your best on every run and at every race. Your Forerunner 245 Music can start tracking these metrics with the addition of a compatible heart rate strap or the compact Running Dynamics Pod, which clips right onto your waistband.

User questions & answers

Question:	is this touch screen
Answer:	Touch screen is garbage for exercise. Sweat + touch screen = no good.
Question:	How do you tell it is Asian version
Answer:	Primarily by its part number: APAC: Garmin part 010-01746-16 ROW: Garmin part 010-01746-00 APAC is the Asian version, and ROW is "Rest Of World". Functionally, there isnt much of a difference that you would know about. The APAC (Asian version) lags behind a month to several months for software version updates, but it does catch up eventually. The primary difference according to forums on the subject is language availability. That being said, I have not yet read where anyone having an Asian model could not do everything functionally that everyone else could do, including uploading data to Garmin Connect and usage of the site. This link will show you the picture differences in the packaging -note the part number difference: https://imgur.com/gallery/shzkPSh
Question:	If it has the wrist heart rate monitor why do we need to buy the heart rate straps
Answer:	The wrist monitor doesn't work in the water, which is why you'd want the SWIM band. Also, it isn't quite as accurate as a strap, which is what the regular TRI band is for. It also gives you running metrics that just the watch doesn't give you - that said, if you don't want a strap and want the metrics, there is a RD pod product from Garmin you can just clip onto your shorts. Personally, just the watch and the built in monitor are fine for me, as I use this watch primarily for running and biking.
Question:	Is this the apac (asia pacific) version or the row (rest of world) version
Answer:	I received mine on 25 March and it's the ROW version. I went with the default "fulfilled by Amazon" via one-day prime delivery. Not sure who the original seller was.
