Top of the line watch. Works great for what I needed. Has provided extra motivation to train systematically. Early days though…
Was worried about size because I have very thin wrists – 6 in. No problems and the HR works great. Some trial and error required to get the correct tightness.
A bit of overkill but I am calling it a birthday present to myself.
Only quible is that there seems to be a problem with APAC (Asia Pacific) editions not measuring REM sleep. Working with Garmin support. Not a big deal really.

Awesome workout buddy and fitness tool. I’ve had this for about two weeks now, and it works flawlessly for running, biking and swimming. Huge upgrade from my old Garmin 910xt, which after many years finally bonked and started giving ridiculous elevation readings. This watch is lightweight, thin, and I find the wrist-based heartrate monitoring is really excellent; I’ve not yet paired it with my old chest strap and I probably won’t need to. Downloadable and customizable watch faces and widgets make this even more fun and impressive. Auto-uploading works like a champ, no more heading to the computer to plug in the ANT stick after a workout; it auto-uploads activities through my phone using Garmin Connect, and also connects directly to my home wi-fi if my phone is off. Also a useful coach through sleep monitoring, and performance monitoring including training status, VO2 Max, recovery hours needed, weekly training load, and more. Also a good basic smartwatch with regard to receiving messages and alerts when in proximity of your phone, with apps available to extend functionality if you are into it. Finds and locks into satellites within seconds; battery life is astounding; full charge easily lasts more than a week.
I also invested in a glass screen protector, which not only protects the watch face but also makes it look a little nicer with a no-smudge glossy shine. Went on perfectly and gives me some peace of mind.

Amazon delivered to AUS 1 week faster than expected. My last watch was a Garmin Foreunner 735XT with a faulty battery. The 935 is a way better watch, newer, more features and data. Best price at time of purchase. I recommend.

I will not go into a technical review of the Garmin 935 GPS unit as there are already many available on internet and very detailed ones on YouTube. I will instead try to address some issues that I think are important to the average consumer. Mind that I gave 5-start rating and thus I like it, but still there are a few comments that I feel could be useful
1) I have had a Garmin GPS unit at my wrist from 2004 and, in particular, I went through the series 910XT and 920XT. Hence I claim that I know a thing or two about using GPS devices for sports.
2) I prefer the square format, but these days they seem to be all round and so no choice there. I just think that a square display provides, in general, a better organization of space. For instance when I cycle or skate I like to have the Distance, Time, Avg. Speed, Current Speed in one display and all the heart rate measurements on a second screen. As menus on this watch are organized by groups of 3, I find this less desirable.However, I found that the watch is easy to read and in that sense I would not complain. More recently, I found a third party software by Dozen Cycle and finally I was able to get more fields than just 3 on my display. Now I am satisfied. (See the second picture below). I just wish one could customize the display to have up to 8 fields on each individual display. Or 6, but 3 I find a little bit short of what I need.
3) It is light, much lighter than my 910XT and 920XT. I just hope that this “lightness” does not translate into less durability. The strap I really do not like. It irritates me if I wear as a watch. I did not have this problem with the 910XT and 920XT. The strap on the 935 is much softer than on the 910XT or 920XT as far as I can tell.
4) Sensors are fast to acquire signal. No problems with GPS signals so far and /or connecting to HRM and other devices.
5) Precision is as good as on my previous devices or better. Only things that surprises me a little bit is the calories consumption that on this device seem to be overall lower than on my 910XT that I used as a comparison (4 or 5 years apart, I thought, should show some differences).
6) I do not swim anymore so I have not tried it in water and I will not try it into water in the foreseeable future. So cannot comment on that. But, since the 910XT was already quite good in that sense, I am confident this is even better.
7) I learned how to use the 910XT and 920XTin a matter of 1 hour. The 935 has many more functions and menus and it took me quite a bit longer to learn the tricks I need. I found the manual (downloaded from Garmin’s website) not very useful or, better, full of information, but not always quickly applicable. I learned more just by researching the internet under specific keys.
8) Connection with Garmin Express is fast and very reliable. So getting my workouts on Garmin Connect has been very easy
9) Battery time… So far (it is new) it looks great.. As a watch it can go many days in between charges. When I work out, I seem to find that 1 hour = 10% of charge, roughly
10) I connected to my Android, but I quickly disconnected it too. Why do I want the two to be connected? If I am going on a workout I tend to leave the phone in the car. I also use the watch for inline skating and falling on a bike or on skates is usually not good news for expensive smartphones.But I connected it to make sure that it works. Not difficult to do either after installing the proper application on my smartphone.
11) as a watch it is not bad at all and can be customize a fair amount (see my watch face below)
12) I was curious about the heart rate measurements without the strap and, overall, I found them very accurate. That is a pleasant plus even if I train with the HRM because I want to have more metrics to download and to study.
OVERALL. I am happy. These devices seem to get more and more expensive every iteration, but they also contain more and more functionalities. I guess that is the trend. I resisted buying the Fenix 5X even if the Fenix 5X is better looking, there is no doubt about that, and has a stronger feel and touch. But, I really know that I would never ever use the maps and I already have a nice mechanical watch that is 10x spiffier than the Fenix 5X, so the 935 hit my sweet spot between what I want and what I need. I would have preferred a device a little bit sturdier, but even if it is thinner than my previous devices, it is quite usable and I have no issues finding the buttons even while exercising. As I took one small tumble on skates, perhaps, I noticed that being thin is not so bad as during the fall it did not get scratched, which is not always the case with bulkier devices.

I’m very happy with my upgrade from a 920xt. The 920 is great, but things were starting to go on it – the altimeter no longer functioned and no amount of washing in soap or hard resets was going to help and the HRM was no longer being read on the 920 or other devices that I have (vivoactive and 510). I also dropped the 920 the last week that I used it and the D ring that forms part of the clasp popped off. I was able to fix it back on but spent the rest of the weekend worried that my watch would fall off during a lake swim, never to be seen again. The HRM has also been a constant problem in that it causes discomfort during long runs, especially in hot weather. all long runs needed to be prepped with lots of trail toes balm applied to my torso. When I coupled the warranty fix as well as having to replace the HRM, buy a new unit made sense.
I really appreciate the wrist based HR, as does my skin below my bra line. What I wasn’t looking for but happy to have is the added recovery metrics. I take them with a grain of salt, but I appreciate the reminders that my training might not be as productive as hoped and I should consider an adjustment or an hour with my feet up the wall. This watch has replaced both my vivoactive and 920 while I prepare for my next event, it covered what I was getting from both and I can just worry about less stuff from pool to work to track to bike.
I chose the 935 over the 945, 735 and over the Fenix for a couple of reasons. Primarily it was battery life. I am female and have a smaller wrist and race long distance so the smaller Fenix 5S wasn’t an obvious choice. The battery is 14 hours and I don’t want to be worrying about battery in the last hour of an IM. I also liked the fact that the 935 was going to be lighter than the fenix. not by much, but the fenix is twice the weight of the 920 and I find the 920 bulky and on a hot long run it always bothered me in the last half, so less is more in this case. Because the 935 band and shape is better, I haven’t had an issue and I’ve done two 25km+ summer runs with it so far. The 735 is a great option, but for the price, it worked out that for only a little bit more I got a lot more watch, namely the training status features, bluetooth (I don’t always have a phone with me), actual altimeter and battery life (14 hours). The 945 was quite pricey and didn’t seem to come without the full tri bundle. At the end of the day, the 935 was a great deal for a lot of watch. I don’t have the option of the sapphire screen, but all Garmin devices that I have had haven’t had issues with scratchy screens. They are quality screens and chances are that the screen won’t be the first thing to go. by the time it gets too scratched to read, the device might have a whole other slew of things going on it.

I’m training for a half Ironman and bought this watch two months ago. It is overall fantastic, it greatly exceeds my expectations, and I have no complaints whatsoever.
I started training by using the Google WearOS watch I already had. It, theoretically, could do what I needed it to do since you can download apps for just about anything. But there were problems.
Each app you download makes the watch even slower to respond than it normally was. It often locked up. The touchscreen, a feature I thought was so cool at first, turned out to be its worst feature during triathlon training.
In water the touchscreen is 100% unusable. Actually, just the contact of the water on the touchscreen makes it magically change from screen to screen or even turn off half way through a swim. When it’s wet and your finder is wet, there’s only a 1% chance that your touches will register properly. During running it’s impossible to interact with the tiny icons on the tiny screen as I bounce around while striding. And during rides, with my gloves on, there’s no touchy at all.
Touch screens for triathlon watches are to be avoided.
This Garmin does not have a touchscreen. You interact with it through five buttons that work perfectly in the pool, while running, and with gloved hands.
The watch never locks up. It has all the power it needs to be extremely responsive to your interactions, every single time.
The watch is always on. Unlike a “smart” watch that must turn its display off to conserve battery, this watch is always on. I can see the time, date and other indicators all the time. If I activate it by touching a button, I get a ton of other features.
The GPS locks onto a satellite very quickly, and consistently records my activities. The pace is always accurate. The heart rate monitor always works (PROTIP: tightening the strap during a training session results in a more accurate heart rate). It provides all the biofeedback I need during my training sessions.
The Garmin Connect app that comes with it provides a treasure trove of data that you can, and will, analyze on a daily basis. It tells you how you sleep, and how long you’re in which sleep zones. It tells you how you’re training – your pace, your distance, your cadence, your heart rate, VO2, and even if you’re overtraining…everything you need to know to understand how to make minor adjustments. The sync between watch and app happens without you having to do anything. You can also connect with your friends and view a feed, similar to Strava. Garmin Connect is so good that I simply stopped using Strava…it’s no longer needed.
The battery lasts crazy long. My Google watch would die on day 2, so I HAD to plug it in every night. That meant no sleep tracking. The longest I’ve gone between charging my Garmin is 11 days.
11 DAYS!!
That’s insane.
Here’s the bottom line…
This watch is perfect for triathlon training. It’s the perfect watch because it just works. And it works every, single, time.
If you are training for a triathlon, you will regret not buying this watch.

Modelo que salió en 2017 pero fue tope de gama. Cuenta con todas las funciones que esperas para realizar tus entrenamientos de múltiples deportes y hasta triatlón. Buena duración de batería, calidad de materiales, ligero. Lo mejor es el precio, ya que aunque podrían decir que es un modelo viejo cuenta con más de lo necesario para cualquier atleta incluso para los más exigentes. No necesitas comprar un fénix o un modelo más reciente que seguramente estará al doble o triple de precio.
