When people think of triathlon sports watches, Garmin naturally comes to mind. As the most professional brand in the field, Garmin’s sports watches have long been the go-to choice for athletes during training and competitions, so every time Garmin releases a new product, it generates a lot of attention. Today, we’re reviewing the latest triathlon sports watch from Garmin—the Forerunner 935. What makes this new model stand out? Let’s explore its features through real-world use.
It allows for vertical data stacking, but currently there is no way to perform horizontal comparisons (exercise data from different dates); only two data items can be stacked, which is a bit disappointing. Currently, Garmin in China supports third-party data such as Tulip Sports and Nike Running, and you can also use the Garmin “Garmin Connect” community app for training planning. If you have the chance, give it a try—it can help maximize the utility of Garmin products beyond just real-time data feedback.
Summary:
As a triathlon sports watch, the Forerunner 935 weighs just 49 grams—truly pushing the limits for a watch. It doesn’t feel burdensome even during prolonged exercise. Additionally, the Forerunner 935 can be paired with a running dynamics sensor, which attaches to the middle of your lower back and measures six types of running data: cadence, stride length, vertical oscillation, ground contact time, ground contact balance, and vertical ratio. These are very useful for athletes. This wealth of motion data can be recorded and analyzed via online platforms such as Garmin Connect and the Garmin “Garmin Connect” app. Overall, the Forerunner 935 sees improvements in appearance, design, and functionality. If you're looking for an all-in-one solution, the Forerunner 935 is definitely the top choice. The downside is that the official version does not come with a quick-release strap, and only the domestic version includes the Chinese interface and the ability to display content in Chinese.
