These days, optical heart rate running watches have become the trend. Judging by the reception of Garmin’s mid-range Forerunner 235 released this year, runners have shown strong approval for optical heart rate watches. But for beginners, is there a reliable optical heart rate running watch available? To address this market segment, Garmin has launched the entry-level Forerunner 35 with optical heart rate support. For those new to running who still care about product quality, this model is undoubtedly an excellent choice.
In terms of functionality, although the Forerunner 35 may not match Garmin’s higher-end products, it more than meets the needs of beginners. Runners who are still undecided about which entry-level running watch to buy might want to consider this one.
