Background
The Garmin Smartwatch line offers a wide array of smartwatch options and is a fierce competitor for others in the smartwatch business (like Fitbit and Apple). These watches are designed to do far more than just display the time. Garmin Smartwatches offer activity and sleep tracking, as well as more advanced features like heart-rate monitoring, notification display, connecting to web-based music platforms (i.e. Spotify and Amazon Music), guided workout animations, safety tracking features, and even Garmin pay. (Note: Not all features are present in every Garmin Smartwatch).
Notable advantages of the Garmin Forerunner 35 over similar alternatives from competitors include a lower price tag, functional buttons, and a black and white display. While a display lacking color might not seem advantageous, it can allow for easier visibility in the sunlight during an intense workout or midday stroll. The Forerunner 35 also offers mechanical buttons, making it easier to quickly and accurately control the device during a workout. Another significant benefit is battery life. The Forerunner 35 can last up to nine days without charge, while most smartwatches with a color display require charging every two days.
Identification
Garmin Smartwatches include both a display screen and a wristwatch band. They come in a wide range of colors, shapes, and styles. All models have the word “Garmin” displayed somewhere on the device.
