  • Battery Life

    Battery life shows how many days the smartwatch can operate without charging.


    It depends on the battery capacity, but also on how much you use it (e.g. active display, GPS, notifications, etc.).


    For example, a smartwatch with 2-3 days of battery life is ideal for daily use with all features enabled.


    Models with 5–10 days or more are suitable for those who do not want to charge often or use it more "lightly".


    The value is especially meaningful when comparing products from the same manufacturer.

  • Display Type

    MIP

    MIP screens consume minimal energy and remain visible in bright sunlight, making them ideal for smartwatches focused on battery life and outdoor sports activities.

  • Waterproof

    Pool Swimming

    Ultra-lightweight and well-constructed with a plethora of measurements and analyses to improve your performance. As its successor (255) is coming, you can find it at a very good price (under 200€), making it a blind choice especially if you're on a budget. I do crossfit and running, and the feather-light feel with detailed measurements is a must.
    P.S. In the case of crossfit, a heart rate band is essential for more reliable measurements.

    Perfect for someone who wants to track their workouts - personally, I use it for running and it's exactly what I need. Good value for money - it's in the mid-range of Garmin products. A big plus is its screen, as you can see the information quite clearly, although I think it requires a bit of attention to avoid scratches, etc.

    Very honest for a runner!!

    2. After 1.5 years of daily use, it suddenly stopped working and never came back on... Luckily, it was still under warranty, so I got it replaced by Garmin Hellas in Alimos. They also informed me that the warranty has been renewed for another 2 years... Good to know!

    I will tell you that I have had it for exactly one year and I have been taking care of it like my own eyes. It has not been touched by water and it simply stopped charging. We all know how Garmin support is here in Greece, so what else is there to say? NEVER AGAIN GARMIN.

    I have had it for about a month. As an owner of the 235, I can say that it is clearly more compact, smaller, and better in quality.
    I got it without music because I am not interested in sitting down to put on music every time before running (or listening to the same thing over and over again), nor am I a premium member of Spotify. So I preferred music from my phone, as always.
    What bothers me a little is the pulse sensor under the watch. It hurts my wrist a little. Personally, if there was an option, I would take it without it.
    I have a belt anyway.
    I don't know if the pulse measurements are reliable. At this particular moment, I am not interested in them and I haven't studied them.

    I will tell you that I have had it for exactly one year and I have been taking care of it like my own eyes. It has not been touched by water and it simply stopped charging. We all know how Garmin support is here in Greece, so what else is there to say? NEVER AGAIN GARMIN.

    I have had it for about a month. As an owner of the 235, I can say that it is clearly more compact, smaller, and better in quality.
    I got it without music because I am not interested in sitting down to put on music every time before running (or listening to the same thing over and over again), nor am I a premium member of Spotify. So I preferred music from my phone, as always.
    What bothers me a little is the pulse sensor under the watch. It hurts my wrist a little. Personally, if there was an option, I would take it without it.
    I have a belt anyway.
    I don't know if the pulse measurements are reliable. At this particular moment, I am not interested in them and I haven't studied them.

    Super. Autonomy of 7-8 days with daily use (24/7) and 3-4 workouts per week.

    Ultra-lightweight and well-constructed with a plethora of measurements and analyses to improve your performance. As its successor (255) is coming, you can find it at a very good price (under 200€), making it a blind choice especially if you're on a budget. I do crossfit and running, and the feather-light feel with detailed measurements is a must.
    P.S. In the case of crossfit, a heart rate band is essential for more reliable measurements.

    Perfect for someone who wants to track their workouts - personally, I use it for running and it's exactly what I need. Good value for money - it's in the mid-range of Garmin products. A big plus is its screen, as you can see the information quite clearly, although I think it requires a bit of attention to avoid scratches, etc.

    Very honest for a runner!!

    2. After 1.5 years of daily use, it suddenly stopped working and never came back on... Luckily, it was still under warranty, so I got it replaced by Garmin Hellas in Alimos. They also informed me that the warranty has been renewed for another 2 years... Good to know!
