Finally, the pedometer is also on point. On two separate 500-step walks, the Forerunner 735XT counted 503 and 497 steps. Data In addition, the watch is compatible with Garmin's Varia and Vector lines of bicycle accessories. Bottom Line All told, the Forerunner 735XT has an impressive battery. If you're training for a marathon, long bike race or triathlon, you won't have to worry about charging the device after every long workout. The watch can also store up to 80 hours of activity data, according to Garmin, which offers peace of mind to anyone who frequently deletes data from a watch.

Like recent sports watches from Coros and Polar, the Forerunner 745 can also calculate your current training load, plus your training status so you can see how effectively you're working based on your training level and fitness trend. The same proved true with cycling, where I found the built-in heart rate monitor to be one of the best I’ve used. The Garmin watch presented realistic figures time and again, never once indicating that I was in cardiac arrest, or had the heartbeat of a hummingbird – which I experience occasionally on both the Basis and Band 2. The Garmin Connect app is a fairly divisive platform - we’re fans of the way the app can just do so much, but it can get a bit overwhelming at times.With cycling, it’s hard to really fault the Forerunner 735XT as it’ll not only offer you all manner of metrics (hopefully, you’re getting the theme here) but also connect to ANT+ and Bluetooth accessories, meaning most power meters and turbo trainers are compatible with the watch and can upload your activities easily. As you view workout details on the watch, there's even more data, including calories burned, elevation and run cadence (or strides per minute). I learned that I max out at just under 180 strides per minute, which Garmin said is the target for most runners. I've been running for almost 21 years, and I never knew this.

It’s also great how the notifications pop up on this watch - when connected to your phone, you’ll get just the right amount of preview to see whether you need to look at that text or WhatsApp message, or whether it’s worth taking the call. Overall, the Forerunner 735XT's HRM is somewhat accurate. On a 6-mile run, it measured a peak HR of 187 beats per minute and an average HR of 157, which compared to a peak of 165 and an average of 142 on a Polar chest-strap heart rate monitor. Things were better on a second run, when the watch measured a peak HR of 190 and an average of 160 for 10 miles, compared to a peak of 184 and an average of 166 for the Polar device. We used the Forerunner 630, a more dedicated running model, for a number of months, but the fact this used a touchscreen irked. No such issues with the 735XT - this is all button, meaning you can fondle your wrist without looking for the right button on the screen to finish a race or save an activity. That said, recent upgrades are good at giving more insight, telling you when you’re ahead or behind your usual activity, showing your sleep patterns, activity levels and calorie intake (if you sync it with something like MyFitnessPal).

For semi-enthusiast runners, cyclers or swimmers, or more casual exercisers, it’s overkill and there are far more cost-effective options available. It’s easy to manipulate at pace, which is a dreamy thing to offer - we were able to alter our virtual pacer (the function where you can see how far ahead or behind a certain speed you are) in the middle of a race and it only took a few seconds. Both devices are water resistant to 5ATM, making them suitable for wearing in the pool, sea and shower. Smartwatch features It’s got a clear screen, good battery life, great accuracy and the ability to give deep insight into a number of facets of your fitness life - and it’s also advanced enough to be the perfect companion in something like a marathong Should I buy it?
