bgvanbur Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 Well you have nearly 7 months. Seems doable if it is an important goal to you. I have used the same forerunner 235 for over 2 years now and like it. Sometimes the HR is not picked up correctly (like 66% of where it should be so it is obvious to me that it is wrong, but annoying) but both the 35 and 235 have the same HR tech. Both seem like a good choice, so unless one is missing a feature you really want (such as the virtual pacer on the 35 vs the estimated recovery time on the 235) I think either would be a solid choice.

bgvanbur Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 I am in the crowd who doesn't like to pause the watch when stopped, since you are recovering when stopping at a red light and such.
