Don't lose the charging cord since Garmin uses a proprietary cord and I am guessing that it would be expensive to replace. It would probably last longer but I always charge it when it is on its last bar and its usually charged in a few hours. The battery has been lasting about a week+. I guess it would be a nice feature if it was something I had been looking for, but I quickly found it annoying and turned it off in the app. I thought it was a neat feature until the watch kept prompting me to move. The watch is setup by defualt to adjust your daily step goal based on the prior day. This is interesting to me since i t shows that I am above the threshhold throughout my entire workouts. Also, I don't currently do any cardio so I don't use the run/walk feature, but I have noticed that the watch tracks "intensity minutes" whenever my heart rate is elevated above a certain level when working out. There’s very little guesswork involved with the four clearly labeled buttons, and you most likely won’t have to turn to YouTube to figure out the ins and outs of the watch, as I always seem to do with more techy ones. ![]() I think it would be more intersting to see how my sleep is divided amongst all three but nbd, really, since it was not a feature I was buying for. The Forerunner 35 comes with a partial charge and, once you download the Garmin Connect App (if you don’t already have it), is basically ready to go. Using the smart phone app, I see that it also tracks my sleep between light and deep sleep which is interesting but it does not track REM sleep for some reason (there's a spot for it in the app but it is always blank). I bought this watch specifically because I wanted a heart rate/foot step tracking watch and it was both highly rated by Consumer Reports and was less than $100.
