Hi, just saw a great deal for a new Garmin 935 for barely 240$. I dont need maps, Pay, music… sone latest garmin gimmiks I also do not need. but I am worried a maybe four year old watch’s battery might have taken a hit? Or is there no real need to be worried. Probably it is not four years old an…

Sure… It doesnt have as many metrics as the 945/955, but for most people it will be more than enough… battery last a long time… If you plan to use it on the pool, make sure you rinse it every time… otherwise the chlorine will kill the barometer in less than 12 months… My first one died within 6…

thx - i hate swimming, always will :smile: what caused the crack? water, too?

If it’s brand new the battery life should be great. Mine is definitely struggling these days since buying it when it first came out. I’m still on my first one since I learned my lesson from the 910xt and don’t swim in the pool with it (I only use my 2nd replacement 910xt for that and it’s the only t…

[image] Joelrivera: but the HR plastic cover cracked This is pretty common, but doesn’t seem to affect anything AFAIK. If it happened under warranty I would have tried for a new one though. :grinning:

I had good luck with my 910xt replacements as well, even past the warranty period. :+1: ETA: my 935 HR cover also cracked so I was referring to me when I said “I”, not the hypothetical “I” in that situation. :joy:

Having owned a 935, 945 and a Fenix 6 Pro I’d say the metrics are pointless. I didn’t get on with the resin bezel of the 935 and 945 which is why I went to the Fenix 6 Pro. I use my watch to log data and then I use other services to analyse it. I don’t need Garmin telling me that I’ve not had enoug…

Great thread. I have a Suunto Spartan Trainer with Wrist HR that is still going strong after 4+ years. I am looking to move 100% to Garmin when I one day replace it. The FR935 is about the same cost as the Suunto 5 but has way more features. Definitely glad to see everyone else’s thoughts on the…

[image] wyku: If it’s brand new the battery life should be great. M I bought the watch :slight_smile: could not resist. It is definately brand new, never used. But I have no idea if it was sitting on a shelf for four years. So do you mean brand new as never used or brand new as recently prod…
