Like all Garmins, the Forerunner 235 comes with its own special charging cable and all the frustrations that brings for traveling and not being able to charge it easily on the move unless you remember to bring your special lead with you. It’s more than capable of coping with an average training week, and it could potentially handle a 100km ultra for faster runners. It had no trouble tracking a 4-hour marathon and made it through to Wednesday with normal activity tracking and smartphone notifications on before it finally died. We also gave it a whirl on a marathon, taking it off the dock at 6.30am on race day. It coped with all of that but we put it back on the dock before the following week’s Sunday run. We tested it over a normal training week starting on Sunday with a long 1.5 hour run, with three short midweek runs of up to an hour and then normal daily usage in between. When it comes to endurance, Garmin claims the Forerunner 235 can last up to 9 days in watch mode and up to 11 hours in GPS mode with the heart rate monitor in use.
