Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN),
today announced the Forerunner 35, its newest GPS-enabled running
watch with built-in Garmin Elevate wrist-based heart rate1
technology that allows runners to monitor their heart rate 24/7
without a chest strap. The easy-to-use Forerunner 35 tracks
essential data like distance, pace and personal records, and thanks
to its built-in GPS, runners can track how far, how fast and where
they’re running all without worrying about carrying a phone too. In
between runs, the stylish Forerunner 35 doubles as an all-day
activity tracker1 as it counts steps, calories and intensity
minutes, so users can still record progress and activities even
when they’re not running. The Forerunner 35 also includes
smartwatch functionality including smart notifications2 and music
controls2 right from the device.

“It’s easy to take your running to the next level thanks to the
Forerunner 35 with Elevate wrist-based heart rate – you just put it
on and go,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of worldwide
sales. “With a host of built-in features including wrist-based
heart rate and smart connectivity, the Forerunner 35 is the perfect
tool for runners who want to stay fit, stay connected, and share
their progress.”
The Forerunner 35’s updated sleek design features a new high
resolution display with amazing contrast, perfect for indoor and
outdoor viewing alike. In addition to running, the Forerunner 35
features multiple sport profiles including indoor running, walking,
cycling and cardio activities to help users meet their fitness
goals on and off the pavement. Stylish and lightweight, it’s
comfortable for all day wear and seamlessly transitions from a run
to an everyday activity tracker and smartwatch. Its battery life is
up to nine days in watch/activity tracking mode, and up to 13 hours
in training mode.
With vibration alerts for running prompts, activity tracking
milestones, and virtual pacing progress, the Forerunner 35 helps
runners stay motivated and easily monitor their progress as they
go. Vibration alerts can also be set up for incoming calls, text,
emails and calendar events so users can easily stay connected
without having to dig a phone out of their purse, pocket or bag.
Additional connected features include music controls, automatic
uploads and software updates.
Throughout the day, the Forerunner 35 automatically syncs with
the Garmin Connect™ Mobile app to save users’ stats to their free
account in the Garmin Connect online fitness community. Runners can
also use Garmin Connect to share their workouts with friends and
family in real time with Live Track2, join fitness challenges,
analyze training progress, set and track goals, share activities
with other Garmin Connect users and much more.
The Forerunner 35 is expected to be available in Q3 2016 for a
suggested retail price of $199.99, and will be available in four
colors: black, limelight, frost blue and white.
