The Forerunner 935 is being announced in conjunction with a new
print, digital and social campaign featuring 13 professional
Garmin-sponsored elite runners and triathletes from across the
world. The campaign showcases how the sophisticated dynamics
offered by the Forerunner 935 help these athletes fine tune and
elevate their training and be more competitive on race day.
“With similar features to the fēnix® 5 – our popular multisport
GPS watch built for fitness, adventure and style – the Forerunner
935 is catered more towards athletes focused on performance and
results,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of global consumer
sales. “As a top-of-the-line GPS smartwatch, the Forerunner 935 not
only provides users with insight into how their body is responding
to fitness, but also offers data for every activity, allows them to
automatically upload to Garmin Connect™, and is customizable with
free apps, data fields and more from the Connect IQ™ store.”
New training features – with technology provided by Firstbeat –
make it easier for Forerunner 935 users to monitor performance and
better prepare for a race or training cycle. Training status
automatically analyzes previous exercise and fitness levels to
provide insight into how the athlete’s body is responding – letting
them know if they are training productively, peaking or
overreaching. Training load gives users an overview of their weekly
activity and helps them determine if they are training in the right
zone and whether their sessions are too easy or hard. Additionally,
the new training effect metric tracks and reviews the aerobic and
anaerobic benefit of a training session, letting athletes know how
their training is improving their ability to push the limits. With
these training features available at their fingertips, athletes can
make adjustments and improvements to their training to become
better, faster and more efficient come race day.
The Forerunner 935 allows users to go further with their running
data. The simple-to-use and unobtrusive new Running Dynamics Pod
clips to the waistband allowing athletes to see all six running
dynamics – including cadence, ground contact time, stride length
and more – on a compatible device3 without the need for a chest
strap. The Forerunner 935 also features advanced dynamics to help
with cycling and swim training4. While on a bike, it will track
dynamics including power zones, time seated and standing, platform
center offset and power phase. In the water5, the Forerunner 935
will track distance, stroke, pace, personal records and more.
With Elevate wrist-based heart rate, Forerunner 935 users have
around-the-clock heart rate monitoring without the need for an
additional strap. With GPS and GLONASS coverage, athletes can
better track their activities in challenging environments than with
GPS alone. Additionally, the Forerunner 935 includes ABC
(altimeter, barometer and compass) sensor capabilities. The
built-in altimeter provides real-time elevation information, while
the barometer can predict weather changes by showing short-term
trends in air pressure. The compass can help users keep their
bearings whether they’re moving or not.
Athletes can easily transition between sports with the press of
a button utilizing the auto or manual multisport feature.
Additional built-in activities include hiking, trail running,
skiing, paddle sports, golf and more. The Forerunner 935 is also
compatible with the full line of Varia™ cycling awareness
accessories, Vector™ pedal-based power meter system and Index™
smart scale.
Available on the Forerunner 935, Strava Live Segments allow
users to view real-time results on a run or ride, leaderboard
rankings and how their current effort compares to their PR. Starred
Strava segments automatically sync with the Forerunner 935 for live
feedback during an activity. Purchases of the Forerunner 935 will
receive a 60-day trial of Strava Premium, and owners of Connect IQ
compatible devices will receive a 30-day trial.
Installed on the Forerunner 935, the new TrainingPeaks app
allows users to download free workouts directly to their watch,
then view the workout in real time, complete with intensity targets
and interval durations. Following a session, athletes can
automatically sync their completed workout back to TrainingPeaks
for a detailed analysis of their performance and to measure their
progress toward their goals. Users can also customize their watch
with data fields, watch faces, widgets and additional apps
including Uber ETA (by Garmin) and AccuWeather MinuteCast® Minute
by Minute Forecast in the Connect IQ store.
When paired with a compatible smartphone6, the Forerunner 935
automatically uploads to Garmin Connect, an online fitness
community where users can track workouts, sleep patterns, join
online challenges to compete against friends and earn virtual
badges. GroupTrack allows users to keep tabs on those they train
with, while LiveTrack lets loved ones follow along on runs and
rides in real time.
The Forerunner 935 features up to 24 hours of battery life in
GPS mode, up to 50 hours in UltraTrac™ battery saver mode and up to
two weeks in watch mode. It is available in black for $499.99. A
tri-bundle option – which includes a black watch face with force
yellow strap, HRM-Tri, HRM-Swim, Quick Release Kit and additional
strap in black – is available for $649.99. Compatible with optional
Garmin QuickFit™ bands in leather, silicone or metal, the
Forerunner 935 lets users go from workplace to workout – no tools
required.
