I have been extremely impressed with the 935 (upgraded from the 910). The Garmin Connect App is fantastic, the 935 is super user friendly and I never needed the manual. The screen is super clear and with 4 fields it is very easy to read (some had concerns over this compared to the logical 4 field square layout of the 910/920 watches, but I think you would be impressed).

I have a couple of questions that some of you with the 935 might be able to answer, and also might help others decide if this watch is for them:

1. HR while swimming: Garmin support said "sure that works, I am doing it right here at my desk, sometimes forums have wrong information". Me in the pool: HR until I start swim, first stoke HR goes blank. Leads me to believe ST info was reliable and that yes, you need the swim HR strap to get HR data while swimming. Not a big deal for me, I can do without swim HR.

3. Treadmill calibration: THIS IS THE BIG ONE FOR ME. I upgraded to get wrist HR (it works great for me), and to not have to deal with the foot pod. The built-in treadmill run distance in the 935 is ONLY CALIBRATED AUTOMATICALLY through your GPS enabled runs. It is not very accurate for me, but is it REPEATABLE, meaning if Garmin would allow me to manually change the calibration factor like on the 910 with the pod, I am convinced I could get good enough results that I would not need a pod. Garmin support confirmed that no, you cannot manually calibrate this. This is weird to me. Every outdoor run is different, some are hilly, some involve short walking breaks, some are on the beach, some are trail runs. I imagine the treadmill calibration will be different for all these different outdoor runs. Anybody know if you can somehow "trick" the 935 for treadmill calibration. I could run with a modified running style just once to get the distance right LOL - but can you then tell the 935 to not calibrate anymore?

4. When in multisport mode, you cannot take manual laps. You can have automatic laps (say 1 mile on run and 5 mile on bike for example), but you cannot take a lap of your favorite climb on the bike. This means I will likely not use multisport mode other than on race day. I do a lot of bike-run sessions, and it would have made sense to record those as multisport, but the lack of manual lap is a bummer. (The lap bottom turns into the transition / next sport bottom).

I have a 735 so am familiar with a few of these.

1. Pretty sure you have to swim w/ the swim specific strap. HR is not displayed while swimming, simply stored. Seeing HR is only available once the workout is loaded to Connect.

2. My 735 alerts me when my recovery HR is reached. But I *think* only if I have stopped the activity and not saved it / etc. So stop -> get alert -> save -> done?

3. Agree 100%. Although I've done two treadmill runs lately, one pace was off by ~10 sec (not bad), the other was off by almost a minute (ugh). A calibration would be spectacular.

4. Never had any desire to do that one, sorry. Maybe the Strava segments could be used? I did set up a Brick activity (bike + transition + run) for a recent workout. Worked like a champ.

[pink]Maybe if you know your route you could set up a bike + bike + bike + bike + transition + run brick?[/pink]

Re: treadmill, are you running on a home treadmill or different ones at the gym? I have he 735 and noticed that different treadmills gave me better and worse matching to what the Garmin says. I purposely didn't use the word accuracy there because there's really no way to know that the treadmill isn't off a little.

LOL - I have a bike route that I do often with a nice 15min climb, and I like to take splits on this to track my progress. It is not a big deal, and we all know engineers are the worst customers :)

2. Recovery HR like the 910: Is there a setting for this? I do not get that currently. There is a recovery time before next workout, but I would rather have recovery HR. Not sure how recovery time is calculated, it seems rather complicated to automate especially for a multisport athlete.

THIS ONLY SHOWS UP AFTER 2 minutes once stopping an activity...you must wait for it before saving the file.

TO DO MORE THAN ONE SPORT: start in the desired sport use as normal hitting lap button etc. when you are ready to go to other sport such as bike to run...press the mode button, one with 3 dots back where it shows what sport your in and scroll to next desired sport, press enter. You can now use this mode as normal with laps etc. to end activities just press the normal end button. When the files are uploaded it will show up as the two files without transitions bc not multiaport mode.

All these questions are really details. I LOVE the watch, wear it daily with ease and enjoy the phone notifications etc. Very cool watch in my opinion.

My request to Garmin would be an "unlap" feature. I use swim workouts a ton and love them. But inevitably I bump my lap button one two many times and advance it accidentally. I'd love to be able to roll it back one step in that case.

Is multisport mode meant for anything other than race day? I've also done multiple workouts per day, but I personally don't see any need to tag them together as one "multisport" activity. Just end the current activity and start a new one. What is the benefit of tagging them together?
