I recently got a Garmin Forerunner 235 , I really love it . It does a lot takes heart rate all throughout the day , counts steps , acts as a basic smartwatch , tracks runningbikingwalking with GPS , tracks sleeping , and also you can program in specific workouts like run 10 mins at xpace , 5 at ypace , etc . It has a great battery , mine goes about 4 days without charging , and I use the GPSrun tracking almost every day which I think uses a lot of battery . My only complaint is that its a bit manly and sporty looking , so not great to wear out unless you hide your wrists with clothing . Does it make me work out more ? I think so I like tracking my running progress and that really motivates me to run more . The garmin connect app is really good for me , and I have gotten to the point where I hate seeing an empty day on the calendar which helps me run more . However for the step counter , I don ' t think I ' ve added any steps or walking due to the tracking . I haven ' t done anything yet with the sleep tracking either , but it is super interesting to see how poorly I eat corresponds really closely to how much sleep I have had . So I hope to try to address this better .
