What is best garmin for running
Best Garmin Watch - GPS, Running, Triathlon, Cycling & More
what's up guys I'm Jeff Rizzo from
business comm today we're doing a video
about the best Garmin watch now I know
I've been covering Garmin watches for
years but this is a video that I've been
wanting to do for a long time because
there are a lot of people out there that
just say Jeff which one should I get
what is the best Garmin watch you've
covered so many of them just tell me
which one is the best me and so that's
what I want to do in today's video I
want to talk about which one is the best
and for whom they are the best I'm not
talking about which one is the most
expensive or which one has every single
feature on the Sun if you could only
choose one in each category which one
would you get so if you enjoy the video
you find it helpful make sure to give us
a thumbs up and then also consider
subscribing to the channel if you're
into this stuff running cycling swimming
being active technology this is the
channel on YouTube for you we've been
doing it for years and we're going to
continue to do it let's get to it ok so
at the end we'll talk about which one I
think is the best overall but for now
let's lead off with the best watch for
triathletes and if you could only get
one it would be the forerunner 935 if
you just want a solid triathlon watch
and really that's all you're using it
for you don't want all the other bells
and whistles the 935 is the way to go
sure you can save money with the 920 XT
or the 735 XT but if you want the best
combination of fit size features and
battery life that is the 935 I'll link
our full review down below in the
description because I spend a lot of
time on that video and the written post
so you can check that out for all of the
details here's just a general overview
of the watch it tracks naturally
triathlons running indoor and out
cycling indoor and out swimming both
pool swimming and open water swimming
and that is in addition to a host of
other sports like water sports snow
sports cardio golf
etc so it really does it all it also has
a wrist heartrate monitor and pairs with
other heart rate monitors and sensors
you can even get your advanced running
dynamic stats which is even more
advanced
than me like I don't even tend to use
these that much I mostly focus on like
pace heart rate and cadence but you can
get things like ground contact time
which is how long your feet are on the
ground which is pretty cool
ground contact time balance which shows
you the basically the proportion of
right to left foot basically which side
you favor you can get stride length and
a bunch of other measures that hardcore
runners will care about and then there
are physiological measurements and
training features most of which are
provided by first beat technologies
they're pretty complicated but they are
really freaking cool and if you're
really trying to train for something I
think you will get something out of
those physiological measurements like
lactate threshold training load training
effect which basically tells you what
did that workout do for you did it help
improve your overall fitness are you
maintaining was it actually detrimental
to your fitness systems so there are
some really neat things that you can
glean from those physiological
measurements and then Garmin of course
has this entire rolodex of training
features like if you want to train for a
triathlon or if you want to train for a
marathon you can download preset courses
and then those kind of sync with the
watch and you can do that all with the
9:35 and plenty of other watches by the
way and then it has darn good battery
life and this is really something that
triathlons will care about with some
other watches in the past
Garmin had pretty good battery life but
if you're doing some longer triathlons
like ironman length triathlons you want
really good battery life and this one
has about 24 hours on a single charge
now in the past it's been 11 hours 14
hours this one goes all the way up to
about 24 hours so if you really care
about battery life the 9:35 is really a
good pick up and like I said before if
you can only get one that 935 is the way
to go now on to the best running watch
and I'm mostly talking here to half
marathon or as marathoners ultra
marathoners if you can only get one you
got to go with the forerunner 735 XT now
I know this has been out for a while I
did do a full review and I'll link it in
the description so check that out it's
been out for I think two years now but
it's a beast of a watch and it still has
a heck of a lot to offer first it has a
tiny footprint and its really
comfortable on your wrist when you go
running right you don't want a big and
bulky watch you want something you don't
even notice especially if you're going
ten miles 15 miles 26.2 miles you want a
smaller watch that you don't notice on
your wrist
that's super lightweight but you still
won't make any compromises with the
features and that's the 735 XT it also
has a wrist heartrate monitor so it's
going to measure your heart rate through
your wrist during activities and all day
long and it pairs with those external
sensors as well like the HRM run that
sort of stuff so you can get those
advanced running dynamic stats and it
has pretty good battery life it's about
14 hours on a single charge now one word
of warning with battery life whenever
you see a number quoted you got to
discount it a little bit just because
you're not gonna run right out there and
you know go to your marathon you're
gonna probably take a an hour or two to
drive there you're gonna go somewhere
else and you're gonna eat up battery
life in the way you're gonna get
notifications on your wrist and so there
are things that chop it in that battery
life but 14 hours is pretty good for a
watch of this size and again if you just
care about running and you're not doing
cycling and all this other stuff it's a
heck of a watch now it will track
cycling swimming and a whole host of
other sports but I think for runners it
really checked every single major
important box now I know that's just a
quick overview of the 735 again our full
review is down below in the description
I personally spend a lot of time on that
one and then one of my favorite things
about the 735 xt is because it is now a
couple of years old it is a lot more
affordable than it used to be it's now
about you know like 300 to 350 dollars
it just kind of depends where you get it
at in the time of year you get it at
I'll link it in the description for all
of these and this one so you can check
the current pricing when I'm posting
this video or when I'm recording this
video it was 315 dollars so for a
serious runners watch
that's actually pretty affordable
especially considering the fact that the
forerunner 645 is like I think it's 5
400 or $500 the 235 is still expensive
and even some in the lower end Garmin
watches creep up there so I think 315
about there that's a pretty good price
for a watch and speaking of a good price
for a watch subscribers you will know
this and you're probably sick to death
of hearing this
but the fact that matter is we look for
deals every single day there are
thousands of people that use our free
mobile app and our website and they find
the best 100 deals of the day every
single day we don't sell anything
we just source those deals some of them
are exclusive some of them aren't and we
save people a heck of a lot of money one
thing that's pretty cool and I think I
have said this before is that our mobile
app hit 100,000 downloads which is
awesome so a lot of people are using it
and I think that you will find it
helpful as well now let's get to the
best budget watch and this one sort of
combines itself with the best average
person runners watch that's kind of like
me right
I run typically under 10 miles every
single time I do know all of the stats
but I'm not hardcore into this stuff
sometimes I get about 15 miles but it's
usually pretty rare and so I think for
the average person that runs typically
between 2 and 5 miles you can't really
do any better than the forerunner 25 now
the reason I like this one is that is a
good combination of standard features
that you want and price so the MSRP for
this one is about 100 dollars I'll link
it down below in the description but it
will give you it still has GPS built in
so it will give you your pace your
distance it can pair with a heart rate
sensor so you can get your heart rate
data calories information and then a few
other tidbits as well on top it's a
pretty durable watch it's you know
pretty unassuming I mean it's it looks
plastic and it looks more affordable but
I think there's a lot of people out
there that say I want to leave my phone
behind and I just want to use a watch
and that is the 425 plus it will pair
with your Garmin Connect app so you
don't need to plug it into anything to
sync your data it's it's a little
outdated but it's still pretty modern
and I think a lot of people will
appreciate this watch now getting on to
the best overall watch if you don't care
about price the best watch you can get
from Garmin is the Phoenix 5 plus series
now I have personally been using a
Phoenix watch for many years and I'm
sure to subscribers this is not gonna
come as any surprise to you I really
like the Phoenix lineup they are a great
combination of everything out there they
are a runner's watch a triathlon watch
an outdoor watch or smart launch a heart
rate sensor an activity tracker and
or so they really have everything the
biggest downside with the Phoenix 5 plus
series is that they start at $700 which
is where I lost 90% of the people
watching today's video but I will link
it down below in the description at a
place that doesn't charge sales tax so
hopefully you can save a little bit of
money there now what makes this watch so
special is really the combination of
everything I'm actually wearing the
Phoenix 5 plus they also make the
Phoenix 5 X plus and a 5s plus the S is
smaller for smaller wrists and it seems
like you know young ladies and and and
you know active women are sort of going
towards that Phoenix 5s and then the 5 X
is for anybody that's really hardcore
into climbing exploring trekking Dillon
on our team who he's out there somewhere
he actually climbed Mount Kilimanjaro
which is pretty awesome that's the
tallest peak in all of Africa and he
used the 5 X it didn't save his life or
anything but it was it was cool that he
did that and that really adds two things
battery life and then it has a pulse
oximeter widget but I think most people
can get by with either the Phoenix five
plus the Phoenix 5s plus it has GPS
GLONASS Galileo heart rate sensor pairs
with heart rate sensor advanced stats
activity tracking everything you can
pretty much imagine plus as storage for
music so you can use I Heart Radio or
your personal music and stream it
straight from the watch now I did a lot
of other videos and other pieces of
content about Phoenix watch hits and
I'll link those down below in the
description just because I really don't
want to reopen an old wound in today's
video anyways that's my list I'd really
like to know what you think there are
plenty of watches from Garmin that will
make the honorable mention list but let
me know what you think which one do you
have which one will you go with I have
any constructive criticisms put those
down below I'll see you guys next time
have a great day
