According to our smartwatch expert
Swimming, running, biking? You practice a lot of different sports, so you're looking for a watch that tracks all of these activities. The Garmin Forerunner 735XT does exactly that. The sports watch even has activity profiles for skiing, trail running, paddle sports, and strength training. Do you do multiple sports in a row? You can easily switch from, for example, the bike to the running profile, thanks to the automatic multi-sport function. The Forerunner 735XT has an integrated heart rate sensor and GPS receiver, giving you advanced information about your training. Are you expecting an important message? You no longer have to be on your smartphone constantly, because you'll get notifications directly on the display.
Note: an adapter isn't included. Do you want to charge the watch via a socket? If so, order an adapter separately.

For this I used the Polar V800 and the Apple watch. Also used various apps over the phone such as Runtastic and Endomondo. This is truly my best experience to date. I mainly bought it because of the waterproofness, the heart rate monitor on the wrist, the GPS (no longer carrying a phone) and the battery life. Those are such great pluses over the Apple Watch. This is my first Garmin. It all works easily and clearly. It's really just set up, put on and go. The statistics are extensive and the graphics are also easy to read. I wear the watch all day and night. The sleep stats are really funny. Too bad he doesn't include a daytime nap in the sleep stats. I think that should be addressed in an update. I run on a running schedule. This is very easy to enter on Garmin Connect and synchronize with the watch. The instructions as you walk are accurate and clear. Today I consciously walked a last kilometer quickly because I wanted to see it back in my records. In short, I am very satisfied.

I already have quite a lot of experience with GPS watches and this is definitely a windfall. You have everything at hand if you want to impulsively walk around. But the watch certainly offers enough depth for the triathlete. The optical heart rate monitor works quite well. The first minutes he is a bit off during intensive training or competitions, but then he works correctly. If exact heartbeats at short intervals are important, you can purchase an extra heart rate belt.
The battery will certainly reach its stated hours. But for a serious athlete it is still best that you connect him to the computer for 10 minutes 2 to 4 times a week to charge. With battey packs it is therefore also possible to do more day matches if that is your thing.
The only drawback I've discovered so far is that the watch can't give laps equal to kilometer splits in training. Something Polar does offer as an option.
I also wear the watch when I'm not exercising. It is much lighter than the other multisport models, which makes it much nicer on your wrist.
For swimmers and cyclists there are also all functions and a triathlon mode is also there. The functionality is the same as the 920 xt.

After years of happy use of a Forerunner 305, it was time to modernize. And since I practice triathlon, my eye fell on the 735. What strikes me is the fast GPS fix (I'm ready to start within 10 seconds) and I no longer need to wear a heart rate belt. After a workout, a quick transfer to Garmin Connect is a pleasure, where keeping the logbook is a breeze. And for the daytime you can choose a dial with a nice look. Only when swimming in a pool do I sometimes miss a job, but that could also be due to my imperfect technique. So work on the shop. But for open water, the GPS does its job. I am therefore happy to work on my preparation for the World Sprint Triathlon Championships in Rotterdam next year.
