Hi!

I LOVE my Garmin 235- I'm going on 4 years in December. It's starting to get a little glitchy (freezes a lot, etc.). I want to ride it out through the summer but I was just curious to know if any of you have had the 235 and then upgraded to something else. I was looking at the Fenix but it might be more watch than I need.

    I've upgraded, in the past, most recently to the 935 (cheaper version of the Fenix 5). It's definitely more watch than I need, but it was the cheapest Garmin option that did what I wanted and did it well. Everything else is just gravy. IMO, I don't want to have to fight with my watch to get it to do/track/read what I want to do/track/read. I just want to hit the start button when I start my workout and the end button when I end my workout. I don't want to have to try to make a pre-set workout mode fit into what I'm doing. I've done that before with previous watches and it's annoying (at best).

    For me, one of the other reasons I upgraded was that the 935 was looks and wears more like a traditional watch, so I'm more apt to wear it for things other than running and biking. For as expensive as these things can be, if I can get a bit more wear/use out of it, then that's definitely a good thing.

    All in all, I'm definitely happy with my upgrade.

    Hope that helps.

    I love my Fenix 5X.

    Sometimes if your Garmin is freezing, it can help to connect it to a computer (so it mounts as a drive) and delete the old activity records you've recorded. They're already synced and you can download them from the server if you ever want to.

    My 230 is still working perfect. But a 245 Music tempts me.
