                The battery life of the Garmin forerunner 35 is 7-10 days on watch mode and 4 days while using the optical heartbeat sensor. the 235's battery life is almost 2 weeks on regular watch mode but only 2-3 days when using the optical heartbeat sensor.

                The Garmin Forerunner 235 is a clear upgrade in every way over the 35. It's basically the same as the 35 except with major upgrades to the GPS, exercise capabilities, Garmin Connect apps, and route tracking.May 27, 2022
