Do you always wear the 235?

Hello,

I'm wondering how comfy this is as an all day activity tracker or if most of you are justing wearing while exercising? I'm really interested in hearing if women find this comfy to wear? It certainly is a lot smaller than Garmins of the past but still a significant size.
  • I'm not woman, but I do wear mine except in the shower and while charging. It doesn't have to be as tight during 24/7 mode as when running so is comfortable for all day wear for me.

    I wear mine 24/7 and find it one of the comfiest watches I've owned. I do tend to have it a little looser for all day wear than during exercise.
  • I am a guy, who my buddies say my wrist is smaller than a lot of women's. 5'10" 145. Have worn the 235 24x7( except when showering/ charging) since 11/20/15. No issues.As noted in previous post I tighten it 1 notch when I run, other than that it is comfortable, even when tightened when I run.
  • My wife has been wearing hers all day since the day she got it...
  • Great feedback, thanks. Some women enjoy wearing big watches but I've never caught onto that. At least if the 235 is comfy, perhaps I can get my head around how big it looks.
  • I have a fairly svelte wrist for a guy, but the 235 fits perfectly size-wise without looking like a huge monstrosity.
    I wear it 24/7 excluding showering, but I have it 1 notch looser for regular wear than when I'm running.

    I previously had a forerunner 10 I used only for runs. Wore a small, metallic band women's dress watch the rest of the time. Received the 235 for a gift and it has replaced the other watch (and the pocket pedometer I carried for years.) Only very occasionally wear a dressier, more petite watch now. I also worried I would find the 235 uncomfortable as it is supposed to be worn slightly farther up the arm than my other watch. However, it has not been a problem at all.
  • No woman, but guy with smaller wrists...

    I do wear it 24/7 (except when showering or charging), not as tight as when I would run and when sleeping I tend to put it a bit looser as well. In the beginning my skin got irritated by the rubber band, but that seems to have settled now. Adjustment period maybe?

    Perhaps I was wearing it too tight or just had to air my skin every now and then. No issues anymore, pretty comfy (though putting it looser every now and then does feel nice as it can get a bit warm/moist under the rubber band)
  • I seem to be the odd one out :D

    I used to wear it 24/7 but now, as I found the sleep tracking a little inaccurate I take it off to sleep, otherwise it's on the rest of the time...even in the shower.

    Definitely find it comfy but I do need to keep loosening and tightening the strap depending no on activity and how warm I get
  • I doubt that I will be wearing mine for sleep. It's good to know that it feels good on the wrist and that it looks ok.

    Thanks for the feedback. I will be ordering one today!!! :)
