GPS Running Watch
With Multisport Features
Be a better athlete today than you were yesterday with the Garmin Forerunner 735XT GPS running watch.
This multisport watch is for athletes who want dialed-in data for training and a lighter load on race day.

Smart notifications, automatic uploads, and Connect IQ compatibility for custom Watch faces and apps make the 735XT the ultimate smartwatch for athletes.

Raise the Bar for Every Ride and Run
Forerunner 735XT is the first running watch that is compatible with Strava Live Segments. Your starred Strava running and cycling segments automatically sync with the 735XT for live feedback during your activity. You can also get alerts for segment starts and finishes, view leaderboard rankings, and see how your current effort compares to your record. So you make every effort a personal challenge with Strava Live Segments.
Garmin LiveTrack to Track Activities in Real Time
LiveTrack lets family and friends track your location in real-time while you’re riding, and now it’s even easier to use. When you enable auto-start, you can spend more time focusing on the ride and less on the technology. LiveTrack will automatically detect when you start riding, which means there’s no need to reach for your phone anymore. Auto-start is also compatible with the new Strava Beacon, which lets Strava Summit subscribers take advantage of the same great feature. It’s never been easier for you and your loved ones to have peace of mind while you ride.
