Knowledge is power, and the 735XT proves it. Combining an optical heart rate monitor with a rich assortment of features, it provides every essential metric needed by serious runners and triathletes. The heart rate monitor does away with the need for an HR chest strap. A built-in accelerometer captures pace and distance. A metronome provides stride-cadence vibration alerts timed with your training plan. If you're unsure how to organize a training plan, use Garmin Connect's training resource guide to find and upload an existing plan. When paired with Garmin's HRM strap, it accurately measures your VO2 max along with essential stride data.
