Does the Garmin Forerunner 230 have a heart rate monitor?
This manual is for the Forerunner® 230 and 235 models. This device has a wrist-based heart rate monitor and is compatible with ANT+ heart rate monitors.
Can you swim with Forerunner 230?
If you want to start tracking swimming workouts, Pool Swim is the answer. You can only use it with the Forerunner 230, 235, and 630 because they have access to Connect IQ (many older Garmin watches don't have access), and they lack native swim tracking capabilities.May 2, 2017
Why was the forerunner 230 discontinued?
I believe that the 230 model was discontinued due to the lack of demand in comparison to the 235, which is consumer confirmation that the Forerunner 235 is the far better option in terms of features and value for money.
The Garmin Forerunner 235 still manages to stand out, despite its age. A lower price helps, but the depth and breadth of its tracking skills and training insights ensure it can still compete with newer running watches.Dec 4, 2019
