Thanks I'm looking for something to track my running on a treadmill, any recommendations?
Forerunner 35 is a great option for it price, honestly. I bought one just to start running some miles again after year long hiatus.
Additionally, it hard to find a modern specs of fitness smart watch for under $70 therefore I wholeheartedly recommend the 35's as a baseline comparison to upper tier fitness smart watch or entry level for a starter of course, that is if you are able to find one at this time.

For treadmill tracking you're better off getting a zwift pod for your shoe for accurate measurements. The FR35 is actually pretty good - though I think it's sunsetted in terms of updates.

Yes but the FR 35 is still $40. There isn't much to lose. this was over $120 back in 2018 at retail

I have a Garmin 35. They discontinued this watch. I really like it though. It has the most comfortable wrist band I have seen. Very soft rubber. The watch works great and the app is great. Having said that, my watch is 1.5 years old and the screen is starting to fade on the side and one of the buttons on the side stopped working. The side button that stopped working is the one for selecting workouts which has rendered the watch into nothing but a watch. I believe the battery inside is starting to swell hence the screen issues. The battery is not replaceable as the unit is glued together. Buyer beware.

For $40 that can please users for over 1 year, why not? Again there's nothing to lose other than waiting for the best workout smart watch on a cheap which would require waiting more longer. does it make sense to wait until BF 2021 or Prime Day in July for better watch for more $$ to spend on? personally that's totally unnecessary especially if those two watches ARE available near you but hey your $$$$.

Agree. I was looking to buy this deal and just swap my black bands over. None in stock near me.

They both are very limited, I wouldn't recommend either for running or any other sport.
Why? I don't think it fair just to say "I don't nor wouldn't recommend" without mentioning any other unbiased alternatives
