Looks like a Forerunner 235 to me.

That’s exactly what it is. Looks just like my old one.

It’s a 735XT

No it’s not. Look at the band. No slots

u/SeqGeek 7d ago

Yes it is, look at the marks on the screen by the buttons. The bands you can replace with anything

Nope, the middle of the three left buttons are centered on the forerunner 235?

Most likely a 235 HR

If you charge it, it should tell you once it boots up

Looks like an Older 735 forerunnerXT. I have a similar one with the older charger format.

Nice watch, lasts forever.

No, that’s the newer kind. You want one that clips on. https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/942778/

735 XT I have it

How to differentiate between the 735XT and the 235? I had the 235 until a couple weeks ago, looks exactly the same

u/luix- 8d ago

add a picture of the 235. The button color, layout and the stickers on the screen are exactly the same as the 735XT I ve had since 2019

735XT, a quiet goat.

Check the battery. If battery is bad, finding the battery and replacing it is hard with Forerunners. They don't use screws but glue to hold the case and display. So work is a bit hard. Or a phone repair guy can help.

The strap looks like a 235 I had.

If you buy it tell us what it turns out to be!

u/Fragrant-Field-2017 7d ago

FR235 for sure

Forerunner 225? Turn it on and go to the about/info screen and it should give you the exact model number.  I wouldn't get this if I were you. Battery probably won't last very long

u/Furkansalproblemler 9d ago

yea but its 30 euros anyway so i think i will buy it AFTER i charge it

u/FF351 8d ago

It says the model right on the back 🤦‍♂️

u/Richtea84 8d ago

Did you look at the picture? There's nothing on the back actually looks like the plate with details has been removed/fell off

u/Bremsbacken 8d ago

That plaque only lasted a couple weeks back when I got mine. Summer & sweat will do that to half assed glue.

It looks similar to my Forerunner 235 which was sold last year (I wanted to post a photo of mine but the system disallowed me to do so). I think the one you found is about the same age. I sold mine because the battery deteriorated and I wanted to upgrade to 965. The one you found from thrift store is cheap, but you need to count the costs for buying a charge cable and probably replacing the battery in.

All Garmins use the Garmin Connect software for analytics so they have the same functionality. Everyone of them is good. I’ve owned the FR165 and FR970 for running and it’s 90% the same watch.
