Knowledge is power, and the 735XT proves it. Combining an optical heart rate monitor with a seriously 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. On top of that, this run-specific bundle brings with it Garmin's HRM-Run strap to accurately measure VO2 max along with essential stride data including ground contact time, cadence and vertical oscillation.
