Forerunner® 25 — Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the Garmin Forerunner® 25 battery last?

Is the Garmin Forerunner® 25 thick for a 35mm watch?

At 13.9mm, thicker than 99% of 35mm watches — it will sit noticeably high on the wrist. Thickness, not case width, is what decides whether a watch catches on a shirt cuff.

What other watches are the same size as the Garmin Forerunner® 25?

Apple Watch Series 11 - GPS + Cellular · Titanium · 42mm, Certina DS Action Quartz 34.5 Stainless Steel - Yellow Gold / MOP / Bracelet, Tissot PRX Quartz 35 Stainless Steel / Red, TAG Heuer Formula 1 Kith 35 PVD - Blue / Black all sit within half a millimetre of the Garmin Forerunner® 25's 35mm case, so they cover the same amount of wrist.

What is the lug-to-lug of the Garmin Forerunner® 25?

44mm, against a 35mm case width. Lug-to-lug is the measurement that decides overhang: if it exceeds the flat width of your wrist, the lugs sit past the edge no matter how modest the case diameter looks.
