I purchased the FR35 mainly for the wrist heart rate and step counting features. I have a Garmin GPS and had a Polar H1 (wrist strap broke). I will go trough the features I have used: HR Seems to be fairly accurate when I checked with my BP Monitor which also does HR. Steps When you do not do a specific activity like running, walking or biking the device counts your steps by your arm motion not the GPS. If you do some activity that makes your arm move even if you are sitting it will count as steps, so you need to be aware of that, but overall I think the step feature works well. Biking Works great, but you need to make sure the GPS is turned on. Walking Works great, tracked well when compared to a GPS Running and Cardio I have not used as of yet Sleep This is a great feature I did think I would use, but it tracks light and deep sleep along with bathroom breaks. Very interesting data reports. Notifications Another feature I did not think I would use but it is handy to get vibrating notifications without having to look at your phone or PC. Software Updates This was the only problem I had. When I got a notification about a Software Update, the device would lockup. After two calls to Garmin Support the Update feature is now working. Be aware of this potential defect. Durability I am concerned about the wristband since there are no replacements available now, but hopefully will come later if a problem. The device seems okay now, but I understand digital devices are only expected to last three years, I am guessing that will be the life of FR35 and supposedly something better will be available then anyway. Garmin Connect Software for you phone or PC The Garmin Connect program is great. after syncing you get all kinds of data including maps, elevation, HR, speed, calories, etc. It is fun to see your progress or lack of over time. That is all for now.

Can you use the golf application on the forerunner 35
I don't think so. I have not seen that application in any documentation.

Can you connect a heart rate strap to this?
I think so. Check it out on the Garmin WebSite. Mine works well without the strap
