Fenix 6

@@Digitall3 that’s not a thing

$100 for Amoled would be a no brainer, but in reality the Epix is double the price. I cancelled my Epix order (which had been on hold for 30 days due to no stock) for the 955 (only took 1 day to process). I saw a picture someone took of their epix screen while on their wrist an hour after my 955 arrived and I was honestly slightly disappointed with my purchase, but for double the price, I couldn't justify it. Guess it just depends if you have money to spare. The 955 is surprisingly light though.

Given that you need to wear the watch 24/7 to fully take advantage of the new training/recovery metrics, the lighter 955 may make more sense...even with a lower quality screen.

@@pmfahey not really the Epix is light in the wrist. I couldn’t go back to a standard screen now. It’s definitely too expensive though

Go for Epix. Best Garmin so far.

And here comes the 965

255 doesn't have training readiness which is the best new feature imo

I would assume so, I don’t understand how a lower level device can have more features than the flagship devices

@@etbrown94 exactly it’s a different segment than the forerunner. Harmon has too many segments and a product mess. But what you can see thanks to polar and others, ist that they push the 400 dollar sweetspot with multisport now and a lot of features. Sure they will update „higher“ devices but looking at their pricing I would be really angry if I spent hundreds more for slightly more features. Battery and maps are the only outstanding features for a far higher price throughout the different segments

Yep all coming to Fenix 7 and Epix 2 (and 945 LTE). See dcrainmaker for more details..

@@rob8939 is it not coming to just the 945 watch?

@@amandamanny3527 not as far as I have seen/read so far - 945 is built on older technology same as likes of the Fenix 6 so it doesn’t seem many of these features will be coming to it unfortunately. 945 LTE is much newer and only came out last year.

The 945 is cheaper now Mark & it has maps! Jake's just pressing the button on getting the 955 😉

@@TheDeterminedRunner cheers mate. The 945 has been top of my list for a while but I haven't done that much research. The 955 is now quite tempting but the bank account could have the final say! Hope Jake enjoys his new watch 👍🏻🏃‍♂️

@@markg99 i have a 945. Great watch. Tho I'm lowkey looking to upgrade cuz why not, lol. Wanna buy mine? 🤣

@@amandamanny3527 I've heard good things about it. The new one is tempting though! 😁👍🏻

I'm a physics nerd. The difference exists but it would be impossible for you to notice. If I were to guess without the math. I'd guess maybe it would charge by 1% less per year.

I have a screen protector on mine, and it still charges fine. I base this off the readings on the solar intensity widget

Derek, we have the same concern. The 955 bezel is so wide it seems a waste *not* to have the solar ring, but I’d hesitate to do it at the expense of too much clarity…especially since the recovery and readiness features require 24/7 use.

@@pmfahey i'm hoping RunTesters can comment and/or some photos will start appearing on the web. from what i understand, even the touch screen layer reduces visibility. the images from Chase the Summit's review (non-Solar) seem to suggest the non-Solar version is just fine. i'm not so sure as i squint at videos of the solar version. FWIW, the bezel on this watch is the same "width" as the 945LTE, and less than the 945. but i wouldn't mind making use of the solar ring and the extra days/hours added, but if it dramatically affects visibility, i'll save $100 and stick with the wider bezel.

I’ve been looking everywhere but no one seems to have raised the issue. It seemed like a fairly common complaint about the F7 Solar.

I can only be cautiously optimistic that it’s overall less an issue. I do see some increased reflectivity in theis video but hard to judge how noticeable it would be indoors.

What I *really* want is a 955 with an AMOLED screen, but...

In same boat. did you get your answer?

The 945 is more expensive than the 955 on the UK website (no sale). We don’t get the LTE version

The 945 lte was just launched last year. But yes, the 55 lineup launched cheaper than the prior models in both Canada and the UK

It's hilarious. I blind tested myself for the last month. It's like dead on for me. I'll get up work out and rate my feeling. It directly relates to body battery. I'm excited to see what the more updated features to my venu do!

My FR955 tells me about body battery, training readiness and stress, and all of that stuff, it is very accurate with my actual feeling

Have you tried checking its specs?

you can turn it off completely or for certain modes etc. it's highly customizable. that said, i have the fenix 6pro & i don't miss a touchscreen. i guess im kind of curious about the quick glance of the widgets & it would be nice for maps, but i paid $240 for my watch & can't justify the price of getting a touchscreen right now.

@@dogwalk3 It's good that you can turn it off. I have the 945. What I like is that the 955 is smaller because the 945 is huge.
