I've lost count of the Forerunner / Edge units I've been through since the non-GPS Forerunner 50 so many years ago, and don't think I've pulled the trigger on many of those purchases without consulting one of your written or video reviews first. The 955 is now the latest of those very informed purchases.

Hi DC Rain Maker I have had my 955 a week now. I still currently have my Galaxy Watch 4 classic 46 4g. I have been walking the past few days and the stats compared to the smart watch 4 are far different. The 955 is about 10 per cent lower then galaxy. I have done my first swim with the watch and it was amazing. It clocked in 269 kcals burn. The lengths were a not fully correct but I could edit the whole work out it I wanted. The galaxy does not have this feature, my stats on the galaxy was 444 and 20 length. I done 14 in total. So the Garmin clocked in 16. I just need to do a in door bike ride to get the final workout. I can not wait till I get a full 1 month of working out to get a full system brake down. Your video is amazing.

It does have brick workouts, under multi sport. You can create custom activities up to 5 sports per workout/race or use the existing triathlon. Transitions are with the lap button, not sure if there is an auto setting.

I'm currently training for another Ironman, and it's gets frustrating sometimes when you start an activity and it saysi should be resting, or shouldn't be training, as you will know IM training is 6 days a week, I'd love to see that added, then I'd consider upgrading to a Fenix 7, or I may even go for the 955. 👌

Stryd actually moved away from using the RD standard despite Garmin building out a standard basically for them to use.

Good stuff, thanks ! That readiness widget and the adaptive training program for an event look pretty interesting. Now is "readiness" just "nice" or "need" ? Got some doubts about that unless you're an athlete pushing the limits and if you're doing that you've probably got enough experience (or help, i.e. coach) to know what you're doing. As for features coming to the F7/Epix, please tell us they're going to activate multi-frequency on the non-sapphire versions !

I have the Instinct Solar. I might just get this watch sometime, maybe when there's a nice deal on it. That thing is solar too and it does all of the running performance data. Instinct Solar is a rugged watch thats made for doing things like rock climbing and running on beat up trails. I actually did get into a bike accident a few weeks ago and I wore the Instinct Solar that day. That thing saved me from all of the hassles, thats for sure, it stayed in one solid peice with litterally no damage on the watch. Any other gamin watch? Its probably badly damaged, just like what happened to my bike.

Love your reviews, have been reading your stuff for a long time. Have you found that some of the interface is different between this and the Fenix 7? I saw some other site that said the map usage is different like double tapping the map zooms it in on the Fenix but not the 955.

Since the training readiness depends on sleep quality, I guess it'd be useless more me because Garmin's sleep algorithm doesn't work for me (always reporting hours of awake time so sleep quality always poor).
