[@BikeRunTech]

Oh boy oh boy. I have come a long way to find the perfect watch. Here is my story for who cares and who might be struggling. Yeah the struggle is real 😅. Purchased a Garmin 255s music. It was and is a fine watch but no training readiness. Something I really wanted to have. Also found that pacing was lagging quite a bit. At least my unit was. Other then that a perfectly fine watch. After that I purchased the Forerunner 965, had everything I wanted and needed but the size of the watch was way too big on my 17,5cm wrist. I found it to be completely out of proportion. The watch optically also seems even bigger due the design and bezel. Also as crazy as at seems I am not a fan of the amoled. Just don’t want that brightness in my face. It looks so popping and childish to me. Personal preference not trying to offend anyone here. Tried yhr Garmin 265s the proportions and size where okay but still that amoled was too much for me. Tried the COROS Pace 3 for a couple of days. Didn’t do it for me. And now I found the perfect watch the 955 it may sound crazy but that 1. Something millimeter in sizing makes a huge difference with the 965. This watch sits perfect on my wrist. Has all the features. Does not distract me with the amoled. It’s under the radar, rugged and also had the navigation and maps. Yeah finally got my unicorn watch 😍

[@Dnserror88]

I understand!! Tried so many and ended up with the 955 and couldn't be happier. Had the 265 but like you, I found the amoled display distracting and too "in your face". Also I prefer the true always on that MIP displays have. Also had the Pace 3 but that was way too small for my wrist and wanted something a little beefier. There's a few others I tried like Amazfit, Samsung..

All + Multiband is also the winner for pace training or when you like to run an exact pace. With the other two the gauge will be really hectic and it is hard to have the right pace displayed. But the All + Multiband it is really stable like you would expect. For bike rides I take GPS, thats totally fine because your speed is much faster and the watch can calculate your position way easier.

Thanks for such a thorough review! One of the biggest reasons I follow your channel and read your reviews. Always top content! Really want one of these but 1) can’t trade in my old Garmin for the 20% discount till the 955 has been out for 6mo and 2) very curious to see what new products and features Apple releases in the fall (AppleWatchOS9 will finally give us a triathlon function!). My thought is if the Apple Watch stuff is good AND they address battery life I’ll stick with Apple. But if they do nothing about the battery life I’ll trade in my old Garmin for that 20% off a newer model and get the 955. 👍🏻 Competing in 70.3 and marathon events this year and 70.3, Ironman, and marathons next year so battery life will be crucial.

Thanks for the detailed video, Ray. I bought the 945 LTE and it looks like most of these features are coming to the 945 LTE too. Does anything in the 955 justify the extra $50 besides maybe the fact that it may receive updates for longer? The upcoming could very well be 945 LTEs last update FWIW. Any idea how long Garmin plans to support the 945 LTE? I have the 955 on order and trying to make up my mind before my return window closes. Thanks.

[@stephenrobinson4449]

You are on the same page as me. Just received the 955 a few days ago and trying to decide between the two. The size is the issue as the 955, although and I'm not sure which to keep. The slightly larger screen is nice. The things driving my decision, apart from the size, are the touch screen (having had the 610/20/30 before I really liked the touch screen) and the in app ability to setup data screens etc. I am hoping the in app ability to setup data screens will come to the 945LTE with the expected firmware update together with the other statistical information updates. Would be interested in your thoughts once you get the 955.

[@junglejimbo2000]

Alright mate, great video and info. Maybe someone else has asked this but I'm trying to decide between the two options:solar and non and wondered who might benefit from the longer battery life? I am a runner , cyclist and walker but rarely do anything that would take longer than a day or two. Is this solar option aimed at mega endurance types or could someone like myself benefit? I also wondered what happens to sleep and training data when charging the watch? Any help is greatly appreciated 🙏

[@maxwang2562]

yeah solar lasts longer but I don't think it's worth it for a hundred extra dollars. That is, unless you run ultra marathons or go on super long hiking trips.

[@ironmantooltime]

I don't think u need solar. You're just as likely to do an ultra event on an overcast day. Just have a powerbrick handy for when u might need it.

[@ericlafortune8150]

[@kremsku]

I wish Garmin would prompt you for used gear also after (or before) a workout. It's always cumbersome to go and edit the activity with the mobile app / browser and change it afterwards. If I have three different running shoes in Garmin Connect, the watch could prompt me to select which of those three I used for said workout. I would use the mileage tracking a thousand percent more often.

[@Fozzee.1970]

You can change it easily in the mobile app?

[@kremsku]

@@Fozzee.1970 I don't think it's easy/convenient enough with the mobile app. I know it can be done :)

[@Emiljon]

Still no direct import of swim workouts from Training Peaks? I really wish this would be given more attention. It's a major PIA when compared to the Wahoo and Coros watches being able to import them with no issue. It's a shame walking into the pool wearing a $500+ watch, but your swim workout is written on the palm of your hand with an ink pen. As much as I want to stay in the Garmin ecosystem, it would really streamline my training to have the swim import on the Coros/Wahoo.

[@watsanlik]

Question on running power: I just purchased 955 end of Dec 2022. I don't use the footpod or any accessories, but the watch is showing running power at the end of the run. Is this right? wonder has the watch OS been updated to show power even without the food pod. Thanks!

[@alexmlawsky4170]

Great recap and explanations...thanks! Question for you and others here. With all the technology and features in the 955 it same like I should start using the 955 to collect all the data when I ride. Currently I use my 1030 to capture all the ride data and then that is uploaded (in my case) to Training Peaks, Strava, and Garmin Connect. To get the full benefits/features & insight that Garmin has developed would you recommend using the watch to collect the data and upload to the platforms and use the "head unit" as just a display then purge/trash after a successful watch upload? This has me thinking maybe someone (if they have not already) should make a "monitor" head unit that connects to the watch that could be configured to display any of the watch data fields or generated information. Or give the users the ability to run their Edge units in full monitor mode. With all that said maybe I should play around with "Extended Display Mode" on my Edge units..... I just don't believe it would be a full monitor mode. fyi using the term Monitor mode like the AV world does. ;) lol

[@stevevinck4452]

Have you tried already ? My 1030 broke down and now I'm thinking the same . If I can use this watch to do outdoors ride and zwift indoors it would be a big help for the training status etc ...

Ray! Thanks for the awesome review! I'm in process to change my sportwatch... I have always used Polar and I feel a sort of affection to the brand (now sporting a Vantage V). I really can't decide between 955 or VV2. I mostly use it for cycling since I'm not into swimming and I quit running after a knee problem. The new 955 appeals me a lot and seems to provide tons of info even if I suppose Polar does the same just compacting them in easier way to read. There are just 2 things that make me hesitant : I love the sleek design of Polar and I am scared to loose continuity in my training log if I change ecosystem. Still it's a tough match so that I can't decide. Any input? Thank you in advance!

Same situation I have. I have used polar since 2007 and for last 4 years having V1. I do cycling most and had garmin edge in parallel to polar. I ordered 955.

Thanks for this great video Ray. Still debating between Epix 2 and 955 Solar. Price aside, which one do you prefer? I have not been able to see or try neither of the watches. I am very keen on AMOLED but also tempted by longer battery life (I am runner, so it is more a convenience than actual need) and weight of the 955. Is the difference in weight that noticeable? What would be your preference? Thanks

Once you see the Amoled, it’s hard to choose anything else

Are you going to do a video like this for the FR 255?
