So my venerable XT920 has been stolen, so was looking at the Fenix 7 or Forerunner 965, anyone have any thoughts or experiences to help me choose?

Cheers

Forerunner 955?

All the functionality of the 965 but without the oled screen. It's still a decent screen and has better battery life. Loads cheaper too.

Fenix all day. There’s quite a lot on DC rainmaker about this but they’re different developer teams. My 955 was buggy as you like and functionally not brilliant I sold it and bought a Fenix 7, which is fantastic.

Picked up an Epix pro for £602 from Amazon a couple of weeks back.  I really like it. What are your priorities? Budget?

Yep, the 965 is astronomically expensive but overlooked in terms of features and updates in favour of the Fenix / Epix lines. Personally I’d go for an Epix over the Fenix 7. The Forerunner is better though if you don’t like bulky watches.

I've got a Fenix 7 which I really like - but it is a big watch

An Epix from here?

£375 for an Epix is probably cheaper than you’ll find a Fenix 7 anywhere. <br />I’ve been looking at one of these as n upgrade for my Fenix 7 but can’t really justify it, even at this price, as the Fenix is so good!
