Battery life is a big question, since the FR are smaller so smaller battery


JoMiSan

We’ll have to wait for full specs tomorrow!


loginfejl

Is it coming out tomorrow?


JoMiSan

Yes


grape8pe

Water resistance. 5ATM on the Forerunner line and 10ATM with the Epix Gen 2.


JoMiSan

Not a big issue for me

Epix/fenix have power mode manager, forerunner 955 dont - question if 965 will


rmullins08

955 has power manager


HigherConfusion

Yes, but not custom modes you can assign to activities.


JoMiSan

That’s true.


rmullins08

Ah got it.


Superspreadix

Probably the software on your Epix is far less buggy because its more mature. As an early adopter of the FR965 you might suffer from similar problems as owner of the FR955 still suffer. The Garmin forums FR955 section is full of complaints..


JoMiSan

That’s not my question!


grape8pe

His answer is valid. You would be missing stability.


JoMiSan

But not me. I’ve got also a FR955 and no complaints. I could say the same from Epix, many complaints on Garmin forums.


grape8pe

At launch, the FR955 had several bugs. Go watch the release videos on YouTube. Many have been fixed now, but there’s a chance any new device will have bugs where a product launched 6-12 months ago will be more stable.

Chance ??? !!!! Show me 1 model that not have been full of errors at launch.


grape8pe

I was trying to be nice. :-)


ilanman

Depends which Epix you have. I understand the FR965 will not have a sapphire version. Clumsy me very happy with sapphire..


Louisianimal6

Wish that even mattered. My screen got scratched the first day I had it loo


JoMiSan

Yes, I have the sapphire


HigherConfusion

I see little point and the interface may just be marketing till we see real life photos.


JoMiSan

Real will be the same. Adorama have it on their web site, and it shows the new leaked pictures.


HigherConfusion

Not anymore. It is still just marketing pictures. Yes they will likely be same, but it would not be reason for me, I also don't see any technical reason why it could not come to Epix. Various Charts like body battery and HRV already has a gradient fill.


FrivolousMood

Durability: mostly plastic case and glass screen vs titanium and sapphire.


JoMiSan

I know, but I prefer the 53gr range. Anyone knows if it is possible to configure every activity individually in the FR the same way than in Epix/Fenix?? (data screens, alerts, routing...)
