Hi Guys,
My doubts:
1) 945 memory? it says in hours... while the 5x+ is Gb
2) is there any limitation on the numbers of simultaneous apps, widgets, fieds, etc.
Thank you,
Have you got a 945 already?
Ouch - I just got a fenix 5 plus to get better GPS than my Forerunner 645M, should have waited for the 945? How much better is the GPS? - Thanks. Very interested as I can still return my fenix at this point having owned it for less than 24 hours (not too impressed with the screen vs. 645M - the huge borders, compared to the slick 645 take away from it).
Thanks
I own both a Fenix 5+ and a 945. My colleague in my office owns a 645M. The following is just my observation, isn't scientific or anything, so please keep that in mind :-) (SW Germany; trails in forests; no big city)
We sometimes run together and his 645M always recorded better tracks than my Fenix 5+. Not too much of a difference but he was not caught so often by the offsetting which the Fenix 5+ is doing (e.g. you are 10-20m to the left if wearing the watch at your left arm; or the opposite- I guess you get the idea).
After several runs with my 945 (including one trail race) I can say that it overall performs better than my F5+ because it also shows less offsetting and sometimes even manages to nail tracks below trees.
Especial when doing out/in runs at the same stretch, the Fenix 5+ draws a rectangle around the track, the 945 actually hits the "middle" up and down. That's pretty easy to spot when looking at my tracks.
Distance wise I also came to the point that it equals my Stryd's distance. I'm currently really happy with the 945 and keep using my Fenix 5+ for non-running (e.g. at work etc.)
I expected something worse to be honest because I also own a Suunto 9 with the same Sony GPS but luckily things turned out different (yes, I'm a running-watch geek; anyway the S9 will go on sale now ;-) )
Fenix 5+ and 645M are GPS+Galileo / 945 is GPS+GLONASS as currently being recommended by Garmin
Anyway I'd go with the device that you like the most. GPS in what ever flavor can never be perfect in the sense that it redraws the tracks that you see on a map. Sometimes it looks like people expect that but it won't happen.
Perfect - many thanks for that.
I have initiated an Amazon return for the fenix 5+ (something about it I just can't love, especially next to the very well proportioned looks of the 645M). I have a 945 on order arriving tomorrow - looking forward to the improved performance stats and the newer GPS chipset, battery life isnt really a concern. I guess Ill also keep the 645M.
