Functionality Gaps Enduro 2 against F7 and F955

Hi all,

When will all the functionalities available in F7 and F955 be onboarded on the software/firmware of Enduro 2 and F7 (these 2 should be twins with only a difference on the battery and flashlight, as per my knowledge on the hardware differences)

(I'm comparing the 3 products on: https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/catalog/product/compareResult.ep?compareProduct=777730&compareProduct=854515&compareProduct=735563)

I'm trusting the exhaustivity of this comparison tool: I believe it is accurate and updated with the last upgrades from software/firmware upgrade

i need to know to buy, I cannot buy the 3 watches and while looking at the functionality gaps they are clearly firmware related and not hardware related.

in F955 not in E2: Relaxation reminders, On-screen workout muscle maps, Morning report, Race glance/widget, HRV status, Training readiness, Improved interval (includes open repeats, intervals data page, rest screen and auto detection), Course- and weather-specific race predictor, Sun and moon information, Available outdoor recreation profiles, Backcountry Skiing, XC Skate Skiing, Mapping, Navigating, Padel, Track Me, Project Waypoint

in F7 not in E2: Cardio workouts, TruSwing compatible

I cannot believe it will be left as it is. is there a real technical "limit" to do that ?

also, can someone confirm that the touchscreen functionalities are the same as F7 (not as FR955 as there are missing pieces such as double tap to zoom, or no graph history view with a finger on the timeline)

thank you very much in advance for your kind answer

Best Regards

Thomas

Yep - those of us who have used the comparison tool over the years have come to learn that the spec lists often leave stuff out on accident.

It's pretty safe to assume that the Enduro 2 has everything the Fenix 7 has, feature-wise. And even if something is indeed missing, it will be added very soon.

As far as 955 features go, both the Fenix 7 and Enduro 2 are still missing a few of those (particularly "morning report"), but Garmin has promised them later this year.

In the end, when all is said and done and all the updates have gotten caught up, the intention (according to what I've read at DCR) is that the Fenix 7 will essentially be a 955 "Plus", and Enduro 2 will be a Fenix 7 "Plus".

The new features like HRV status, Training Status 2.0, and Training Readiness seen in the Fenix 7/Epix 2 series Beta software will be added to the Enduro 2.
The official software update for the Enduro 2, Fenix 7, and Epix 2 will take place when the Q3 2022 software is tentatively released late August.
For those that would like the update sooner and would like to join the Enduro 2 Beta program, see how to enroll for Public Beta Program.
