Garmin Forerunner 955 Status

What is the latest timing expectation for the Garmin Forerunner 955? I’m trying to hold off replacing my 935 and am getting anxious.

It used to be 3 years, but now it has been more like two years.

Unless your 935 is at death's door, just wait. I had a 935 and now have a 945, and you really aren't missing that much. Some of the new stuff is cool, but in no way worth the steep upgrade price…

I agree, the 945 screen is small, it gives the illusion of larger size with the big bezel.

I'm not sold on LTE, but I'd upgrade my 945 to a 955 if the screen saw a sizeable increase.

I'm hoping they expand on the body battery functionality and able to do something like what whoop does with their device.

Looks like the 955 is on its way. Garmin is unloading the 945 with a $100 discount.

God I hope it has LTE, and in a way that preserves the great battery life of these watches. Could be a game changer. Apple’s LTE watches have pathetic battery life (sure, the LTE works, hope you don’t need GPS!).

I hope Garmin releases the 955 soon, I need a new toy to play with!

The Garmin website also has the 945 with shown as on sale with $50 off. It would seem that a new watch intro is imminent!

...hopefully with good software running on it.... who knows....

Well, I can tell you that I will not be paing Garmin to be a beta tester. After 945 issues I will make sure to wait a few months at least after launch before buying any new device...

Same here, really hope Garmin can increase text size, I'm 52 can't read the text from the 935 sometime whil2 running!

I dont worry about battery, as they can do it in Fenix series, thats why I'm thinking move to Fenix6 pro for 1.3" screen, but FR935 is really light for Triathlon!

Really hoping the FR955 has a larger screen also. At 53 years old, I also find that my FR935 screen is just a bit small for my eyes!

You can buy Fenix 6X it has better screen for you.
