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.

5KRunner says he doesn't expect it until next year. And he kinda tracks the trends and rumors for stuff like this and freely speculates. Take it for its worth though.

They are guessing "maybe" this month few weeks ago unless I misunderstood:

"A multi-watch launch for early September will comprise: FR45+, FR45S+, HRM-PRO, new Venu (LTE?), FR745 and maybe these FR955, FR955LTE and/or FR655."

He just posted something in comments either earlier today or yesterday that he doesn't expect it until 2021. I supposed that could be Jan 1 2021 of course, but still 3+ months away.

I agree if you run roads there is no reason to carry a phone, but for long days in high country/off roads and heck even off trails, a phone is almost mandatory for navigation. Paper maps have too large of a scale for any real sense of great navigation unless you get a 1:60,000 map or smaller.
