Garmin Forerunner 955 Status

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.

Nothing in the gamin FCC suggests an LTE device - https://fccid.io/IPH

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.

How did we use to manage before mobile phones with maps?

Are you sure? ;)
