New official software

Hi friend, just my personal reflection: the 955 is not even a year old (June 2, 2022) and therefore not that long ago, don't you think it could be a great alternative to the 965 for those who don't want an oled screen but just a long battery life with display always in view in all light conditions? I guess that's why Garmin offers nearly identical firmware

Garmin always keep older models on sale. You can even buy a 945 from their webshop.

Yes, amoled has it’s disadvantages, but so has the 955. I like the bigger screen of the 965 and I don’t like the bulkyness of the 955. I never considered the 955 as a good replacement for my ancient 935.

But if you really want a mips screen, buy it now, because my personal opinion is that all garmin devices will get amoled. Hardcore sporters want mips, all other people want a fancy display. Garmin can make more money catering for people who want fancy displays.

Yes yes thanks for your opinions Elbo, in fact I had already decided to switch from my current 945 to 955 solar because I hate amoled on my watch, I'm just waiting for a finally stable firmware (I see that the beta fixes many bugs) and especially the black friday for a good deal 

I went 935>945>955>965.

I haven't had the 965 long enough to comment on it's health metrics, the 945 worked great, all the metrics were "trust worthy", but the 955 was not. I pretty much gave up on all the health metrics due to the buggy software. Every upgrade was worse than the last.

I'm really hoping the 965 is not another 955.
