FR645 or FR935

Former Member over 7 years ago

I currently have the Vivoactive HR. I upgraded shortly to the VA 3, found out quickly that it was not going to work for my marathon training & speed work outs. I do a lot of cross training, cross fit type work outs, that is why I had the VA HR. It worked out pretty good, but I wanted more info from my runs. I also really wanted a watch with sound as a run/walker who loves running with my friend who has a Garmin with an audible beep for her intervals. I want to upgrade my VA HR, I ordered the FR935 and it's on it's way actually...but I am debating on returning it like the VA 3 and waiting for this watch, minus the music. I don't plan on any tri's in the near future, I did a duathalon & was fine with just switching activities.
Is there any major reasons why I would choose to keep the 935 over the 645??

I guess one concern would be that Garmin choose not to make all apps available on some watches as a differentiating factor in order to ensure that they can sell the more expensive versions. I am new to Garmin, so don't know if this is how they operate.
If this is the case, then it could be an argument for choosing 935 over 645.

Actually, that app is done by Strava and not Garmin, and I'm not sure why they would limit devices unless there is a technical reason. For apps in the store, there is a "contact developer" link, so you could ask Strava if they will be supporting the 645.
