735XT vs 945

Former Member
Former Member over 5 years ago

Hi folks,

I want to buy a new sport watch to upgrade from my Forerunner 35.

My main sport activity is running + a bit biking and swimming as an alternative and I do a few running events per year up to a half marathon and maybe a full one in the future which the 35 has been providing me with everything I needed so far. (I just don't track the swimming)

I will start training soon for a 70.3 triathlon next year and for that I want a multisport watch.

Now the question is will the 735xt be enough and not to old in terms of being maybe obsolete soon? Also, does the 945 justify being nearly £300 more expensive?

In the UK I can get a 735xt with HRM for £199 atm which seems a good deal for me Slight smile

Thanks in advance

Alex

    What do you mean by that? If the watch works now for running/triathlon training, then it will certainly work as well in the future.

    This is a very individual question, which you have to answer yourself. Some people buy the FR735XT, others buy the 945, so there is no general answer to this question.

    Yes of course, you are right. I was thinking about it the wrong way. Thank you.

    They keep pushing out bad software for the 735xt...I believe the intention is to get people to move to the 945.

    Interesting theory. At the risk of people moving to a different manufacturer. Wink

    I have both 735XT and 945. And I prefer a 735XT over 945 because of the GPS accuracy and lightweight.

    The 945 excel in battery life, which I used it for some race over 10 hours e.g. 100km trail. It also come with altimeter (not very accurate) and some fancy features like spo2, body battery etc...
