It is worth jumping on the current 735 sale or spending more and getting the 935 or Fenix 5s...
- If small matters get the 735XT
- If style matters, get the Fenix 5s
- If battery life matters, get the 935 (e.g., you do IM 140.6 races)
- If a bigger, higher-res screen matters, get the 935

Most fair enough except the battery comment.
All of the above watches have plenty of battery for ironman, unless you are racing for 13hours+ then fair enough rule out 735.
I've done 2 ironmans on 735 now with hr and power sensors and had no problems.
Excellent battery life for daily usage and training. Barely charge it once every couple weeks (but use 520 for bikes).
Defo my favourite Garmin by far and no interest in looking at new models as it does everything in a nice size form factor.
Highly recommend the 735 personally with over a year of training and racing.
