The website make for a very good read. It will be interesting to see how they fare in the field. One of my big beefs with Garmin is that they, like many others, are adding too much 'fluff' at the expense of their core. I get that there are lots of people doing lots of different things, but trying to cram it all into one watch is not necessarily the best way to go.
For me, the best watch Garmin had for a long while for triathletes was/is the 920XT. Sure some people didn't like the form factor, but the feature list was just what was needed. I like the 935, but this is where they've started to add a lot of extra fluff.
It's actually quite hard to differentiate between Garmin offerings nowadays. Is the 935 the triathlete's watch or is it the Vivoactive n, Fenix...? Garmin has the capacity to very easily compete with the COROS with price and features. It'll be interesting to see what they do next year when one would expect a replacement for the 935 to appear.
Trust me I’m a doctor!
Well, I have a PhD :-)
