Who buys a dress watch..?.?


I do. I have a beautiful U-Boat which is my daily wear. I'm not particularly interested in a smart watch as a daily wear. Am very happy with my 920 so will stick with that for a while now.


VVV pink!

>>Sales manager

HAHA! It's a stereotype for a reason though. At every sales meeting where I work first thing they do is roll up their sleeves and compare wristwatches. Tacky materialistic possessions are poor people's ideas of how rich people live.

I've heard it said that if you really want to live like a rich person, go spend money on a high end mattress. It's not exactly conspicuous consumption though, but will make you feel like you're rich.

I don't believe you, Amazon or anyone else; those are just pictures and words on the Internet. I refuse to believe it exists until I can hold a device in my hands and even then I might still be a little bit skeptical; I might need a representative from Garmin on-hand to verify it.

Now THIS is interesting:

From Plan to Performance with TrainingPeaks
There is nothing more satisfying than a workout performed to perfection. With the TrainingPeaks Connect IQ app, you can open your daily workout right on the Forerunner 935. Then, let the device guide you through your workout in real time, complete with intensity targets and interval durations straight from TrainingPeaks. After your session, automatically sync your completed workout back into TrainingPeaks for detailed analysis of your performance and to measure your progress toward your goals.


It sounds like they've linked up the new "TP Workout Builder" behind the scenes to sync with the FR935, rather than all that faffing with exporting files and copying them over as there was previously. That's definitely a step in the right direction! I really hope that feature comes across to the fenix 3, although from some of Ray's recent comments lead me to believe the fenix 3 is dead in the water now as far as new features go.


Edited to add: on second thought, considering it would be via a TrainingPeaks CIQ app then I guess there's more chance of that functionality making it over to the F3, so long as the F3's hardware can support it and TrainingPeaks make the app compatible with it. No sign of it on the CIQ store yet, but it'll be interesting to see how that pans out.

Also the new running dynamics pod is interesting, allowing running dynamics without the chest strap; kind of predictable given the widespread implementation of oHR in all the new units.

If you're a TL;DR type: it's a Fenix 5 in a more sporty shell. And it *will* have a quick release (though not available yet), unlike the Fenix 5.

"But I suspect there will (probably rightly), be some disappointed people with one area: The size/form factor. Specifically that for triathletes, many have actually enjoyed the larger/rectangular display seen on the FR920XT and the umpteen generations before it"

from DC review

I'm one of the guys that are disappointed. the rectangular display is one of the things that differs the 9** family from the other watches. i can't understand why the new one is circle..this is only a plastic fenix 5 even in DC opinion.

I never liked the square design so I'm good with the direction Garmin is heading.

i obviosly respect your opinion but with the 90% of garmin watches with round design maybe just one with a square design is not so bad.

In my opinion it could be a way to have something that is not a 'cheaper fenix 5'

You can. 1-4 fields per page with multiple pages. Very customizable.

Maybe. Or maybe they've realized that they haven't sold any 920xt watches since the 735 came out last year. (Think about how inexpensively you could get the 920xt last Christmas.) I suspect the market is telling them that we like round watches with HR in them. . .

yes but exactly as it happens with the fenix the 4-fields combination is not very 'readable' (sorry it s a brutal translation of an italian word :) ).

with a rectangular one every field has a greater font size.

As far as visually seeing 3 fields, doesn't the square display allow for bigger size even though the area of the display might be equal to the new circle one? I really like that for my 910xt as I have the activity time in the bigger top while, the 2 smallers ones are for less used split and mileage.

I don't think Garmin took a look at the 735 sales figures, had an epiphany and ran to the manufacturing and production department and yelled "scrap everything, make the 935 ROUND!!"

This was probably in the design process for a couple of years and the decision was made then.

Totally agree, with having a larger font size. I have eye issues so the larger the font the better. To have everything stacked on a round display makes it harder to discern data.

Product design cycles are planned out years in advance. The 735 was just the stepping stone.
