Next races on the schedule: none at the moment

True, I only used that feature once in 2020. :(

I don't understand why every GPS watch does not have a full mulitsport profile. It must be the easiest thing in the world to program - if the watch can do swim, bike, run then linking them together is easy. The *only* reason is market differentiation / pricing. A shame. My 920XT has been sorta fine - one replacement under warranty for a wonky barometer and multiple meltdowns requiring a factory reset. But replacing it with a millionaire's GPS watch? Not going to happen. When the 920XT goes claws up, I'll be buying a Coros or similar...

The damn thing won't quit working, and it does everything I *need* it to do. It works every damn day, no matter what. Even my friggin' altimeter still works.
So, I have no justifiable excuse to "have to get a new watch". "N+1" notwithstanding, of course.
Mine too. But to me it has the added benefit of a rectangular screen. I hate the circular ones. I'm hoping Garmin brings back the rectangular look in the 955
I couldn't agree more. The rectangular form probably optimizes the size of the digits in 4-screen mode, but I also just really like the unique aesthetic of it.
