I'm in the market for a new fitness tracking device as my 735xt has bit the dust again. Won't calibrate to treadmill even after a hard reset and firmware is updated. 5 miles uploaded as 3.86 the other day on Garmin Connect. As well, sleep is off. Says I was in bed at 8:56pm when I was on the phone until 10:00pm. Finally the HR looks off. I did a two hour recovery run on Sunday and it had me over 180bpm. Effort level was literally a walk in the park even though I know there was fatigue in the legs. Regardless it actually went so high it was No Zone.
I'm looking at upgrading to either a 745 or 945. The 745 is $499 and the 945 is $599. Key differences are the 945 has maps and the 745 doesn't. The other difference is battery life the 745 is 16 hours and can go up to 24 hours using one GPS, disabling alerts, and disabling auto sync to the phone. The 945 is 36 hours.
Ill likely use mine for running, treadmill running, trail running, swimming, and open water swimming. I use a 520 for my bike and Zwift indoor.
I pretty much specialize in IM 70.3's. Once I go sub 5 hours (last race 5:01) I'll probably do a 140.6. I have an affinity for Xtri and would love to do the new one in Utah. In other words Ultra's aren't something I'll be doing.
Which watch would suit me the best?
