Interesting question, I've always been an upgrader with Garmin since the FR205. Like others on this thread, I 'stopped' at the 920xt.
Years ago, the big issues were:
GPS Connectivity, Time to connect
Battery Life (need enough for an IM)
Waterproofing
Swim Data
Multisport mode
Size
ANT+
WiFi upload of workouts
Step by step these were addressed (205 -> 205 -> 310 -> 910 -> 920)
The 920 was the watch that addressed all the major failings of previous watches.
That left nothing in terms of core functionality to justify 400$ for an upgrade. Yes, new features have been added. but the core stuff that was needed (list above) had already been done.
It's a bit like power meter pedals - I have the Assioma - I can't think what else can be done to improve it (same for Vector 3).
It will be interesting to see what Wahoo does for the watch.
