Garmin Forerunner 935 was going strong and was about to hit the 5 year point... until I did the stupid thing of freediving with it.

Forerunner 935, had to wear my friends enduro for my one 100 miler though but it just about sees me through 100k

Fenix 8 47mm Sapphire. I've had a range of Garmins (Forerunner range: 35, 235, 935, 945, 955) but the 970 didn't appeal to me (accent colour on side and domed glass) so I got my first Fenix and first AMOLED watch (solar was thicker than my 955 which was already a bit thick under clothing). Love the look of the Fenix a lot more, plus better battery life

My 2019 Garmin Forerunner 935 is still going strong.

Ahhh I miss my forerunner 935 with its 2 week battery life, those were the days, this ultra 2 is not hateful though. Garmin does make a decent outdoor activity watch though.

I like my Garmin Forerunner 935. I liked the Fenix as well. Battery is great. It tracks swimming pretty well in the pool, I just turn it off when I'm kicking only. It does open water too. I use it for running and cycling and it's great - pace, time, laps, elevation, heart rate etc.

I’ve got the Race S, really like it! It needs charging more than my old Garmin 935 did, but I much prefer the simpler UI on the Suunto. The app is much better too but the Garmin did have some features I miss sometimes; card payments and music for example, but I’m happy with the much cheaper and smaller Suunto.

Loved the 935. Upgraded to an Epix 2 that was on sale last year and while it’s got a lot of new bells and whistles, the older 935 did just fine. I ended up giving my 935 to a friend and he’s been loving it too.
