    I recently got the 42mm version of the Epix pro and I love it.
    Having smaller wrists I'm glad they did a 42mm version of the Epix because the size is perfect for me.

      We’ll put up more details soon but after training with it all weekend at a training camp (swim / run but biked with an edge 1030) I can certainly tell you it is nicer than the 965…. It also just feels like a more premium watch.

    Thanks for posting this - I've just ordered a Epix Pro 47mm to replace my failing 955 and did wonder if I made a mistake in not going for the 965 - but you make some really valid points in favour of the Epix.

      After several months I’m still happy I got this. Countless times I’ve scraped my watch on something accidentally & it was fine. Couldn’t help thinking with 965 it would have been scratched just then.

    I have the Epix Gen 2 and prefer that to the 965 due to it feeling and being more robust on my wrist. Especially for mtn biking.

      Screen size not much difference. Night and day difference in quality + the resolution of screen.

    Hi there!
    I also have a Garmin 245 and I’m thinking of changing for this 965. But I have a question that I think you can help: wile on hiking ou trail running can I see de elevation gain? When I start the watch can I see the elevation gain from zero on the screen? Or just in the final os the track when I connect to my phone?
    Thank you very much.

    • @chriscotton4207
      @chriscotton4207 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I can see the elevation. Lets give examples.
      If I load a map I can see where I am, how much elevation there is, a graph of it and where I am on the graph.
      If it's not loaded. I can see where I start and build a graph on the screen as I go up and down.

      Epix is better because you can actually press stuff on the map and it gives you information like Google maps while 965 will show you map but you can't click on the different stuff you can just se their names

    What color to get? Titanium or Black? I mostly swim. Does one scratch more easily? Do other bands go with the titanium color? Why do most choose black?

      With black you can’t see the bezel. That’s the deal breaker for most people… do you want it to be seen or not?

    Hey, you have mentioned that you had to change the screen on your 965. I was bouldering and damaged mine very easily. Now I have annoying scratches and was thinbking to change the screen. Otherwise love the watch, although might change in for Epix Pro.

    Got the Epic for running, hiking & biking and got the Venu 3 for none sport and sleep as the Epic was a bit bulky for sleeping with. But I will say I am a bit concerned about the durability of the Venu 3 display as far as bumping into something.

  • @ThePenguin134
    @ThePenguin134 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    Man I would love to have the durability of the epix, but I just cannot personally justify the price hike from the 965. Also, It really annoys me that garmin decided to make the 965 have a curved glass screen that sticks out from the bezal that should be protecting it. It feels like they want them to get damaged even though they're supposed to be a high end model at $600

    • @radoslavstoev4550
      @radoslavstoev4550 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      It also doesn't have a sapphire glass which is a bummer, because it is also on the expensive side. I would probably go for the Pace 3 when it releases in my country, because I can not justify paying 600 dollars for a plastic watch with mineral glass.

      Screen is so much better, you’re not going to scratch it and you can with the 965. The body is more durable & designed to take more impact… so they stuck in activities like Kite Boarding etc… whereas the 965 is made to be lighter.
