A several days ago, I checked Garmin US web site and I found a new model "Garmin Forerunner 935" was announced. I am not really interested in the new model since I just got "Garmin Fenix 3 HR" late last year and I did not plan to get any new model any time soon. However within a several months, fenix 5 was announced and it is available now and now Forerunner 935 is announced. I am just interested in what's new. The price is from USD $499.99 to 649.99. The price difference is if heart rate monitor(s) are bundle or not.
One of big improvements is a battery life. For Forerunner 735XT is up to 14 hours in the GPS mode, now Forerunner 935 is up to 24 hours which is the same as Fenix 5 series. It is a big pulse for hikers. It is also longer than Fenix 3 HR which is up to 16 hours. The water registrant is 5 ATM, on the other hand, Fenix series is 10 ATM. However it is probably not a big deal for using not in water. The price of Fenix 3 HR was adjusted to USD $549.99, however 935 is USD $50 lower, which is very attractive with some other new features. I guess it would be one of good selection people who are thinking to buy a new GPS watches.
It is usual facts that newer product introduce every several months. It might be hard to decide when would be a good time to buy a new product. One think I can tell is if people who use the previous generation of the products which does not have a feature to pair with a smart phone, I guess it is a good time to replace it to the current generation even if the current one is functional. I am pretty happen to replace my old Forerunner 910XT to Fenix 3 HR. I think it is very convenient especially with an embedded hard rate monitor.
