Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Hmm, not working for me.

I wonder if it's the RideLondon effect? I recall strava being a bit on and off over that day a couple of years ago.

I'd bet there is more load on strava from the GNR than Ride London, and that neither of them match the 9:30am post parkrun load.

True but on the other hand the ride London will be about 10-50 times more data per upload

There's also a new 255 which has quite a lot more features than the 245 - is now a full on multisport watch and has dual band GPS for greater accuracy, and Garmin Pay.
DCR written review on it's way but his video is up on YT

I'm a bit confused now as to the differences between the 955 and Fenix7, they seem to have sort of merged.

Is the 955 just an F7 in a plastic case ?

I suppose there's the 2 size options for the F7 which you don't get with the 955. Any other significant differences ?

I think that's pretty close to the truth, yes. The 945 was pretty much a Fenix 6 in a plastic case, with a handful of software differences. Build quality plus the variations in size - for both 6 and 7 it's three sizes, with different sized screens and different battery capacity being the key differences. There's also the preposterous torch on the 7x I guess.
The weird thing for me is how dual-frequency was a top-of-the-range extra on the 7 series a couple of months ago, and now it's standard on the FR 255 at half the price of a basic Fenix 7 which doesn't have dual-frequency. Almost everyone who's bought an F7 or an Epix is going to be annoyed about that.
