K5 Gus Jun 2022 1:52pm, 1 Jun 2022 5,176 posts	K5 Gus 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
K5 Gus Jun 2022 1:56pm, 1 Jun 2022 5,177 posts	K5 Gus 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 ?

Badger Jun 2022 2:06pm, 1 Jun 2022 15,271 posts	Badger 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.
