FR 945 vs Fenix 5X Plus. I was thinking about getting a 945 but the fenix is on sale at rei right now for almost the same price. As far as I can tell, these are the differences: 945 is lighter, but less durable. 945 has body battery and some other new firstbeat metrics. fenix works with garmin explore, it is unclear if the 945 will work with it.
The first is that the Forerunner 965 has a larger screen at 1.4” versus the smaller 1.3” on the Epix. The second is that the Forerunner 965 has multiband GPS, whereas only the Epix Sapphire editions have that. And finally, all FR965 editions have 32GB, whereas the base Epix only has 16GB (the Sapphire has 32GB).
