Anybody with experience on either of these two watches? My old Forerunner 405 has had it, and I need to replace. I'm between these two. Thoughts and opinions on either welcome. And yes, I've read dcrainmaker on both and heard the podcast with him, and I want to stay in the Garmin ecosystem.

920 has all the features of the Fenix, plus extras. If money is tight, the Fenix works great. But if you can afford it, the 920 is the best money can buy, period.

Issues for me are more about functions, readability, ease of use, etc. Part of my hesitation with the 920 is that it seems so complex with so many functions. (though I haven't tinkered with it at a store).
That is my input. Sorry I don't know much about the 920, but I enjoy my 910.

In all seriousness, if you swim and want those metrics, get the 910 or 920. If you want the wifi/bluetooth connectivity, get the 920. That's the very boiled down and overly simplified answer.
Me, I'm a geek and will be selling my 910 soon to replace with a 920.

I count strokes in every single length - guess I'm probably OK with the 310 . Yay ocd!
Go 910xt or 920xt for triathlon.
- If you are on a budget, 910xt on eBay for $150.
If you are doing Ultra Marathons, get 920xt.
If you want to go hiking, get Fenix2.
920xt is only a learning curve if you have used 910xt. With that being said, it took me ~2 days of use while training to learn the 920xt. I have used the 920xt for Indoor Run, Indoor Swim, Outdoor Run and Outdoor Bike so far, all have been as accurate as 910xt. I also really like the HRM-Run if you want all bells and whistles (Cadence & Vert oscillation come with that).
The Fenix2 was not designed for triathlon, it was designed for outdoor activities. @Jason41 ?

as 310xt for about four years before a drop at just the right/wrong angle cracked the screen. The watch still functions but not if I ever took in the water. After the drop, I decided to upgrade to the 910xt at a fair price because the 920 was just rolling and couldn't be happier. Basically the same watch as the 310xt but much sleeker and the pool swim function. Not being someone who must have the next best thing I would still be using the "toaster oven" if it wasn't for th crack. That said, if anyone needs a duathlon watch on the cheap, I know a guy...

Also, I want to track my swimming as I can barely remember my lengths to swim a damned 200.
