If you look for functionality, this watch is similar to the Garmin Fenix with much lower price tag. I am happy with what I have paid for.
I took two stars away. #1 The functions are too much and some are really confusing. It really takes me some time to learn, such as the GPS. I know the map is there but took time to figure it out, which is not quite users friendly.
#2. Compatible issues. I cannot find from the Garmin's website regarding it's compatible to certain power meter.
The watch will be a lot better if Garmin can simplify the usage and list compatibility on it's website.
Year after year, Garmin churns new hardware with minor improvements. Instead of supporting their customers that bought expensive ($xxx or hardware) by bringing new features, Garmin pushes the button and cycles another set of watches. The 955 solar is just that. If you have a Fenix 5 plus or higher, or 945 or higher, skip the 955 solar. The battery life improvements are negligible for ordinary users.
