The replacement is much better- significantly faster to do everything, gps track is better, satellite acquisition is now almost instant. It is honestly like a different watch.
Vs the Fenix 3, I read the DC Rainmaker review of it, intending on upgrading- but was a bit underwhelmed. The 3 does do new stuff- support for apps, in particular, but you seem to lose a lot of stuff as well. Although I would think you could just add that back in an app at a time.
I also feel that I was possibly unwise in getting the Fenix II the moment it came out- early software and, I suspect in my case, not fully resolved hardware.
This means I am very wary of getting the III this close to its launch.
Final thing however- I ordered the BSX Insight gadget in November last year, still no sign of it BUT- the III could/should/might offer an app to connect to it, which the II won't. But I'll wait and see on that.
For now, I would get the II.
