I liked my Fenix 3, but sold it in the end as it took an age to GPS lock compared to my very old FR910xt, which I'm still using (and held together with gorilla glue and a bit of sellotape).
Optical HR is naff. Don't bother.

I like the optical HR on my Felix 3 .. may not be accurate as chest strap but it’s consistent and gives a quick confirmation (or otherwise) to running by feel.. I would defo like to have music on there to avoid carrying anything else.

I’m potentially stuck in pre-C19 times here, the reason I want optical heart rate is that I fairly often forget my HR strap when packing for travel, so if the watch could do it as well that would be useful backup.

Dammit
My Fenix 3 refuses to die but I do like the idea of a watch that also does heart rate, so interested in the opinions of the 945 (or other shiny new device).
