I've had loads, from memory: Forerunner 110, 405, 920XT, 935, 945
(Thank $DEITY they abandoned the touch bezel controls, they were properly shit.)
Battery life does tend to fall off after 18 months or so. I'm on my second 945 as I complained to Garmin and got a refurbed replacement at a discount.
Current 945 lasts about 5 days with no active use (but it does 24/7 pulse and SpO2), otherwise I just get into the habit of putting it on to charge once a day when I've got an hour long meeting. If I use it for an activity then I'm generally back home at my desk where I can take it off to charge it and copy off the data at the same time.
Think I'll go 265S in a couple of months.
