Thats right, and 36 cents!
New all-time low.
I have a birthday this year, someone please buy me one.
Note: Says it won't ship for 1 to 2 months, so factor that in. Which actually makes it closer to my birthday!
CamelCamelCamel.
Usually dispatched between 1-2 months
That's what it says now.
Quite a good watch but for the screwy HR monitoring during activities. Great with a HR band and for all other metrics and health things.

I think all wrist-based HR is a bit screwy really. I have a feeling that its one of those things that some people have wrists that 'just don't work' with the wrist-based optical HR sensors, & others will be lucky and always get good results.
Yes but the current Garmin range is particularly screwing in a particular way. It locks on (not a cadence lock) to a HR about 20bpm below what is real for 3-5minutes at the start of a run - then at some point works it out and jumps up instantly to a realistic value.
I accept there is a lag and wrist based HR isn’t perfect but this isn’t my first watch with it - but is definitely the worst.
Advice from Garmin has been to “warm up” before a run so it has time to work it out. So stupid. And adjust strap tightness.
Anyways, it’s a good watch when it’s giving real hr readings and I really like all the metrics and health tracking including sleep and HRV. It knew I had the flu before I did.
I just wear a HR strap.
I shared this last night thinking I would wake up and buy it. Now I'm awake but have 17 tabs about HR monitoring open, my HR has definitely increased.
955 Solar has been the same price, makes this seem somewhat redundant, although they aren't the same.
opens about 12 tabs…
It annoys me that Garmins spec pages don't have specifics, just ticks. Makes it hard to work out if models have the same HR sensor or newer tech etc.
Currently 955 Solar is $599 at Rebel (and in stock, 2.3km away)
If you have an amex then the iconic have the 955 Solar for 599 too, then use https://myamexshop.com.au/the-iconic/ to get 22% cashback
Which one is better? 955, 965 or 265?
You're a legend, thank you

The $599 deal is gone
I went the 955 Solar, very happy with it (as an upgrade from the 245 Music).
Bought on the 24th when the price dropped. Has not been shipped yet.
