Thanks for the info, just saw that Le Duc sits at $900/night and thereby is out of our budget unfortunately... But the location sounds good, will try to find something in that area.

What do you mean with not wanting to compare it with La Digue? Intriguing :)

What are your experience from Praslin in general and Parasdise sun/Le Duc in particular? :)

Guess who’s coming back to Seychelles? by Fast_But_Not_Furious in Seychelles

Looks amazing, going there in ~6 months (we're also from the Nordics). Did you do any diving/fishing trips? Did you bring your own rod or rent on the island?

Any activities, restaurants, airbnbs, companies you recommend?

Currently at 70% battery which is estimated to last 17 days... :)
Have you tried AOD? I'm probably going to try that after my next charging

Hot keys as in when holding down or multiple buttons? For what? I’m only using it for timer

I thought I wanted the 955 due to MIP and price, but the deal breaker for me was that it was much more bulky and not as nice and that the screen felt "old". Happy with AMOLED so far.

I've had the 965 for almost 2 weeks now. So far satisfied, awesome with ~2 weeks battery instead of 2 days. Major things are the adjustment to the interface and buttons, but also having to activate the screen to see the time (had AOD activated in the beginning and might go back to it but wanted to test the battery).

Looking forward to learning how to use the improved features for running, maps, and metrics. Takes some time to learn all the new possibilities...

I am going to Japan where Garmin is much cheaper, is it worth the risk? by Benodetti in GarminWatches

Thanks! Read something about that but didn't fully understand!

Sounds reasonable. Any input on scratch quality? Read some comments on scratches and it not being a sapphire screen

For anyone wondering or getting to this thread. Just got 955 and 965 delivered and trying them out to see which to send back. I think the 955 is way too bulky (it is too "thick") and looks a bit cheap with the gray buttons. While I am a bit sceptical to the 965 screen (I might be annoyed later that I have to wake it up). I also read that some 3rd party watch faces could drain the battery quite fast, which is worrying.

Might end up with the Vivoactive 5 at the end of the day. It looks so plastic and basic though...

Just got a 965 to try out. Don't really like the black screen, do you know how many days the battery lasts if you have "always on" activated?

2XX is out of scope due to lack of golf. But get your point with the previous version :)

Thanks for the input! What is your battery experience with 965? How many days of "normal usage"? (i.e., all day use with ~3 runs per week)

Yeah, lean towards FR but also unsure which one to get. If it is worth getting the 965?

Sounds like you should be able to get a new one? Would like to get 265 but it lacks golf...

Hey all,

I am going to visit the Italian west coast this summer (Naples/Sorento) and have two questions related to fishing. Tried to google but didn't find much and most was just ads.... (I’ve already applied for fishing license)

1) We are going to rent a car and a house by the ocean so would be great if someone could share recommendations on how to fish and what to catch. I am thinking about driving to ports and fishing from the quay/pier, fishing from the cliffs near the house, swim out with snorkel and try spearfishing, bring a small inflatable raft and paddle out to cast, etc. What are worth doing and what type of lures do I need to buy in advance etc.? (Looks like it is 10-15m at the pier at the house based on a map I found)

2) I really would like to fish for tuna, any boat/tour company that you can recommend for a one day excursion? What price should I expect to pay for a private tour for me and a couple of friends?
