    Ok. So now I just went back to check and that is not the case. I think I was thinking of the Garmin vs Suunato. Now I want the Fenix purely for aesthetic purposes. But that's not happening.

    *shakes fist at Gene*

    That's pretty much where I'm at too. The 920 is more than enough function for me, but the Fenix is cooler, better looking, and more techy/gadgetish. But if I'm going to spend $600, I'd rather spend it on a power meter. I'll be calling my local running shop today to have them order a 920.

    But the 3 is $499 not $600.

    Yeah, I want a power meter too.

    I was looking at the sapphire glass. If I went with the Fenix it would be to wear more regularly than just for training, in which case I'd want the sapphire. I've got a bunch of watches, and the good ones definitely hold up better to regular wear and tear. IMO, it does make a difference.

    Regardless, I've thought about this way more than I probably needed to already. The 920 is on it's way, hopefully arriving today, but more than likely tomorrow.

    apples to pears!

    I got the regular one and bought a few scratch resistant protectors - can't even see it. It's held up so far. Otherwise, yeah, I'd get the sapphire, too.

    Enjoy the 920!!

    Similar to cell phone screen protectors? Didn't know they made such a thing, but I guess it doesn't surprise me.

    slightly thicker (?) since these aren't touch screen. Totally invisible: http://www.amazon.com/Shield-LiQuidSkin-6-Pack-Replacements-Self-Healing/dp/B00SXHFVA6

    Think of them for the 920xt
