Yea, same for me. The 955 is as good now as it was when I bought it three years ago. There are no upgrades on the 965 or 970 that are motivating me to upgrade. The HR monitor is no doubt a little better, but I use a chest strap when running.

Okay, I’m getting older, so the display and font sizes could be increased, but the display type (even on my solar model) is readable under all conditions.
And because of the battery life I don’t need to travel around with the proprietary charging cable.
Garmin’s actual changes (Connect+, AMOLED display only) could impact future sales.
