This seems like an "unofficial" LD75 picture:

Interesting!It seems that Surefire also released a watch,are them similar?Wonder if Fenix decides to release this worldwide anyway. http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?394891-Fenix-digital-watch
I found the 2015 catalog:

And more....
I like the PD40 and LD75...
Looking forward to the new LD41 2015 edition! 960 Lumens.
That's nearly double the 520 Lumens of my existing LD41.
I'm glad I held off buying the 680 Lumen version (I guess you'd call that the 2014 version)
Anyone know what LED it uses and when it'll be out?
They changed the body. I'm wondering if it still uses a battery holder, although I don't mind it that much.
But more importantly, is it still one of the few Fenixes that can tailstand (if a bit wobbly and off-center)?
It looks just like the 680 (2014) version, doesn't it? I can't see a difference.
I don't have a 680 version, but I think it still tail-stood, didn't it?
why wud they make their new brightest light with buttons like that? how incredibly stupid! no one want to fumble around with an array of button trying to figure out which does what. its DARK out wen u use a light which is why u need a light. I can't look down and see which button is doing what?
why can't they just make the button like Olight does and make one big button that does it all so u don't have to guess which is which. how stupid!
I don't need a rear clicky to turn the light on fast. I need a button that I don't have to fumble with. there are three buttons all located within a mm or two from each other.Ow, I think they could but in that case you've to remember how to operate the button to turn on/off or switch modes. Multiple buttons makes a UI layout easier IMO. You've a button for On/Off and a button to switch modes. How much simpler can it get?
Of course in certain situations you need light fast, but I don't think they had that in mind, when designing this light.
Want light fast? You need a rear-clickly!
I don't need a rear clicky to turn the light on fast. I need a button that I don't have to fumble with. there are three buttons all located within a mm or two from each other. under stress wen grabbing this light ur finger is essentially gonna be on all three buttons and you have to make sure u hit the right one. its a poor design period. there is a reason most every other light manufacture doesn't do it this way.
Olight doesn't do it that way and neither does Eagletac, Thrunite, Surfire, Nitcore or Jetbeam. see a pattern here.....

I'm also a fan of the two button interface. If I needed a tactical light I'd want a single mode light with one button so there's nothing to think about.
