I think it will be good to have one central place to have the latest news people here about the updated release date. DCR said it looks like early March. The garmin site says 5-8 weeks but thats the default time on all new products. Everywhere I read it says "By end of Q1" which is the end of March. Rei still doesnt have it listed yet either. Has anyone heard anything more specific?
Well... I forgot I had an order in for the Slate Black from HRM.com.. I thought I had cancelled it when I decided on the sapphire version but....... I got shipping notice for it earlier and it;s scheduled for delivery tomorrow!
With this one shipping I went ahead and cancelled my fenix 5 sapphire order from Clever Training... I'll keep my B&H order for the 5 sapphire active and then decide which to keep once they both arrive...
So I have the fenxi 5 Slate Black getting delivered tomorrow and I chatted with B&H earlier and they say my 5 sapphire should ship on the 16th, I have that as overnight as well so maybe by Friday I will have them both.. LOL
DCRainmaker just posted to his Fenix 5 thread on his site that Clever Training received and shipped units today...
"FWIW I confirmed that Clever Training also received units today, and shipped out accordingly. Obviously, not enough to fulfill all backorders, which is as expected."
Ugh, I had a day 2 order of a 5S. I've heard nothing.
No dice... Order through HRM.com cancelled as not in stock.. Bummer! Guess their site glitched out or added stock inadvertently.. Oh well, back on track for the 5 sapphire...
Sucks, I was hoping someone would get one. Looks like somebody even got a shipping # from HRM.com, what's that about? I gave them a call to see where I was on the list and they're closed for today and because of that darn storm might be closed for the next couple of days. Storm supposed to start in my area around 3 am. Plan to go to the gym and get my run in around that time and let Wednesday (shoveling snow) maybe a rest day, got to gotta get it in somehow...

Just emailed Clever Training to get a update on my pre-order 5 Sapphire. Hopefully it is on the list to be shipped this week.
Well Ray Maker's word is gold, he surely spoke to one of his high up contacts at Clever Training and they told him they got and shipped some today. Perhaps the number was horrifyingly small or they haven't sent the shipment notices yet but it is very weird not even one person is here saying that Clever Training sent them a shipping notice, the folks who ordered day 1 a $600-700+ watch and wait months for it tend to be the folks who frequent forums like this. Hopefully we see something soon and to date I haven't seen anywhere claiming a 5S in the wild, it seems all this trickle of watches is the 5 and 5X.
