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?
I ordered a 5X on 1/8. I called CT this morning, and they indicated they haven't yet received any 5X SKUs. They did offer that they have received other non-5X Fenixes that they have shipped out. They weren't able to confirm a specific date for 5X availability, and I'm very anxious to receive my 5X, especially after hearing about the DC marathon booth sales this past weekend.
I pre-ordered from CT a black/black 5 and a silver/white 5S on 1/4, a couple of hours before they had even sent out their "pre-order the Fenix 5!" email blast.
Oh well.. They'll get here. It's fun to start seeing people get hold of a few. Hopefully the early reviews are good.
Thanks, ordered. Just waiting to see what happens at it appears their website has gone, technically speaking, crazy. Most links just lead you to some HTML code now.
I also want to order the F5 black sapphire from Up and running, but It is not clear if its black or grey? They still haven't answered me if it is still in stock, though. Maybe its over.
