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?
Anyone seeing new stock arriving in the UK at all? seems pretty quiet on UK arrivals!!
Most of the released models seem to be immediately available now (see Amazon for example), and stock seems to be replenished within a few days. Amazon UK are also showing a release date of 1st April for the models that don't seem to have been released yet, though they were a couple of days early with their original release date.

aha cheers, Amazon didn't have 5s stock last week when I checked....but I also get a Cotswold discount, decisions decisions!!
Not seen the Silver with Granite Blue Band 5 anywhere though!
Typical REI fashion, you pre-order and wait. Then suddenly it pops up available online and you can buy today. You check on your pre-order and they tell you it's three weeks out. Or...I can just buy online right now. I don't understand why they even have pre-order. Strange.
Yeah, agreed. I have a black 5S Sapphire on pre-order with them...
Been a lurker for a while and finally made an account.
Well, finally got fenix 5 from Paragon Sports after everyone had a good experience from them. However, mine came obviously used. The plastic face adhesive was not present and the watch was already set up, not to mention there was some oil residue on the face and HR sensor. The charging cable was missing the plastic and was not neatly folded. Otherwise, the watch still looked good. These seem like trivial things, given it was only released a little over a week ago. Now I'm deciding if it's worth the hassle to pay for return shipping.
That's a bummer. It would be a pain to have to wait for another, but I think the seller should definitely pay for return shipping if that's what you decide to do.

Maybe they take the pre-orders and submit a quantity order to Garmin for that subset. But in the meantime a normal shipment arrives and instead of filling pre-orders they go on sale. While the pre-order batch awaits dispatch from Garmin. Really dumb, but happened same exact way for Fenix 3.
