Release date thread

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?
  • If it were me, I would just wait it out. I have no faith in any of the retailers estimated shipping dates, including Amazon.

    Re: Sapphire vs Regular.. it all comes down to if you need wifi, sapphire glass, or you like the colors better.
  • In my fenix 3 I have tempered glass protector and zero problems and more economic.

    Today I canceled my order in clevertraining because they changed the date from March to April, for the same date, I prefer to buy on Amazon.

    I really wouldn't go cancelling any pre-orders until an alternative supplier was providing a guaranteed shipping date. Who's to say Amazon's date isn't going to slip too?

    You could leave both pre-orders in place and cancel/return the slower to deliver. If you are in the EU the distance selling regulations allow you to return within 14 days for a full refund without having to give a reason.
  • Couldn't agree more. This literally happens all the time with every release. I've been burned by it before.

    I'm sticking with my Clever Training pre-order. Even if Amazon gets some in stock earlier, I don't want to be at the end of the line.
  • I was just on an online chat with Cotswold Outdoor, they told me that they don't know yet when they're getting them in. I asked if they think they would be finding out soon and let them know that Amazon are shipping theirs next week and the guy cut me off.

    I may cancel my Sapphire preorder after that and order a standard from Amazon - do you think I'll regret going with a non-sapphire?

    It's hard to wait


    For $100 more, you get sapphire screen + a extra wrist band (everyone said yellow).

    final firmwares posted for 5, 5/S (possibly). IT'S HAPPENING!
  • CleverTraining US sent their weekly update.

    tl;dr - Same as the last update. They're still on target for the end of the month.
  • Keep cancel your cotswold pre orders! Just means I will get mine faster. Some people have to work with their patience. I mean fenix 6 will be available in one year do you feel as stressed about that? Keep calm
