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?

    REI has a listing now. No pre-orders that I saw; just "Coming Soon."

    Hi everyone! Registered just to say I heard from Highly Tuned Athletes here in Oz and they're getting their first orders next week! Paid up the balance and waiting now.
  • Just chatted with REI , they have a ship date of April 7th. On the 5 and 5x.
  • If you go to fleabay, its there ... BUT be prepare to pay a very high price.
  • REI preorders now officially up! My order shows estimated delivery on 3/27

    I was chatting with Cotswold Outdoor around 1pm UK time and they told me they are expecting to receive their first shipments next week from Garmin, but they don't yet know how many they will be getting, and there is still a risk Garmin might still delay, so all in all its looking very likely they will begin shipping them out to us from next week but they can't guarantee anything still yet until they have them in hand.

    Sounds eminently sensible. I'm sure other vendors like Clever Training will be doing the same (i.e. not publicising a fixed date - even if they know one - in case their initial allocation is small).
  • Sounds good...Hopefully Cotswold will get the 5X in at the same times as the others. I'm well up the waiting list so will post when I get notified!
  • REI told me late April for sapphire 5/5S. I didn't ask about the X
