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?
  • Well just an update for my B&H holdouts: I was informed via stock email today that they don't expect the shipments from Garmin until LATE April. Usually B&H is spot on with these but they really messed this one up. When all the other watches in the Fenix series changed to "April 25th" I asked twice if that applied to the Fenix 5/5 Sapp that still showed March and they that those were still on track for March. Obviously a huge bummer but not much I can do about it now.

    I'd advice anyone else with a B&H preorder to look elsewhere unless you're really patient.


    I got my 5 today. Order on Sunday from another NYC store call Paragon Sports. Shipping is free n no tax outside NY.

    I cancel B&H.

    Just check 5 Sapphire is gone. They still have the regular 5.

    Yeah, REI plans to have the 5 Sapphire in stock next week, but we have a contract with B&H so we get a big discount (in addition to no tax) so it'd be a waste to spend the extra money just because i'm inpatient. For now i'll just have to live vicariously through you all ;)

    Anyone find the "5s Sapphire Black/Black Band" in stock anywhere yet? Seems to be a unicorn.

    Thanks

    5s from CT UK

    Any news from Clever Training UK and their 5S?
  • Has anyone gotten a 5s with turquoise strap? I preordered from Clever Training on 1/4 and haven't heard anything yet. I'm getting anxious and my patience is wearing thin!!

    I'm 6' with 6.25" wrist and wear an F3 during the day, and for workouts, and a 235 at night for overnight HR.


    I am thinking about doing something similar to this; wearing the F5 during the day, and my Vivosmart HR+ at night. Does Garmin Connect work pretty seamlessly with the changing out of different devices? Any help you could give would be great.

    Since Garmin TrueUp was added last November it works seamlessly. Both devices will reflect each others totals etc. and Garmin Connect will show the sum of all.

  • As long as both devices support the True Up feature then it's pretty seamless.
