I had a dream about Fenix 5X

Former Member over 8 years ago

I had a dream about Fenix 5X. I saw the different titles of threads and glimpses of posts. They were:

1. Bezel scratches - I cannot believe the scuffs, dings and scratches on this new toy. What a magnet!
2. Defective strap detached - F5X somewhere in the mountains. And I can't return it to REI for obvious reasons!
3. Maps did not load after update - I now have a upsized F5S.
4. Crazy altimeter reading makes F5X think I'm on a giant rollercoaster.
5. Disappointed in GPS - takes forever to lock, inaccurate.
6. Weather widget - Waiting for data, huh?
7. What was updated this morning - anyone knows?
8. HR - Resting HR way too high, also can I determine sampling rate?
9. Active calories way too high - I didn't run the marathon
10. Steps counted while driving
11. Sleep - I was charging, not sleeping.
12. Smart alarm feature request
13. Why no music storage with 12GB, would have been nice to pair with Bluetooth headphones
14. Battery did not last long. Where's that brochure again?
15. No notification from my phone ....
16. Should I upgrade to F6, F6s, F6X, F6s+, F6X+, F6+, F6÷, or the flagship F6$

Then I woke up, no, not to the smart alarm on my F3HR

The Fenix 5X seems to be ticking all boxes and I am considering preordering it. I can't seem to find any UK retailer that sells the 5X with the metal band option- Cotswold Outdoor said that they can order it from Garmin directly but it may take even longer to get to me in the end.

They aren't stocking the 5 with metal band either according to their reply to my email;

Thank you for taking the time to contact Cotswold Outdoor!

From the information that we have been provided, we do not have plans to have this available at launch, however we have been told that we may bring in other model after launch, but have not been provided with which ones are possibilities. If we do bring this version in at a later date it will be update on our website once we know.

You can keep an eye on our website for updates on different models we will be stocking. All model available at launch are expected into our warehouse in mid-March.

I hope this helps, if there is anything else I can assist with please feel free to ask.

Last year, I started this thread before the first Fenix 5X was available to buy and was away from this forum since. I wonder how it went for everybody.
