Has it shipped yet. Has it shipped yet. Has it shipped yet.

Just like an aggravating, but anxious kid.

I was happy with my 405, then the 410, then maybe 605, 610, F2, now F3. F3 works for the most part. Its crashed on me. Its locked up on me. But I still like it. It does much more than I need, but I can live with that. the 5x does even more than I need. But I dont know if I'd like maps or not. But I do like the idea of more memory and faster processor. That spells future proof usually. I might not like mapping. Ok. so I may not use it. I might not like the OHRM, though I hope it works. If not. So be it. I really really hope it wont lock up during my next 50miler, 100k or 100miler. That really blows. It blows that I cant charge it while its on my wrist. But eh... I can hold it while charging, or faster it to my pack. Ultras are hard, holding a while during recharge. Cake. I'm excited. I'm prepping my F3 for resale, hoping to reduce the chunk the F5x is setting me back. But my preorder is in.

Peace!

Just placed my order with REI too...and noticed my annual dividend of $90 came in this morning! So now pickup at store scheduled for March 22nd!

Nice! Pickup at my local store was same day (23rd) as shipped to me and the tax rate where the store resides adds another 5% tax, so even though the store is a block from my office, I sent it to my house.

Initially, I thought the extra wait before it appeared at REI was a bad sign. Pleasantly surprised at the ship/ppickup dates we're getting.

Just scored a 5x, will ship Monday.

Just a heads up, I found the 5x available in the US. Its a small shop in Colorado call Evergreen Mountain Sports. I just placed and order and it will ship out Monday. They said they had 9 left in stock after my order. No tax either.

Thanks for this! I checked out their website and some reviews on yelp. Seems like a pretty cool store - Glad to put my order through them. Amazon was a disappointment. No 5X dates yet and their 5 listing was pushed back another day.

Tuesday can't come enough - No sales taxes means overnight shipping for me.

Mine's coming from REI as well. The dividend helps with the sales tax.... (they have stores in my state, so no avoiding the tax man.)

Type "5X" into the search box at the top. It does not show up in their regular listings, but it's there.

I did ordered on evergreen but i am wondering if the warranty will be international one.

I am in Australia and so frustrated with the lack of clarity on when we will be receiving stock. I ordered from Evergreen, as they seem to be one of the few who will ship to Australia. Realised afterwards it will not have Australian maps (damn!), but because it will end up about $50 cheaper than here, hopefully that will cover some of the map cost. At least I know it is coming now!

I also placed my order through these guys. I sent them an email regarding when they think they would ship out the order. A few minutes later, Paul called me up and told me they ship in the mornings, so it should go out Monday morning. Kudos to Paul for awesome CS.

Just an FYI, I saw TriathlonLab post on Twitter that they had the 5X, just now. I called (they're in California) and they're shipping it out today for Saturday delivery to me in Texas. Not sure how many they have in stock, I didn't ask.
