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!
  • Was that for the 5X with the rubber band? I ordered Sunday from REI and it still has 30 days delay on the order and no tracking.


    I ordered from REI Thursday (5X, Rubber) while it was listed it as backordered. A couple hours later I had a shipping notice and it's arriving this week...

    Thanks for that ... I'll remain hopeful for an e-mail later in the week.
  • No 20% REI discount

    I was at an REI store this weekend, and they're doing the annual 20% off one item for members, but it excludes items with GPS capability. Darn!

    Just noticed that bestbuy have fénix 5x finally and shipping it. I just ordered mine 2 hrs ago and says just shipped with a 2-day delivery. I am excited.
  • They had 5S (non-sapphire), 5 (non-sapphire), and 5X at the Race Mania expo in Boston today. I thought about picking up the 5X and cancelling my CT pre-order, but I figured I could wait another week or two (hopefully not too much longer!) for CT to come through with my pre-order. Admission after 2 is free so any of y'all in the Boston area could head over and see if they still have some left.

    They did let me try on both the 5 and the 5X there and I was surprised that the 5X actually didn't feel heavy. Also, I have small to medium sized wrists, and both the 5 and 5X looked equally large on me, but both looked good.

    5x metal band

    Has anyone seen a metal band in person or gotten word of when those will ship? Were they at any of the running/race expos for purchase?

    Metal Band

    Thanks they actually have metal band in stock on line and I was able to cancel my REI order and get it from them!

    When did you place your order with them? Also, am I misremembering that you had posted last week about how you had tried to cancel your order with CT? The cancellation didn't go through?

    I am guessing that you havent been checking your credit card account as well? Since surely the charge would have been present.

    I preordered mine F5x from CT on 1/9. No shipping email, no credit card charge.
