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!

Yep, spotted that one on twitter- must be awesome to be in a position to just say ' I wish I had one of these' and not only have it hand delivered the next day but have tomtom and Garmin fall over themselves to offer free trips to Europe as well! Not seen any Garmin Connect tracks show up yet though!!!

And it looks like as of yesterday he was using it, based on his Strava activity file.

Can't wait to see a FIT file recorded by a Fenix 5 (I'm a hobbyist software developer and am curious if there is more or different data in F5 FIT files). I really hope one of the reviewers is so kind to share an activity file..

Once the software is final, I'm more than happy to share piles of them.

Weak sauce! I have a 5X on pre-order and a hiking trip mid April. Looks like it will arrive while I am away from home. :mad::mad::mad::mad:

I haven't seen any photos of the 5X with a digital watchface, but can't wait to find out if you can get all of this on it (as on Epix and Fenix 2, but not on Fenix 3): time, seconds, day, date, baro trend arrow, moon phase, sunset/sunrise time.

FWIW, Online chat session this afternoon asking if there are any updates on the availability of the 5x...

REI Kim: As far as we know, we'll have the Garmin Fenix 5X available for purchase in April, 2017.
REI Kim: We're not sure if we'll be doing pre-orders though.

I'm out

I almost pre-ordered, but changed my mind. IMHO, this thing is just way too expensive. Even the 5 and 5s. What a price jump.
If the mobile app would have been better (i.e. not force uploading) that might change things, but right now, the combination 5X + unusable GCM is not worth it.
