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!

    Availability Update

    B&H on their web site now says that the Fenix 5X expected availability is April 25th. Before today it only said mid April.

    Well that stinks. I'm wondering if all the larger retailers are looking at a similar date. I preordered with Amazon which still has yet to list a date.

    Amazon listing of Fenix 5 now states March 19th. Hopefully 5X will soon be updated.

    It's not sold by Amazon though, just fulfilled by Amazon (and sold by The Watch Co.); I don't think that coincides with the general Amazon availability.

    In the USA Amazon still has no availability date for any model yet.

    Amazon FBA has a 3 day SLA from delivery receipt to being ready to ship to customers, it can be longer depending on how busy they are and how well the products are labeled. With small local stores the inventory just rocks up but the larger retailers like Amazon would have a more involved process.

    I'd guess that products sold by Amazon itself (not FBA) have the same turnaround.

    I ordered a 5x on 2/2 and haven't heard anything, might start calling local sports stores.
  • Got mine!

    Got mine today from a little outdoor shop in Germany (Wiesbaden) :cool:

    So far, so good... the charging cable is ridiculously short, but thats my only gripe until now. The size is more or less the same than the F3 and it feels similar on the wrist.

    Going to take it for a MTB ride tonight.

    Have not heard of 5X or a 5S being out in the wild anywhere in the world yet.
