UK 5X Shipping dates

Gare cabina

costwold outdoor is a trusted site?

I would say yes large retailer with plenty of physical shops. Also was(is?) the only UK supplier taking orders for the 5x as far as I could tell and you can get 10% off the list price.

They (Cotswold) are to be trusted no problem. I have ordered all my watches from them. The 5x arrived a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks for info.

New Fenix 5X with Firmware 2.5 pre-installed

Hi,

Very pleased to have received my Fenix 5X from Cotswold this morning in particular as I wasn't expecting until mid April.

For me this is an upgrade from the Fenix 3HR that I have enjoyed owning for the last 12 months, but so far very pleased with my upgrade.

The watch arrived with firmware 2.5 already installed - not sure what the changes are from 2.40, but so far so good.

The watch is very fast & response and for me the crisper watch face is a worthy upgrade to the 3HR.

firmware 2.5 already installed

Sure about that? Seems 2.40 is still the current version.

Perhaps you have become a beta tester :)

Hi,

Yes positive, Settings > About, software Version 2.5 (9032377),

GPS 4.20
Display 2.10
Wifi 2.30
CIQ 2.2.3
BLE/ANT/SNS 2.70
WHR 20.03.19

Do I get a discount for being a Beta tester?

Mine arrived today too... With 2.50 firware...

I suspect they are doing a number of internal beta releases to get the best production ready firmware possible. I reckon v2.50 was considered better than 2.40 so someone Oked it for the product line. 2.72 is out now so upgrade to that
