Garmin 5 questions

Former Member over 8 years ago

Hi guys,
I was thinking of getting a Fenix 3 HR but now when fenix 5 have arrived I have two questions:

1) is it possible to get the digital watch face on the fenix 5 that came with the fenix 3? (https://static.garmincdn.com/en/products/010-01338-71/v/cf-lg.jpg) Possible to grab that one via COnnect IQ?

2) If I want a fenix 5 sapphire (not S or X) it seems that I can only choose the Slate Gray Sapphire edition with the metal band and not the regular black silicon band... I want the slate gray sapphire with the black band...

My "Big Digital" watch face is modelled after the default Fenix 3 digital watch face and will work on the Fenix 5.

1) The Fenix 5 comes with that face built in, it is slightly different in that the move/steps bars are at the top and bottom instead of the sides though

2) Check either Garmins website or DC Rainmakers review as the sapphire models come with an extra silicone band, maybe the metal band sapphire comes with a black silicone band.

I got my Fenix 5 Sapphire from https://www.outdoorexperten.se/ yesterday and it has black silicon band and a yellow band.

I want the slate gray sapphire with the black band...

+1 That would be the best combination. Seems odd that if you want a slate gray sapphire you are forced to pay $150 extra for a metal band that I would have zero interest in having.

Awesome, does it also come with the seconds counter on the edges? And can one add steps, calories, battery etc on that one?
