Fenix 5 Purchase

lucky1976 over 8 years ago

I just purchased the Fenix 5.

Out of the box what is the best way to setup watch for best performance?

I read somewhere that it is best to set watch outside for 30 mins while connecting to GPS.

Anything else to get the most accurate data?

Cheers

Read through the manual first. Read the many posts in the F5 threads. Work out what works best for you.

For "best performance" is a somewhat subjective concept. For example I mainly use my watch for gym workouts, trail running races and occasional road runs and I like to make use of the activity tracking stats quite a lot.
They way I have my watch set up is probably quite different to how someone who bought it for cycling uses it versus someone who is primarily a runner.

That's the beauty of the Fenix series - it's the best multi-sport watch you can buy (as it should be for the price) but it does mean you'll need to play around a fair bit to work out what is important to you and how you want to use it.

For best performance put it back in the box, return to retailer and order a 935 :o
