Fenix 6 / Refresh!?

Former Member over 7 years ago

Hey all!

So I had a FitBit Ionic for a few months and it shot the bed. Ended up getting my money back and want to get a Garmin Fenix 5; however, I keep seeing random tidbits of information about a possible refresh coming soon. I'm not sure I can validate any of this information since it seems to be speculation but I would hate to be wrong. It would be much nice for me to get a refreshed or new Fenix if I can rather than being impatient and getting a Fenix 5 now. Speculation is driven by the Fenix sale and other factors. I guess they technically don't have to follow their prior release pattern of the Fenix line. If anyone has any information to share then please do!

Thanks!

Well, not sure if you're still in doubt - but if you are:
Get the 5 at a reduced rate or get the new 5 Plus range which is a refresh. I would get the refresh in your shoes.

Carefully analyze the difference between the f5 and f5 plus.
To me, the f5 plus has features that are negative rather than positive.

I agree! Having the battery life go down is a show stopper for me. The main reasons I bought the F5 was battery life and all that it can do. It's nice knowing I can be at 50% and still go on an epic MB ride.

Great point, I've played three rounds of golf since last charge, wear the watch 24/7 and still have 49% left, brilliant battery life!
