Been a bit silly... however...

Hi Garminites

So today I got a great deal on a brand new 5X on eBay. I already have a Fenix 3 HR and thought that the 5X gave you internal music playback however.... After a bit more reading realised I had been a berk and its the 5 Plus that has this functionality. 

I bought this one for £320 and I have potentially sold my 3HR for £100. Now.... 

Even without the desired functionality is this still worth keeping as a £220 brand new upgrade?  

Or shall I sell it on? 

Again I admit fault completely. 

Looking ideally to hear from 3HR owners who upgraded to the 5 series / X. 

  • Do you like using the mapping features?....

    Uploading or contributing to OSM.....or you could have Satalite imagery installed.....contour and trail transparent overlays etc... I guess that would be the main feature ... and you can control the music in your phone from your watch. 

    It has lots more memory than the Fenix 3....faster speeds in the IQ environment etc.   

    I think you had a great deal.. Thumbsup
