Has anyone heard a more definitive availability date beyond mid to late September?

    I was told at least November by a Garmin dealer today here in Canada. I guess I will be waiting. But that is not a bad thing .. the early adopters can tell us all about it.

    Edit .. Best Buy is getting them first in the US apparently. It is an exclusive deal. Why Clever Training is having you wait.
  • In germany it is announced in the 4th quarter. Could be anything between October & December.
    Pre order is only available at saturn (big electronic market), "soon".

    Pricing is a bit heavy... Mostly, the prices were made quite simple: 299$ (US) are converted in to 299? (EUR), which means ~52? more profit for garmin, due to the currency factor.
    Okay, it is working well in germany, right now. So we are paying more then others... Alright!
    But it is announced for 329? for the stainless and 359? for the slate model :(
    One-third more, which I can invest into a shipment from somewhere else, in the world ;)
  • It seems that in the US, BestBuy has an exclusive on the va3 for the first couple weeks. DCR mentioned something about this.

    See the first 2 comments in his review.

    Amazon have it listed as being available from the 5th October in the UK and US and pre order now. link below and if you are quick the UK pricing is only ?259 instead of 289. I was at a Garmin Live event in London and got hands on with the device and spoke to a few reps and its going to be more like mid October before it ships

    Hope this helps


    I noticed that. I wonder why they haven't knocked ?20 off the black one as well.

    I suspect it won't be up for long at that price
  • Al least, until the Christmas-business done.

    Until now, prices only drop when a replacement or a competitor device is advertised.

    I just received notification that my watch has shipped today, from Fresno, CA...I bought it from Best Buy, online, on Sept 1.
  • My pre-roder from Best Buy has shipped today. Will receive on Monday.
  • I checked the best buy website, and all the stores in my area show they are available today (looks to be limited numbers though)
