When buying sports gadgets I suspect that many people are faced with the “choice” ‘what is the most expensive Garmin I can afford?’. Whilst this strategy is generally not a bad one, sometimes it might be good to cast the net a bit wider and be a bit different. Would you have been the person…
The New GARMIN FENIX 3 was announced in January on the GARMIN BLOG (details below) but now in MARCH 2015 the product is pretty much ready-to-go in the UK. Edit: <Here> is the 1 minute Fenix 3 review – if that’s what you wanted Earlier this week in the mountains it was rude not to…
Some of my pictures here. I like the Garmin family one. Unfortunately little baby Vivoactive has not yet been born. Due soon 🙂 The Fenix3 is in follow a route mode. which was pretty good. Jogging along and didn’t get lost. The Epix rather unhelpfully shows it’s at least a great lap timer. (It’s MUCH…
Sometimes we can write stuff about all these gadgets and it’s all very nice and wordy. Sometimes you can just read a nice looking corporate brochure and get the same info. Here’s the Garmin UK Wearables Brochure. It compares the wearable offering of Garmin and gives the key features of each as well as a…
Hopefully you’ve just seen the lifestyle photos. They show how you will be able to bound up very steep mountains and generally look very handsome/beautiful and just, well, be generally cool in a sporty kinda way. Well. The devil is always in the detail. Here are some of the details in the photos. Not sure…
Here are the first FENIX3 lifestyle photos Just to whet the appetite. I had the recent pleasure of using one for a trail run. Great compass and route facilities…didn’t get lost in the mountains and even managed to head back to the start when we suspected a shortcut. More of the features of the FENIX3…
Garmin lovers have been waiting for this for a few weeks now. The Fenix3 is shipping in the UK pretty much NOW. Here’s one I got my hands on today. A Bunch of not too nice images are sitting in my camera but this one is pretty cool I think. I’ll also post up over…
The Garmin EPIX is close to release sometime soon in Q2.2015. I got my hands on one of the only 3 in the UK at the moment. It’s a pre-production unit but a sign that good things are imminent. This looks like a REALLY awesome addition to the Garmin stable. The looks of the 910,…
You have a Garmin 920XT or maybe you’ve seen my review of the Garmin 920XT and want one. You are aware of all the clever stats in the 920XT and yet you ‘only’ have a low- to mid-end turbo trainer/powermeter that won’t send data to your 920XT. You realise that this means that you may…
Predicting firmware updates for the 920T for 2015 is tricky. Probably trickier than predicting what was going to be in the first release of the 920XT itself. I had a shot at that in my 920XT Fantasy Review and did OK. (The real review is at the top of your screen in the menus of…
The Garmin APP Store is now open a and working for apps fro the 920XT, Fenix 3,, Epix and Vivoactive. Whilst all those watches look great I admit to being somewhat underwhelmed by the apps on offer at present. Early days of course. If you want to request app to Garmin then add app requests…
The New GARMIN FENIX 3 was announced today [Jan 2015] on the GARMIN BLOG. Well the FENIX3Â might annoy some recent 920XT purchasers. Many FENIX2 lovers were reluctantly persuaded to go for the 920XT, just to get a top-of-the-range device. Reading below, the FENIX 3 appears to have everything that the 920XT has, presumably also with…
