Here are the results from my early ‘tests’ of GPS/oHR and elevation accuracy. I’ll endeavour to keep this post updated with new results for a month or so, so pop back for updates. Return to the main Garmin Fenix 6 Review FYI: When I got the watch, it immediately updated firmware to the production firmware…
Sources say that the new Fenix 6 range will be formally announced ‘at the end of the month’ (Thu August 29). Once again Amazon and some other retailers will probably request your pre-orders knowing they won’t get stock for a month (see the debacle over the 945 launch in some countries…not Garmin’s fault, blame the…
The next generation of Garmin Fenix is in production Edit: Fenix 6 will be announced in August 2019 or September 2019 at latest. Edit: Listing removed from Amazon 9th August 2019 The models all sound plausible and are variants on Fēnix® 6, Vívoactive 4, Vivomove 3, MARQ Commander & Instinct Tactical Garmin Fēnix® 6 series:…
Garmin Forerunner 945 – What’s Missing? Garmin has just released their Forerunner 945 tri watch and the probably-internally-identical MARQ ATHLETE should be able to be bought around about now too. The feature-improvements over the 935 are many and varied but most fall under the ‘additional smarts’ and ‘peripheral niceties’ categories…which is not to knock them.…
Here are the new and detailed Garmin Instinct Specifications and a Garmin Fenix 5 vs. Garmin Instinct Comparison. A separate Garmin Instinct review is now live and these specs & comparison form a part of that. Q: What Is the Garmin Instinct? The Garmin Instinct was announced on 11 October and is targeting the outdoors…
This Garmin Instinct Review looks in detail at Garmin VALUE outdoors watch. It’s feature-packed and a serious alternative to the Garmin Fenix
I’ve done some more digging after Monday’s post on the Forerunner 245 and 245 Music. The 2x 245 product releases are a near certainty, just take that as being correct and move on. However there is evidence that I have seen which shows that the Garmin Forerunner 945 is to be released very soon ie…
I would still say that the Best Triathlon Watch for serious triathletes remains the Garmin Forerunner 935. It has the tools for the job and comes in a broadly good, lightweight format at a sensible price. But now the Forerunner 935 has a young gun snapping at its heels for that top accolade. The Garmin…
▷ Biblical in its depth and coverage this Garmin Fenix 5S Review takes a detailed look…
If you prefer to get your devices via Amazon and are in the market for a new Garmin Fenix 5 Plus then, broadly speaking, the larger Amazon geographical sites are now either shipping or should ship at the end of this week. Amazon UK is taking orders for the 5S Plus and 5 Plus and…
The existing Garmin Fenix 5, 5S and 5X have JUST had GALILEO support rolled out in beta. It doesn’t yet appear to be available for the Forerunner 935 but will surely follow in due course. To be clear: This is NOT the Garmin Fenix Plus (review ed here) series. It’s the regular 5 Series This…
My somewhat biblical in scope Garmin Fenix 5 Plus Review is now live and you will have already noticed that the Fenix 5 Plus series has hit the shelves. Like me, you are probably WOWED by the marketing and WOWED by the new features. But, like me, you are probably also WOWED by the price…
The Garmin Fenix 5 plus series is announced today and available to pre-order and shipping will start in late June/early July 2018. This is MUCH more than the hardware fix I expected a few months ago and incorporates new hardware competencies, new firmware and new aesthetic details. Garmin Fenix 5 plus – Common Features The…
The Fenix 5 ‘plus’ series have been known about in the trade for some time now, since late 2017. There are now many and varied sources of leaks so I will summarise the info here and add some thoughts. Why the plus series? The cynic would say that it was either for Garmin to make…
OK let’s go. more to follow later today. Big changes but not that interesting from a sports perspective Don’t panic…Train as usual. 3x plus versions. music, pay, routable colour topo maps, 5S might have larger screen size Not mentioned of course…no connectivity issues 😉 These are not my images, they click through to the source…
Garmin have just released their Fenix 5 Plus models just over a year after the release of the original Fenix 5, 5X and 5S. We see the Fenix 5S Plus, the Fenix 5 Plus and the Fenix 5X Plus as well. The initial specs of the Fenix 5 Plus, however, include much of what I…
IronCloud T1 : Garmin Fenix 5 Wannabee
I was looking at the new beta firmware for the Fenix 5 and noticed two very highly viewed threads on the garmin.com forum. Those are some serious levels of interest: >50,000 views of ANT+ connectivity issues and >107,000 people further interested in GPS accuracy. Edit: Doesn’t quite match the F3HR altimetry (yet) I would hope…
Garmin have requested the approval of a change made to at least some of the Fenix 5 range with this request to the FCC for a ‘permissive’ change (Source: https://t.co/XAS419ZPNj via R Black) A Class II Permissive Change is requested for this product because the 2.4 GHz antenna was redesigned to provide higher EIRP for…
Garmin Fenix 5 Review – The Honest Approach Most reviews of the Garmin Fenix 5 start out with a quote along the lines of, …it’s fair to say that the Fenix 5 is the best watch Garmin has ever made… I’d prefer to say it’s their most feature-full watch ever made. Which is not quite…
