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 some detail at Garmin’s latest outdoors and hiking watch. As we shall see, it is a sweet combination of practical outdoors features, a good price and a sensibly rugged exterior. This review is fairly long. Skip ahead to the section that most interests you or pour yourself a big…
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…
These prices are the best you are likely to see for the next 6 months on the Garmin Fenix 5 – including Fenix 5S and Fenix 5X. They will NOT be cheaper on Black Friday/Cyber Monday. They will be the same price until 24December2017. HOWEVER there are limited stocks. First come. First served. Other Amazon…
We originally took a sneaky look at, probably unintended, gender bias in this article about the wider reporting of the suitability of the Fenix 5S to ‘various demographics’. Have a read if you don’t remember it; it probably would be classed as ‘vaguely humorous‘ by a small percentage of the population PARODY: Garmin Fenix 5…
I’m the first to moan when a sports watch vendor introduces a new data metric and suddenly the watch becomes “Version 3” rather than a miniscule/incremental improvement on “version 2”. I suppose “Version 3” sounds better than “Version 2.01” for the marketeers. Back to the Fenix 5; here (link to: the5krunner.com) we guess there will…
This follows on from my highly successful series of ‘First Run With…’. We had: first run with the Polar V800 and STRYD; first run with the 935 and STRYD; first run with will.i.am and STRYD; and now it’s the turn of the Fenix 5s. With STRYD. This little ‘first’ run of 10-and-a-bit miles has the potential…
