Garmin Fenix 5 – Poor Connectivity and GPS Accuracy
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…
Fenix 5 – Confirmed **Antennae Modification** by Garmin. Is this the 5+? (A: no!)
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 – Honesty Didn’t Pay
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…

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…
Fenix 5 PLUS v2 (Q2.2018) – Maybe 935 PLUS v2 too?
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…
| Garmin Fenix 5s | First Run With STRYD | Drop Outs? or PowerTastic?
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…
Fenix 5 & 5s RECALL ? – Would you do that if you were Garmin right now?
I was a little shocked to read this post on the Fenix 5/5S forum from STRYD who say they cannot at present recommend the Fenix 5/5S (The 5X seems to work fine for me and other reports suggest the 935 is fine too) STRYD SAY:Stryd is compatible with the Fenix 5 watch. However, as you…

Teaser – Garmin Fenix 5X | 5 | 5S | Forerunner 935 | Review Summary
Polar and others do a good job of teasing their new products so I thought, “Hey, I’m going to tease my review”. Here’s the draft summary of what I will hopefully publish towards the end of this week. I’ve approached the review in a different way to normal. Like with the SPARTAN SPORT review, I’ve…
| Garmin Vs Suunto | Dodgy Data | GPS + oHR | What would you do?
OK here is a test from yesterday on my MTB on a trail. I was specifically looking at how optical HR handled a bumpy but flat hardened, mud/grass trail. The vibrations can cause problems for optical HR in general, so that is what I was looking at ie a demanding scenario. The Edge 820 is…

Garmin Forerunner 935 – Preview – Master Stroke or Minor Tweak
Garmin’s Forerunner 935 has just been announced and the details of what we mostly knew have largely been confirmed. Is it what the 920XT should always have morphed into? or something less impressive? ESSENTIAL READING: 935 Features and 935 Comparisons to F5/920XT. MASTER STROKE My biggest complaint with new Garmin products is that they tend not…
Garmin Fenix 5x – box photos of latest 5x arrivals and other interesting tidbits
This week’s delivery of Fenix 5x devices for PowerMeterCity is shown on the right. There is little chance of finding them in stock in most places as ones that have not been pre-ordered are being snapped up, almost literally, en-route from box to shelf. So if you want one rather urgently then you have to do…

Garmin Fenix 3 vs Suunto SPARTAN ULTRA – GPS Test – GPS Face-off
Great news today as my Fenix 3 returns home after a long enforced absence – a ‘friend’ ‘borrowed’ it and ‘forgot’ it was on his wrist! Unfortunately, as you can see from the above image, my 920XT has now ‘gone walkabout’…sigh. 🙂 It was a great time to put the Fenix 3 to my GPS-test-of-doom…
