  1. I am looking at buying a wearable GPS unit for MTB as well as other sport (Kayak) I am a bit concerned about the battery life while using the GPS, since reports suggest that the Ultra Track function gives useless tracking accuracy. I like the Fenix 5X Plus functions, but the charging port sits in a position which makes "charge on the fly" somewhere between extremely cumbersome and impossible, while the Fenix 3HR has a charging port which will allow connection of a power bank while using the unit. I am not going on extremely long rides all the time, but I do want to do the Trans Elands and Trans Baviaans next year requiring 9 to 12 hours and 18 to 24 hours respectively. These events, and the training towards them, will make battery life a concern. Has anyone been able to charge a Fenix 5 series "on the fly"? Is the 5X Plus worth the extra money and hassle to charge when compared to the Fenix 3HR? I need to link to Strava Navigate routes generated on the computer, on tracks and trails that are not always designated as roads on typical navigation systems. Have the ability to charge during long activities or have a battery that will last more than 24 hours during GPS use, with acceptable accuracy. Any thoughts on this or advice would be appreciated.
  2. A colleague approached me earlier today saying he wants to sell his Fenix 3 after upgrading to a 5x so I said I'll ask around. He reckons he wants R6500, but I see on Takealot they're R6989. Watch still appears to be in good condition, but, what is a fair price for something that would have no warranty as it is over the 12 months?

  4. I am in need of a new heart rate monitor for cycling and running and am contemplating the Garmin Fenix 3. There are however many unhappy complaints about the unit freezing, losing Ant+ / Bluetooth accessory connections and inaccurate GPS measured distances to just name a few. I understand the firmware updates will address some problems, but how much has the problems been eliminated thus far? The last thing I want is a unit that irritates me because I spent a fortune, but the experience is not so smooth. And if features doesn't work or gives trouble mid ride/run - NOT EVEN AN OPTION. Then I spend less on a unit that only do basics - well. I would appreciate if those of you that have spend some time with the Fenix 3 could shed some light on their experiences and how firmware versions has helped or not helped.

  6. We were lucky enough to receive the much hyped Garmin fenix 3 for review recently. The fenix 3 is Garmins’s do-all sports watch touted as an “Uncompromising Multisport Training GPS Watch”. It includes the Altimeter, Barometer and Compass functions one would expect in such a device along with GPS / GLONASS and GPS navigation, WiFi, Bluetooth, ANT+ and the list goes on.
