Runbikeswim Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Just sold my Garmin Fenix 2, and anticipating some extra ching to come in I am looking at a new multisport watch.I am a stravaian, so jip has to feed into strava, I also want it to synch with my phone so I don’t need to plug into a pc, live tracking would be nice and it has to have multiple and custom profiles, so if I want a kayak one I can create it. Sofar it seems its up to Garmin 920 xt ? and suunto ambit 3( the ambit being very expensive) I also really want the Fenix 3 but can’t seem to find anyone with stock? Is it even out in SA? Issue I have with the Garmin 920 xt is that it has just those two horrendous colours... black/blue and white/red. What would you recommend

TheJ Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Loving my 910XT. As people "upgrade" now they can be found for cheap. And it does 99% of what the 920XT does.
ScottCM Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I Recommend Fenix 2 why did you sell yours?The Fenix 3 is only coming out at the end of the year in RSA.
Gideondv Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Fenix 3 > ambit 3. Fenix 3 will be available in SA mid April. Can link it with your phone to receive notification (Sms, calls ect ). I am waiting till then. It would probably be in the price range of the Ambit 3. Go to Dcrainmaker.com and read the full review on the fenix 3
StevieL Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Liking the look of the 920XT...Even in those "in your face" colours.Just a bit out of my budget at the moment...

Runbikeswim Posted March 17, 2015 Author Posted March 17, 2015 I Recommend Fenix 2 why did you sell yours?The Fenix 3 is only coming out at the end of the year in RSA.Loved it but the lack of live tracking and lack of having Bluetooth and ant on at same time was a issue for me...
_David_ Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Too expenses very the 920 is 6k and ambit 8.5 You can get the Ambit 3 Sport for 6.5K, the Sapphire is about 8K http://www.pricecheck.co.za/search?search=Suunto+Ambit+3+Peak+HR
hayleyearth Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Too expenses very the 920 is 6k and ambit 8.5 8.5? They are ripping you off!http://www.buycycle.co.za/en/brands/suunto-en.html And the suunto can connect with Iphone a.t.m., android in the near future.
NIK-NAK Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I just got the 920XT a couple of weeks ago and could not be more impressed with it. Does everything I could want and more. - The best watch for multisport in my opinion

Does everything I could want and more. - The best watch for multisport in my opinion From your use what limitations have you found? I read that if you load a course you can't zoom in on it, what is the default magnification it goes to, 500m? If you are doing / Following a course, can you access your own display pages such as what you normally use during a ride eg: Speed, Distance, Hr & Cadence which you set up in Page 1?
Runbikeswim Posted March 19, 2015 Author Posted March 19, 2015 Got the 920 and love it ( functionality) hate the color though, got the black and blue
hayleyearth Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 I am only here to anounce that the Movescount app has been launched for Andriod...I just downloaded mine from tha playstore..
