Jigghead Posted June 16, 2015 Share What was the total cost of bringing in this devise from the states ? price, customs etc ?Just under R7k for the Sapphire. Had it delivered to a mate in Washington DC and he brought it back with him. Otherwise it would have come in much higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridr Posted June 16, 2015 Share I love my 920xt. I wear it all the time.Also have a look at the Garmin Epix (not sure when it will be available).Garmin service is generally very good.I got a great deal from AutoStyle https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/103486-bicycle-lights-new-colors/Give them a call.

JWF Posted June 16, 2015 Share Suunto Ambit3 - heart rate while swimming made it the choice for me. Had 910xt and Ambit2 both were also great just lacked the swimming heart rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2721sim Posted June 18, 2015 Share TomTom Multi-Sport ... Excellent value for money ... I use the speed and cadence sensor on my Road Bike, the GPS on the watch for speed on my MTB ... works for running, swimming and even on the treadmill ... Out the box for about for about R 4k with bike mountings ... and can upload in almost every format to most popular sites ... If you want to take it up a notch, they even provide for one with a built in heart rate monitor on the watch so no strap ... ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxter Posted June 18, 2015 Share I still question if the no strap is an upgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like! This is still a dedicated running watch though. Which means limited water resistance and cycling metrics. BUT, this means that Garmin may go the way of a 925XT... or a Fenix 3.5 or whatever... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrightJnr Posted June 19, 2015 Share I have an Ambit 3. I loved it until yesterday when my riding buddy showed me his Fenix 3. Now it feels like an old wired Cateye speedometer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zariuss Posted June 19, 2015 Share Hope this helps. http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2015/03/garmin-fenix3-detailed-review.html It is Garmin Fenix 3 not a Polar. and Yes it can do 9hrs in GPS Mode easy. I have the Fenix 3 and I find it better than my 810. Maps on it is awesome for Sani and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roskii Posted June 19, 2015 Share Picked up an Ambit 2S from clevertraining.com last year. Loving it, meets all my needs (running, mtb, gym, duathlons, hiking etc). Took around 5-6 days to get here from the US. Duties were around 10%, VAT at the usual 14%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
