Christie Posted December 2, 2019 Share Equipment question:Ive decided to expand to a 3 shoe arsenal, after a few years of Nike Pegasus. I just bought some racing flats for short, fast runs. (Not that common, I had to search a while to get my size) For longer training I think the Pegasus is still good as they fit me perfectly, but I will consider a softer ride from other brands. I need some marathon race day shoes, someting light and stil responsive. I was thinking about Pegasus Turbo 2, but these seem a bit rare and costly too. Zoom Fly 3 are cheaper, but not as responsive without the ZoomX foam. Suggestions are welcome???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 2 option here....the friend was not being a friend when he sold it to us as in great condition...or...the battery is seriously useless!!! Hence my question..which is it...??

Hence my question..which is it...??my wife has a 5s. She runs three times a week with gps and goes to the gym 5 times a week and uses the cardio function. She gets about 7-9 days on a full charge.

shaper Posted December 3, 2019 Share My fenix 5 use to last about 5 days being used twice a day in workout mode, whether swimming, running or cycling as well as a daily wearer recording all the other metrics. I get similar with now with my 945. Think you have a battery issue and not too nice friend !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretch Posted December 3, 2019 Share The good news is that you can replace the battery... But that's gonna cost you a grand at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaws677 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Thanks guys...I also couldnt believe it was the watch! Oh well...now to see what the "friends" story is.What watch face is loaded currently. Had a friend with a battery draining issue and turned out it was software related due to the 3rd party watch face. But it was not severe as 4hours it was like more 4 days I stead of 7 days In your case its most probably the battery Edited December 3, 2019 by Jaws677 candz1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggestions are welcome Seeing that you already run in Nike, have you tried the Zoom fly Flyknit?Nike factory outlet in Access Park was selling these for R980, limited sizes though.

According to Ray (DC Rainmaker), the backlight on all the time is not noticeable in bright conditions and can chow the battery. candz1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaBee Posted December 4, 2019 Share Candz, do a factory reset to get rid of all the potential junk on the watch and then load the latest firmware. And even without clutter, it sometimes happens (rarely, but it does) where the battery just drains on one day. Buddy of mine had his fully charge F5 discharge in couple of hours last week. He rebooted it, charged it up again - and now it's fine. shaper, candz1 and Barry Stuart 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I woke up late and the watch was completely dead. candz1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
