So only added mapping and one or two ANT+ sensors added. (Lights, varia etc.)

 

Little more pixels.

 

I like the new straps. 

 

But not worth the upgrade cost.

While it is a small change - being able to have the varia radar vibrate your wrist when there is a car speeding from behind you is a nice addition.

 

what I dont get is my varia radar talks to my 510, but wont talk to a much newer fenix 3...

Because there is a Fenix 5 that Garmin wants you to buy...

I think the addition of BLE is an interesting development. My speed/cadence and HRM is BLE so buying the watch has just become more attractive.

3 to 5 months before we see it here

Before we see the new fenix 5 in retail outlets or before we see the fenix 3 in the Hub classifieds?

I think I am quite interested in this.

 

I have a Fenix three sapphire and was considering the upgrade to the Fenix three hr. so glad I waited a couple of weeks.

Just pre ordered a Fenix 5x for myself and a fenix 5s for the wife.

 

Gonna have to sell some old ones now to raise some cash.

 

Forerunner 35 in white, 920XT in black/blue and Fenix 3 saphire with metal band.

 

I am quite keen to see what they are like.

I ordered the 5x. Want the mapping functionality. A little bit concerned about the wrist size. I currently use the 3 sapphire and it's already a bit on the large side.

 

Wifey is getting the 5s tomorrow. Will post pics of that one as well.
