Cav' Posted May 26, 2017 Share Ok. So um. It turns out it was oil splatters from cooking stuck on the watch. I cleaned it and now it's fine. My wife told me she cleaned it but her definition of clean and my definition of clean are obviously very different. Wayne Potgieter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Potgieter Posted June 24, 2017 Share Or just import it from the EU for 3500 less.as long as you don't want the 5x as it won't have South African maps. 5 and 5s. Europe is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runbikeswim Posted June 25, 2017 Share Or just import it from the EU for 3500 less.Then add shipping and taxes etc and a delay and a possibility it will never arrive and lastly you don’t get sa maps or sa guarentee.

Paddaman Posted June 25, 2017 Share Got my Fenix 5 HR and added a tri HR chest band.The training algorithms are really useful for ensuring I avoid over training and under-training (two things I swing between)The sleep app is also good to ensure I rest enoughThe off device services on a smart phone/internet are very good and helps process the data easier (The website connect interface sucks a bit and is not intuitive) the phone app is easier to useThe live HR monitor is just a cool app on the watch. (I even watched myself come down with flu and saw my resting heart rate shoot up 20bps in a matter of hoursThe bluetooth integration with the phone and thereafter to strava makes uploading and downloading data immediate.The Tri HR band allows for left/right contact time and some other cool data points which helps uinderstand (and maybe correct) some aches and pains while running. In all this device (with the tri band) practically monitors everything. The phone app allows you to see and analysis all these data points. For a gadget nerd and a data addict/ number cruncher it is a must have. For the intuitive runner it can help prevent going off the rails ito over/under training. With Multiply points and discounts it can be very affordable, but at 10k from Sportsman's warehouse, you need to be a very very serious athlete to justify the expense ps it also has real time tracking so your significant other can track you via email updates. This will improve safety on long rides and runs (but you will need to take your cellphone with you and there must be cell phone reception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hacc Posted June 25, 2017 Share Thanks for all the feedback Paddaman. I am seriously considering getting the 5S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandonF_ Posted June 25, 2017 Share I had a 3, until a truck ran over it and then insurance replaced with a 3HR - so was also thinking along those line, worth the upgrade from 3, but not 3HR. The mapping sounds pretty awesome though, especially if it is something you are going to use often. I think the 3 is quite lacking in that department!"Truck ran over it" ????.....glad you still have one other 'Wrist' to use the insurance claim on ????????
