Regarding connectivity, I never noticed that you can only pair 2 devices - I am sure I connected 3 devices once: HR(breast strap), cadence, speed But considering that it uses also it's own sensor, maybe HR was measured from there...

I found a new 5 plus sapphire for $333 locally and am semi-tempted. Does the 5 plus have aod?

So a mixed blessing. I remain undecided.

Hey Speedlever! $333 for the 5 plus sapphire is a pretty good deal. The Vivoactive HR was actually my first GPS watch - loved that thing. My normal Fenix 5 does have an always-on-display, it's dimmer in standby than if you press a button (or in activity it can sense when you bring your arm up to check it and it will brighten the display automatically). Yeah, I'm not quite sure what the EOL for the updates for the Fenix 5 are, the leatest update was released at the end of October 2020. But you're right - their support has always been fantastic to deal with. The deciding factor for me when I upgraded from the Vivoactive HR was that I wanted a watch that could do open water swim tracking, and also something less bulky. If there's anything else you'd like to know let me know! Appreciate you tuning in, have a happy new year!

Hey Christian! I'd go with the 935 because of the weight. I just recently picked up the 945 lte to replace my Fenix 5 and I gotta say the weight difference makes it much more enjoyable for me as someone who mainly runs and does triathlon on the side. Thanks for tuning in I hope that helps!

I have the opportunity to get a 5x for about £120. Any ideas on whether it's worth getting a 5x today?
@BrendonCamm
Жыл бұрын
Hmmmm at that price today it's tough for me to say it is. The Coros pace 2 is £180 and likely performs a bit better, lighter on your wrist and will (likely) get product support for longer. The 5x is still great and I'm sure you'd enjoy it, but if youre willing to spend the additional £60 you may be happier with the pace 2.

I have Ticwatch Pro 3 GPS. Should I get Fenix 5?
@BrendonCamm
3 жыл бұрын
Hey Madi! I haven't personally tried the Ticwatch Pro 3, but from what I understand the Fenix 5 would be a good choice if you're looking for a more advanced GPS watch. From what I've read online about the Ticwatch, the Fenix 5 will give you better battery life, the option for open watch swimming, and a slew of other features. In addition to that you're going to be in the Garmin ecosystem which you can use to add apps to your watch. However, if you're completely happy with your ticwatch then there's no need to upgrade :) Thanks so much for tuning in, have a great day!

Fénix 5X or iPhone 6? Any recommendations?
@BrendonCamm
3 жыл бұрын
Hey Me G! Do you mean the apple watch series 6? If so, I'd say it depends on if you want a smart watch with some fitness features or if you want a pure fitness watch. The biggest advantage of getting the Fenix over the series 6 would be the battery life! Thanks so much for tuning in, have a good day :)

I'm researching a watch to purchase for an upcoming triathlon and I've been seeing the Fenix 5X and the Fenix 5 sapphire, does anybody know the difference?
@Bpf1893

The X relates to the size. 5S is small, 5 is medium, 5X is big. Sapphire is the glass type, being it’s a stronger glass than non sapphire. You can get any size in sapphire.

What’s the best budget garmin for triathalons but can also do music ?
@BrendonCamm
3 жыл бұрын
Hey Abdul! Hmmm I had to do some research, but I think the cheapest option for triathlon watches that do music would be the Garmin 745, that's assuming you want to be able to use it for open water swimming with GPS anyway. If you don't need open water swimming there are other cheaper options like the Garmin 245 Music, or Vivoactive 3 Music - they should still be able to do pool swims, but you wont get open water swimming data. I hope that helped! Have a great day, really appreciate you taking the time to watch :)

I got my fenix 5x sapphire few weeks ago for $500 aud instead of $1000aud. Would have loved a Fenix 6x sapphire but price tag is to high for me at $1500. Although i wish i paid more attention as the 5x plus sapphire was $200 aud more but overall i am happy. ( Hoping the wife wants one so i give her my 5x and by the 5x plus for me 😂😂😂 )
