Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Looks great. But what is (or was) a Fenix? Have I missed something somewhere?

Hendo - I think Fenix is more used by fell/hill walkers/runners due to its navigation software but has the added funcationality of bike/swim in it as well.

It's probably the least ugly watch Garmin have ever made.
Hendo, the fenix watches are made by the outdoors division at Garmin; started out as ABC watches with added GPS and evolved to support run/bike/swim with a bit of smartphone navigation thrown in, all of which stretched the hardware painfully. Looks as though the new model is repositioned directly above the 920xt, with better navigation.

For ultra runners, the Garmin microsite suggests it supports charging while recording.

You say "better".... when I say smartphone navigation, I mean smartphone notification. Duh.

So who's going to be the first to put up the £500 it's likely to cost?
