Not out quite yet but…
ABC, GPS, bluetooth, sunrise/set, moon phase, way points, waterproof. Plus it tells the time.Jul 10, 2012 at 8:01 am #1893634I have the Foretrex 301 and love it. This seems to beat it in every way, though I only paid $100 for my Foretrex.
Jul 10, 2012 at 9:10 am #1893649The battery life is not bad but unfortunately, being a recharable battery makes it less than ideal for extended trips. That said, I will be looking at getting one once they are available… just too cool to resist! It's not light though… my Fortrex 301 is lighter however the Fenix has a far better set of features, so if you consider weight per feature… rationalize, rationalize… :)
Thanks for posting the link.
Sep 13, 2012 at 6:48 am #1911895anyone have this watch? I've been looking at the Suunto Ambit, but it looks like the Fenix does everything the Ambit does for 100 bones less- I didn't realize the Fenix displayed in UTMs (or lat/long if you prefer)- now it's a top contender
thanks
