Garmin Fenix 5 - anyone got one?
Discussion
I've got a 920 XT, but "really" want to have wrist HR, Indoor rowing recording and skiing (Ski Tracks doesn't work on my Galaxy Edge) on just one gadget, which the 5 promises. I know WRH is flaky on rowing due to the constant loading / unloading (had a VivoActive that proved that issue), and as long as the GPS is comparable to the 920 I'd be happy.
Or is there another premium product that is compatible with Garmin Connect ( a lot of training data and history invested)

I folded and got the 5x with the two straps, wear it every day now.
It does what it says on the tin...
My biggest gripe is that you really need a chest monitor if you’re doing anything other than running outside, because either your wrists are too mobile to get a good read, or you sweat too much to get a good read. Both of these are wrist monitor foibles, not unique to Garmin. Indoor rowing is something I really wanted it to work on, but hey ho.
Can’t wait to try it for skiing.
Don’t use it while you’re welding though, as weld splatter will ruin the glass, even if it is sapphire.
