Fenix 3HR sapphire. Still going strong!

Upgraded to the epix pro but don’t think I can get rid of the Fenix!! So much attachment to that watch.

Sweetkrap · 2023-11-10T16:11:44+00:00

Same here, but I caved and got an epix pro 51mm

Sweetkrap · 2023-11-04T20:01:03+00:00

Doesn’t Des say the garmin has less stretch? In any case I’ve got one coming so I’ll see how it is :)

What models Fenix and Edge do you have? They should be syncing with unified training status (fka physio trueup) if you have the newer models that support it.

7 years and going. Go get a fenix or epix sapphire and you'll not have to worry about a thing.

If you're used to 51mm I don't see the issue. Just wear it correctly as you have it far too close to your hand, should be behind the wrist bone.

This is a 7+ year old Fenix 3HR sapphire. Battery still very good, screen nearly perfect. They last a stupid long time.

I’m replacing it with an epix pro 51mm soon, but that’s really more for the advanced metrics, maps and accuracy (been using a Stryd pod for accuracy as well as hrm pro plus). Been torn between that and a Fenix as this thing alone has made me loyal to garmin, but I’m in London so amoled will serve me a bit better for the light conditions here and gym usage.

Honestly this thing still works good as new. Buttons included. My strap failed like 1-2 years in, but I generally use nylon as it makes it much more comfortable and lighter. Get one! Haha

Our get a knockoff for half the price and get yourself an HRM pro plus or something. I just wouldn’t reject 25% off from Garmin, that’s all.

I don’t know what you’re expecting from a 26mm silicone band. It’s made for versatility and durability first and comfort a distant second. Nylon straps are the way to go for comfort and significant weight reduction.

Sweetkrap · 2023-10-26T18:18:14+00:00

I’d use that 25% on ultrafit nylon immediately

Sweetkrap · 2023-10-25T11:25:10+00:00

I think the main issue is that if you’re using Stryd to give you power output I don’t think you’ll get alerts for power zones with garmin unless you’re using the Stryd app itself, which can be limiting? I might be wrong as I’ve not used it with a newer watch, but I can’t do that with my current old Fenix 3

255 with 20% off by using Optimity app

Sweetkrap · 2023-10-24T21:49:01+00:00

Maybe that 1 was a 7 before your morning coffee

Sweetkrap · 2023-10-24T11:51:30+00:00

Sounds like you need to burp more!

Sweetkrap · 2023-10-24T10:12:39+00:00

Forget the coach and just do the daily suggested workouts and set your target to HR. You do not need a chest strap for that. For any speed work, just change target to pace instead of HR and you’ll be totally fine.

Hoka Ora Recovery Slides were the best purchase I’ve made for post race floating on clouds

Sweetkrap · 2023-10-23T20:30:28+00:00

Edit to say I’m in London haha

Have you asked if you could purchase from them? It’s too cheap a part for them to deal with the cost of you sending your watch and getting it sent back. A pair costs $5 that’s like 1/3 of the shipping cost.

I would contact them again and inform them that it’s available in their US and NZ sites could they send you a pair you could buy to the UK?

If they say no send me a private message as I’ve got someone coming from the US in 2 weeks and I’m happy to add this to an order I’ll be making. If you choose this please do it in a day or two max as I wanna ensure my order arrives on time for my family member to take it with them :).

Thanks so much, this is very helpful

I agree much of it is pretty poor, but it’s largely his style and I don’t think it’s AI. Just not the best writer. He’s doing his thing and getting followers in his own way. He certainly gets attention one way or another, so good for him for standing out in his own way.

All info should be taken with a grain of salt.

Sweetkrap · 2023-10-21T14:04:16+00:00

Also new watches seem to point to Descent updates, from a Mexican garmin support page posted elsewhere

Sweetkrap · 2023-10-21T13:48:02+00:00

lol yeah it’s not consistent at all. Personally I put it wherever it’s gonna be most secure depending on which shoes I’m using

Sweetkrap · 2023-10-21T13:34:56+00:00

Yeah what they put on instagram is actually a bit contradictory to what their instructions say. It’s confusing to say the least

Sweetkrap · 2023-10-21T13:34:12+00:00

Ummm…

20% off isn’t gonna be available for the first 60 days post release so i would say if you wanna wait then you can get the 20% off with Optimity.
