You could get a alcatel 3.5 screen android mobile phone for sub £20 with GPS I think, powerbanks at poundland and you could get one of those free sims from three that give you 200MB of data for nothing every month. You could be up and running with gps, constant internet connection etc for very little money. A bit of customisation and settings adjustment might work very well to optimise it towards being a cycle computer/gps. However its being able to view the screen I think that would be the problem. Might need an anti-glare filter and perhaps an app that changes the output of the display, to make it easier to see in sunlight, exceptionally high contrast black/white etc. I think getting a phone with a high brightness display would be the ideal solution. Unsure what the best equipment would be but the Garmin solution seems overly expensive.

Battery life primarily, these last much longer than a cheap phone would, much smaller/lighter to mount on your bike too

Can someone explain why on earth you'd pay £184 (!!) for this instead of using a cheap android device for a fraction of the price?

Think so. Look Germany based. Trustpilot score of 8.3 but not bought from them myself yet. Not a Wiggle/CRC score but better than Halfords/Evans Cycles.

Cheapest way is to sign up as a BC cycling fan for £23 a year. You get your 10% off at CRC, halfords and Cycle republic. £100 min spend at CRC though...

What’s the cheapest way to sign up with BC? Haven’t cycled much since I came off my bike a few years ago so not sure that I’d use any other benefits.

I have small wrists (can't wear most smartwatches) but can wear the 5s comfortably all day, it's much smaller than some of the previous Fenix watches.

Is this big given it’s the smallest version they make the Fenix 5 in?

Nice watch but still a little big on small wrists.

Happened to me three years ago when I was travelling through Europe that my phone's charging port broke in Germany. When I realised, it was too late, I had no phone and no GPS . When I stopped at the first petrol station to see if I could buy a GPS or another phone, I realised that my car's water pump is about to go, coolant was leaking. We were lucky with my wife's phone and the offline iGo installed on it. I wish I had a proper GPS device. :)

Google maps. End of...

Totally agree, waze is the best with live traffic, camera google search pretty much everything u need on the road and I use it everywhere I go internationally as long as u have data plan which cost nothing these days

Personal choice, much larger screen, improved interface, allegedly superior GPS? They seem to be cheaper and cheaper as time goes on, which is good for anyone who wants to buy them. I personally use my phone when needed for navigation but each to their own.. ;)

People still buy sat navs in 2018? Why not just use your phone?

Is it Bluetooth? I wanna connect it to a headset

Great price I've got the 51lmt-d more or less the same can't fault it so much better than using your phone with google maps phones ok for occasional use

Nope. I have 8 years old model, still can update, used SD card this time because the internal memory is too small. 100% working.

personally lifetime map updates should be for the life of the company,but normally its up to the company to decide when its worth updating maps for a certain model,which usually is between 3-5 years

Waze is the nuts.

I have a 235 and it’s the only smart watch I kept, sold all the rest. It’s a great watch, so imagine this is even better but I’m not sure I’d pay the extra.

My son is now on his third Fenix 5S, the first two having been replaced under warranty in just four months. Both had the same issue (large white spot, possibly condensation, appearing on the face of the watch and getting after sea swimming). Currently waiting for customer services to collect the third watch (unused so may still have the same issue) as the cheeky buggers sent a refurbished one. No explanation or apology for the fault and took lots of 'discussion' to get them to agree to send a 'new' watch to replace the refurbished one. 'Watch' this space!. Needless to say I can't recommend.

Had mine for roughly a year now outstanding watch even relegated my good dress watch to the top drawer for a while at this price it’s a bargain as well as running biking etc it’s also got the golf gps built in

Not that this is much help, but Garmin were selling these for 1999DKK at Copenhagen Marathon last weekend (about £230). Makes me wonder if a Fenix 6/7 is around the corner. If anyone knows of a good 935XT deal...

i have owned several smart watches from the Gear S, Apple Watch Series 0, Microsoft Band 2 and now this... This is by far the best and most used. Battery life is staggering. The sports tracking is very good as well - it includes skydiving! I mainly use for Golf, Running, Walking and Cycling plus the other standard features of steps, heart rate and stress monitoring. Cracking watch.

Ood

it looks like they're both standard fenix 5 models?

Hot!! Great watch, great price!

Looks like fenix 5 included too? This is listed as 5s but looks like a 5? https://www.hsamuel.co.uk/webstore/d/9176055/garmin+fenix+5s+men's+slate+grey+silicone+strap+smartwatch/

It's worth it for the wiggle discount tif you can spend 500 in a rolling year.

Back up to £184:/

I've just checked and Wiggle will price match Amazon if you prefer to buy from them :D

With that code, some cashback and a packet of Haribo - makes the deals pretty even :)

It does include them. I bought the bundle which includes the HRM and S&C sensors. So you get everything with this kit. What I like best about it is it DOESN'T USE BLOODY ZIP TIES! It's actually the only one i can find that uses bands and also doesn't require removal of a pedal. Worth the money for that alone!

Mine arrived as well, anyone want to buy a yucky yellow strap :D

Came this morning, and banged it on charge. Bargain!

Got it. fantastic price at £318. Fantastic watch. cheers OP

Looks like Blacks has picked up on the fact that the code was working when it clearly shouldn't have (Garmin was listed as excluded). Hope all of you who ordered at £318.75 manage to get them. As I already had a Fenix 3, I didn't order one but I kind of wish I had now.

what code? Never mind I found it, and ordered

Looks like it’s £299 now. Adding to basket makes no difference.

Thanks :)

great first post Op (highfive)

I also have the garmin vision and radar plus HRM, speed and cadence sensors. These all connect to my garmin 1000 seamlessly.

Picked mine up yesterday and took it for a run today. It doesn't look as nice as my Samsung S3 or feel as well made but it works so much better for fitness. Haven't come across any issues yet and the battery looks like it will last about 4 days ish but then I have been playing with it a lot.

I got John Lewis to price match this today so I can replace my Samsung S3 for running. Hopefully I will get a good one but at least it will be covered for two years. Looking forward to picking it up tomorrow.

Bought this a while back - a word of warning, there's a known issue with the GPS (on some units) tracking short. Around 350-400m over a 5k in my case. A real shame as I had the Vivoactive HR beforehand which was rock solid. Pretty disappointed tbh

I also bought one on the Treasure Truck for £159 last week with the aim to replace my ageing Fenix 3. Unless you're a hardcore fitness fanatic, then the vivoactive 3 has all the useful fitness features that the Fenix 3 does (plus HR monitor) so is great value for money. However, I just couldn't get on with the touchscreen. I found it fiddly and not as responsive as I hoped. I just prefer buttons to select the options. I also preferred the look of the Fenix 3 when compared side-by-side, so I sent it back and will stick with my Fenix 3 for now.

I had one of these on release day and quite liked it. Got rid and upgraded to a 935 though.
