    Haven't found the Fenix 3 HR that cheap anywhere...

    I have a temptation, the Garmin Chrono. Looks great, however, we all know that this type of watch is not like the old grandpa watch. Probably in 4 years the battery will be dead, and 800 euro sent to the bin.

    Found it on amazon.de and ordered... it seems like they will cancel the order. They emailed first to say they cannot predict when it will be sent... I expect the next mail to say they have to cancel

    I had a look on amazon.de and they say can't deliver to Ireland.

    This was it, but the price has jumped back up again now... Which makes me think it was a pricing error they will not honour

    If you can, I would hold out for another few weeks. I can gaureentee that the fenix 3 will be on sale.

    Have this watch about 5 months and love it.

    Also, googling Alexandra's of Keswick points to a ladies clothes shop.

    I think amazon has buyer protection so you should be OK one way or the other.

    Anyone having issues with GPS accuracy on these?

    At the end of this run there is mad little loop its added in of its own accord. While I appreciate the 1:50 m/m pace it's not exactly realisitc. Anyone else having problems? This is the seocnd time this has happened in a week?

    We cant see your map as it is listed as private but i have not had any problems with gps accuracy.
    The only thing that went wrong for me was the altimeter. Was saying i was at 20000 meters. Fixed after i gave the watch a wash. (Salt in the barometer slot i believe)

    Does anyone know if the watch face on the quatix bravo is available for the Fenix 3? I can't seem to find it on the store.

    Cheers for the reply Beep beep. This is the face I'm looking for (was on my phone earlier and it was proving difficult to post a pic!)

    Just keep an eye on the app store, if that's a new watch someone will give it a shot soon enough.

    Are race markers that accurate in Ireland?

    BTW what's the best deal on Fenix 3 at the moment?

    How else would you use a pace band?

    With a stop watch.

    But why would use a garmin but then rely on mile markers that may be inaccurate? Genuine question.

    Is it not the case that the app is completely useless if the markers are out?

    Ok, so lets dumb it down.

    A Garmin is a stopwatch with added functionality.
    One of the added functions is GPS, which we know isn't 100% accurate.
    You would hope that some if not all the mile/km would be accurate (otherwise your pace band and and stopwatch are equally redundant).
    The app will reset your average pace based on the course markers, so you can use your stopwatch with added functionality, rather than your stopwatch and a pace band.

    HTH
