Runbikeswim Posted March 17, 2015 Share Just sold my Garmin Fenix 2, and anticipating some extra ching to come in I am looking at a new multisport watch.I am a stravaian, so jip has to feed into strava, I also want it to synch with my phone so I don’t need to plug into a pc, live tracking would be nice and it has to have multiple and custom profiles, so if I want a kayak one I can create it. Sofar it seems its up to Garmin 920 xt ? and suunto ambit 3( the ambit being very expensive) I also really want the Fenix 3 but can’t seem to find anyone with stock? Is it even out in SA? Issue I have with the Garmin 920 xt is that it has just those two horrendous colours... black/blue and white/red. What would you recommend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheJ Posted March 17, 2015 Share Loving my 910XT. As people "upgrade" now they can be found for cheap. And it does 99% of what the 920XT does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottCM Posted March 17, 2015 Share I Recommend Fenix 2 why did you sell yours?The Fenix 3 is only coming out at the end of the year in RSA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gideondv Posted March 17, 2015 Share Fenix 3 > ambit 3. Fenix 3 will be available in SA mid April. Can link it with your phone to receive notification (Sms, calls ect ). I am waiting till then. It would probably be in the price range of the Ambit 3. Go to Dcrainmaker.com and read the full review on the fenix 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIK-NAK Posted March 17, 2015 Share I just got the 920XT a couple of weeks ago and could not be more impressed with it. Does everything I could want and more. - The best watch for multisport in my opinion usxorf and Runbikeswim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottCM Posted March 18, 2015 Share I just got the 920XT a couple of weeks ago and could not be more impressed with it. Does everything I could want and more. - The best watch for multisport in my opinion From your use what limitations have you found? I read that if you load a course you can't zoom in on it, what is the default magnification it goes to, 500m? If you are doing / Following a course, can you access your own display pages such as what you normally use during a ride eg: Speed, Distance, Hr & Cadence which you set up in Page 1?
