Garmin Fenix 2 - Pros & Cons

the device is really solid from what I ve tested
Backcountry & Competitive Cyclist offer free 2-day shipping
the performance is pretty flawless
Everything is pretty intuitive
lightweight
easy to use
extremely accurate
high-tech outdoor athlete train more efficiently and effectively
f nix 2 is simple to use
the Fenix 2 is truly fantastic for almost all of those things
fenix 2 feels like it can withstand some rigorous use
fenix 2 is great for serious swimmers
Battery-life remains consistent
watch looks good and certainly doesn't
truly a multi-sport watch and is waterproof to 50 meters
It s accurate
it s tough and it looks great

things are a bit of a mess in Garmin Connect
it lacks any of the Bluetooth capabilities
the picture is still a bit fragmented
the edge of the screen will turn into a little needle
the unit gets rather messy data to work with
rural trail running rather than urban pavement pounding
having Bluetooth running constantly in the background shrivels the battery
clunky and anachronistic UI and uninspiring screen
the display is a deeply uninspiring monochrome LED
Fenix 2 can only talk to one Bluetooth source at a time
It s bulky for the small-wristed
charging connector is annoying to deal with
its data is completely thrown off by the heat your body gives off
and Bluetooth simultaneously is a real face-palm situation
Garmin 620 this indicator is not as clear
extremely difficult to load maps and routes onto the watch
clip takes some fidgeting to get a proper connection
annoying to have to sync with a PC every time
lacks some of the more basic health and fitness features
lack of an easy way to mount the watch on a bike could be annoying
the start/stop timer
that - starting/stopping requires one button push
You are using an outdated browser
a vibration to mark every mile
GPS devices rarely miss a beat in the woods
Elevation data can be tricky for any device
accuracy remains mediocre at best
lost my ride data
calibration is a little tedious
on the Fenix 2 is a little harder to read than most other watches
lost satellite reception"
5X is only available with a Saphire screen
down a particularly rough MTB descent
lack of Elevate HR sensor
fenix 3 HR s optical sensor
watch won t waste battery looking for the sensor
data junky is expensive
