Garmin Fenix
he Fenix has been around for
a while now but Garmin are
releasing a military version all
in black with a few upgrades. I
have had the Fenix for around
three months now and I can say
that I am converted it’s a GPS
and a watch all thrown in to one
which saves me a hell of a lot of
space, time and batteries.
The watch is charged up
by USB from the mains or a laptop and a full charge
in watch mode can last up to 4 weeks when used in
conjunction with the GPS at times for things like
grid references it knocks it down to around 2 weeks
depending on how you use it but saying that all you
do is put it on charge over night at the end of the
week and its charged again ready to go.
The functions of the watch do take abit of getting
your head around and the logic if not used to this type
of device can get you a bit worked up but once you
have got it then your set up. It has different ways of
displaying the time and date to suit preference and
you can set it up in different modes i.e. Mountaineering
