Hello!
I am looking to upgrade my Garmin Fenix and had my eye on the Fenix 5 for quite some time. However, upon reading reviews I am seeing that the GPS tracking for open water swims is terrible. Has anyone used this watch for open water distance swims? If so, what was your experience like? Worth the money?
Thanks!
Sami
Hi Dave, I was doing some research because I was thinking my Fenix 5 isn't tracking properly in open water (I'm not a fast swimmer, but I really thought I was faster than what it was tracking). I can see the Fenix 5 route, but for some reason I can't see the 920XT route. I guess I"m just trying to calm my fears of being extremely slow in OWS. For reference it said I swam an average pace of 3:39/100 yd, but in the pool I swim about 2:15/100m
