Look what just arrived!

[RunBrianRun]

Ordered yesterday after spending months and months deliberating. Couldn’t resist the amazon prime offer! Oh dear...this running lark is costing 😂

You won’t regret it 😊

I hope not. 😃 Just looking at the instructions to try and get my head round it. Not something I normally do but it looks quite complicated! Need to find out what vo2 max is too. Hee hee. Great fun!

[Hidden in reply to RunBrianRun]

Lots online and YouTube about setting up. It’s fairly easy (at least y Fenix 5s was)and you can have the fun of downoalding and personalising new watch faces. I have mine to buzz each km completed. It flags up the time too, also that effort thingy. BTW VO2 Max is a useful measure of how much oxygen in your blood or soemthing - anyway it measures fitness. It varies according to age and gender. If I look at the graph of mine from when Imstarted running again to now, it’s like a hike up Everest, so worth tracking - though real VO2 Max measurements are taken with you running on a treadmill wearing an oxygen mask and pushing to the absolute limit of your ability.

Brilliant. Thanks Flick, lots of good advice there. My head is already spinning! 😂

[Jay66UK Graduate10]

Excellent. I’ve got another late meeting today but I’m hoping mine will be sat in my “safe place” at home waiting when I get there. Wish I’d gone for that colour now - the red is nice and subtle.

[Jay66UK Graduate10 in reply to Jay66UK]

As if by magic a delivery notification pops up.

[RunBrianRun Graduate10 in reply to Jay66UK]

Oh that’s definitely something to look forward to then. Mine’s on charge; so sitting here twiddling my thumbs and passing time.

[Jay66UK Graduate10 in reply to RunBrianRun]

Curses. Forgot it will need charging. Nip around mine and get it started, will you? 🤣

[RunBrianRun Graduate10 in reply to Jay66UK]

😂😂 it’s like waiting for Xmas 😂😂

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to RunBrianRun]

You’ll have all the kit you need by Xmas and no one will know what to get you

[RunBrianRun Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

😂😂 One can never have enough kit! 😂😂

[Dexy5 Graduate10 in reply to RunBrianRun]

My lovely wife just handed this to me last night !. However I’m a bit new as to how to use it and how/ what to hook it up to . Is there an app I should download for my iPhone ?

[RunBrianRun Graduate10]

Aren’t you a lucky boy! I downloaded the Garmin Connect app. And then YouTube videos and google 😂 I then played with lots of different watch faces which you can access and download from the app Connect IQ store.
