maddmaxx ★ Posted June 6, 2020 Share #4 Posted June 6, 2020 Nice. Mine is now so elderly that I'm going to have trouble soon getting replacement bands for it (model specific). That makes it just about perfect for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerrySTL ★ Posted June 6, 2020 Share #8 Posted June 6, 2020 I'm getting a Garmin Edge 530 tomorrow for my birthday. The screen on my old 520 is starting to go bad. I've probably dropped it too many times over the years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, I'll hold on to it and gift it to you, with a catch. Today is the start of my 30 day challenge. Go for a run every day for 30 days, and it's yours. It must start today. You cannot skip any days. If you haven't run recently (or ever), I suggest a couch to 5k program. It's amazing how hard it is to start running. This is my old one: https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/603267 Deal? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are not a runner, I cannot stress enough to start slow. It is really easy to get injured, and those can last. I sprained a tendon on a 10 mile treadmill run. It hurt and affected my runs for years. Also, if you start doing long runs, look into nipple bleeding. It's real and it hurts a lot. Most women wear sports bras, so they don't have the issue. For long runs I wear band aids (they hurt to take off). For short runs, nothing. It's a really nice watch, it is in brand new condition. I wore it as my regular watch. I have a bunch of bands, I mix and match them. I even bought a really nice titanium band. The fit the new watch, so I'll only give you the orange one it came with.

Downloaded a Couch to 5 k app and will get Ryan to keep me honest. Sell the watch to someone as I was just being a smart ass. after 30 days I may demand a forum name change to The Texas Obviously Sucks Forum 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The screen on my old 520 is starting to go bad. I've probably dropped it too many times over the years. I just ordered one a few minutes ago. I used my REI dividend plus a couple of gift cards from those “take a picture of your receipt and earn cash” apps. It took about a year, but I had enough where my actual cost was just under $30. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's primarily a running watch, though it does almost every sport and connects to everything, so it could be used for cycling. They make a bike mount for it.

An obscure magazine called "Bicycling" has a short article on the Fenix 6X Pro in their latest issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
