Heads up! The Garmin Enduro 3 is down to $829, some $70 off. That’s the lowest price to date on this new device. The Enduro 3 is notable though because it’s basically a Fenix 8 Solar minus the dive/voice features (and the Fenix 8 Solar/MIP starts at $1,099). Everything else is there, and it gets all Fenix 8 software features (and, insane battery life). Meanwhile, the Fenix 7 down to $429!

Have some fun in the travel section.
I travel a fair bit, both for work and for fun. Here’s a bunch of random trip reports and daily trip-logs that I’ve put together and posted. I’ve sorted it all by world geography, in an attempt to make it easy to figure out where I’ve been.
My Photography Gear: The Cameras/Drones/Action Cams I Use Daily
The most common question I receive outside of the “what’s the best GPS watch for me” variant, are photography-esq based. So in efforts to combat the amount of emails I need to sort through on a daily basis, I’ve complied this “My Photography Gear” post for your curious minds (including drones & action cams!)! It’s a nice break from the day-to-day sports-tech talk, and I hope you get something out of it!
The Swim/Bike/Run Gear I Use List
Many readers stumble into my website in search of information on the latest and greatest sports tech products. But at the end of the day, you might just be wondering “What does Ray use when not testing new products?”. So here is the most up to date list of products I like and fit the bill for me and my training needs best! DC Rainmaker 2024 swim, bike, run, and general gear list. But wait, are you a female and feel like these things might not apply to you? If that’s the case (but certainly not saying my choices aren’t good for women), and you just want to see a different gear junkies “picks”, check out The Girl’s Gear Guide too.
Edge series firmware updates. Perhaps a new accessory product release? I think they’ve done similar before
I’m hoping for Tempe support. A temperature sensor underneath the saddle, out of the sunlight, would be an improvement over the built-in sensor I think.
TBH I don’t understand why it isn’t supported already while so many other Garmin devices do support it; I’m sure it’ll (modestly) drive sales of the Tempe…
Wait, there’s no Tempe support on Edge units? Not even on the 1030+ ?
New models are unlikely. They have had quite a few firmware updates so far and the release cycle is longer than the time they have been out.
Hope, not even on 1030+, just takes it from internal sensor with no option otherwise
^Nope, not Hope!
Noticed a massive improvement in screen response in my 820
Hmmm. I might try it. I’ve gone back to and have been sticking with 11.2 on my 820 due to battery life, sensor dropouts, green screen, and other issues with subsequent releases. Seems I’ve always wound up using down rev firmware toward the end of a Garmin’s product life as the final versions were worse.
So, what about that Ghost Pacer link……? :)
Dah. I had that in a notepad I lost, thought I got everything. My bad. Will add it in something upcoming this week!
Here it is for others till then: link to kickstarter.com
I see you picked up on the ANT+ icon in the Karoo update (it seems like the lack of it was one of your pet peeves).
Yup, noticed it right away when I went to pair sensors. So much cleaner now!
The 245 and 945 also received big beta updates?
Yeah, they were the week prior. I’ve actually got a post talking about some of those things coming up, combining with something else. Just waiting on something else to drop so that it all makes sense.
Do we assume that the 645 is now a bit of a dead duck in terms of any updates etc, whilst notionally it has been Garmin’s top running watch I’m assuming now the limitation on hardware and planned obsolesence means that the 245 has overtaken it.
I’m reealllllyyyy hoping that “something else to drop” that Ray referred to above is a 655 (or 735). I’ll even order it before Ray’s review drops if it has LTE. PLEASE GARMIN, let me let my wife live track my long runs without dragging a phone along.
Garmin has a suggestions page; at worst asking for further 645 support is only a shot to nothing. At least it would let them know

It’s definitely worth making sure Garmin hears the FR645 feedback. Personally I think it should at least match the FR245 features.
Note – I did confirm this week that for the FR645 feature firmware updates, that “that ship has sailed”. :(
HI.
I see that the 645 gets Connect IQ 3.2 today.
Do you know what the impact of that potentially means?
Thanks
Thanks

The Edge 530 update was actually more important because the 5.66 beta was up and then pulled down quickly. Those of us that were unlucky to have installed it (and have Di2) had a nasty bug which was then fixed in 5.68
Wait…you mean you didnt know??!?!?…oh my god…stop the horses…my life will end because theres no Tempe support…what am I gonna dooooo….
Ffs…
Seems pretty valid question though, why not?
After all there’s Varia Vision support, of which here’s probably like 4 people using it.
“This week might be semi-quiet as well as I prep things for the 7-10 days ahead – but next week will definitely make up for it.”
Kickr Core 2020 update incoming?
The way Wahoo worded their PR pile of stuffs – they seem to indicate the line-up we see today is the lineup for the season ahead.
