K5 Gus 27 Aug 1:13pm, 27 Aug 2024 6,219 posts	0 K5 Gus Yep, stupid crazy prices - £870 for standard glass, or £950 for sapphire glass. Same price for 43mm and 47mm, the smaller one used to be cheaper. The large 51mm is £950/£1040
larkim 27 Aug 1:19pm, 27 Aug 2024 25,432 posts	0 larkim Would be interesting to track the release prices of the Fenix models over the last 10 years or so. it feels like they've somewhat outstripped inflation!!
Welshpoppy 27 Aug 1:22pm, 27 Aug 2024 4,388 posts	0 Welshpoppy Wowser a big price hike indeed.I guessed a new one was coming as Currys reduced the 7. Way out of my budget as I like Sapphire and large screen.I shall stick to my Fenix 6.
Badger 27 Aug 1:52pm, 27 Aug 2024 17,358 posts	0 Badger Bonkers prices. I quite fancy an Epix 2 Pro 51mm because the mapping is glorious on there, and the battery life is good even with the AMOLED, but even that is expensive at nearly £900; the new ones almost make that feel cheap. Fingers crossed for a price cut now the new units are out.
Sam Jelfs 27 Aug 1:53pm, 27 Aug 2024 1,486 posts	0 Sam Jelfs It also doesn't seem like a huge jump in features, at least not from the hardware side. Will be interesting to see how many of the software improvements trickle down to the 7 series. The big hardware change seems to be adding mic and speaker for voice calls, not something I think I would ever want to use.
