New Garmin Workout Watch
I know there is a thread somewhere about Roadies and watches (more fancy ones in general) but this watch looks pretty spiffy. Could do quite a lot on the bike and still can be used elsewhere, which might help justify a $400 price tag. Obviously targeted towards running/hiking etc but still could work on a bike.

I'm rather interested. I skimmed over DCrainmaker's Beta review. I'll give the full review, when released, a detailed read. My Garmin 610 Forerunner has been doing some funny things recently, but I've had it from just after release. I'd like to get a new GPS watch as a back-up in the event my 610 fails. I had been looking into the 910xt for multisport options and to provide a run backup, but mainly for swim metrics. This new Felix is looking promising though. I'd like a watch I can take hiking and have enough battery to record the whole hike (610 only has 8 hours of battery life). I'll be keeping my eyes on it, although I'll probably wait 6 months or longer in hopes of getting some discounted product.

No ability to record power data from an ANT+ device?

Based on DC Rainmaker's post, it looks like it can display power from ANT+. Maybe it only displays but doesn't record?
"The Fenix2 introduces power meter support for ANT+ capable power meters, such as the PowerTap, Garmin Vector, or Quarq Cinqo (among many others like Stages, Power2Max, SRM, etc…). In short: If it’s an ANT+ power meter, it’ll work with Garmin Fenix2."
