UPDATE: Read my hands on review of the Garmin fenix.
Look what just showed up in the app store. That’s right, Garmin has rolled out BaseCamp Mobile for their new fenix backcountry sportswatch. At present it is for iOS only, although I have been told they are looking into an Android version. The app works on the iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (5th generation), iPad (3rd generation), and iPad Wi-Fi + 4G, and requires iOS 5.1 or later.

Garmin fenix – a wrist-top backcountry navigator

UPDATE: Read my hands on review of the Garmin fenix.
The Garmin fenix (pronounced Phoenix) was announced by the company this morning.
