maps for more advanced route planning and GPS functionality, including cycling maps and more than 40,000 golf courses worldwide. Why so much space? The Garmin Fēnix 5X offers full-color TOPO U.S. This model retains the same screen from the Garmin Fēnix 5 but offers up to 12 days of battery in smartphone mode and ups storage space from 64 MB (on the Garmin Fēnix 5) to a beastly 12 GB. The larger case size receives a larger 1.2” display (240 x 240 pixels) and a larger battery for up to two weeks in smartphone mode.įinally, the behemoth 51mm Garmin Fēnix 5X is available only in a Sapphire Edition in slate grey with a black silicone strap or a metal bracelet. The 47mm Garmin Fēnix 5 comes in slate grey or silver, with the Sapphire Edition adding the option of a slate grey metal bracelet or a black case. The Garmin Fēnix 5S’s 42mm case houses a 1.1” always-on 218 x 218 pixel color display, a rechargeable battery offering up to 9 days of battery life (less while tracking with the GPS), and a heart rate monitor. Beyond the coloring, the Sapphire Edition adds a sapphire crystal and Wi-Fi connectivity.
The base Garmin Fēnix 5S comes in silver or white, while the “Sapphire Edition” offers champagne or black coloring along with an optional metal bracelet (presumably steel, but not specifically stated).
#Garmin watch faces fenix 5 full
Being Fēnix models, all three versions offer fitness tracking, on-wrist heart rate monitoring, full ABC (altimeter, barometer, compass), GPS navigation, and smartphone connectivity for notifications and app integration. The new Garmin Fēnix 5 lineup inlcudes the 42mm Garmin Fēnix 5S, the 47mm Garmin Fēnix 5, and the 51mm Garmin Fenix 5X.
I’ve used both the Fēnix 3 and the Fēnix Chronos and at 51.5mm and 49mm, respectively, they have always been very functional but quite large. While the bulk of the “wearables” market is still proving its mettle, Garmin has been steadily producing a wide range of techy sport-focused watches designed for a host of activities from hiking to running, swimming, and more. Offering a similar format as the Fēnix 3 and the Fēnix Chronos, the Garmin Fēnix 5 iterates with multiple sizes, more options, and increased mapping abilities. Earlier this month at CES, Garmin announced their expanded line of premium multi-sport smartwatches with the new Garmin Fēnix 5 lineup.
