I luv this watch still need a workshop to figure it out.:)

I love the Garmin Fenix 5 in Slate Grey that I received, but I can't give it 5 stars because I actually ordered the Fenix 5 Sapphire. The watch inside the box had been switched out with the 'cheaper' non-sapphire version and, as I was about to leave on a month-long overseas trip during which I would...

We loved the Fenix Chronos but it was SO expensive. This is the same but costs less than half as much. But we recommend paying a bit more for the less ugly 5S.

Measure everything really well (mostly; Superb battery life

Big upgrade for myself, has alot of options. Fairly straightforward to navigate through different screens. Only issue so far are the buttons they are in the wrong position when climbing and exciting a pool. If you bend your wrist back the to if hand hits buttons and changes the settings.

My fitbit blaze is not holding a charge after about a year, so looking for a new tracker. I was told to go Garmin... I was then told not to look at the reviews online, and that this was a good watch. Many of the reviews are negative, and I have experienced the same.

I bought the Fenix 5 mainly for biking and water sports. So easy to download and setup apps. Very accurate gps which is linked with your android phone. I am mainly using the windsurfing sup and mountain bike apps.

DON'T BUY GARMIN ON AMAZON!! GO DIRECTLY TO GARMIN USA PAGE I bought this watch on May 2017 and now (March 2018) it stopped working. I contacted Garmin USA - because I bought it right here on this page - and I was informed by Garmin USA that they cannot do anything about it.

The Garmin Fenix 5 is one of the most powerful multisport outdoor watches available, blending some of the most detailed metrics into a single device. In reality, it's only a minor upgrade from the ageing Fenix 3 HR, which itself was so powerful that Garmin has needed only to make a few tweaks.

Incredible array of data; Every imaginable sport; Slimmer and lighter

Optical HR not the strongest; Recovery advice a bit conservative; Easy to accidentally pause workouts

It's packed with features, and can deliver very detailed information for those who like to monitor their activities in minute detail.

Garmin’s Fenix 5, then, is the undeniable champion of multi-sport trackers. Not least because it can track almost every discipline that’s out there. It also manages to be tough without looking ungainly, and carries a real sense of premium build quality that’s not undermined by a shoddy interface. Those physical buttons actually add to the experience, especially during exercise, while strong Bluetooth and battery performance polish things into a complete tracking package that's also comfortable on smartwatch duty. For most people, it’s also probably overkill. Overkill that you’ll pay £500 for. Unless you're an Ironman, wearing the Fenix 5 means knowing you’ll never truly test its full feature set. It’ll be like owning an Aston Martin in the centre of london: it looks ruddy lovely, turns heads and has the potential to make a lot of noise, but only occasionally get to stretch its legs to the fullest extent. This is a five-star product, then, but one that should, arguably, only be bought by those who eat triathlons for breakfast - or those who don't mind paying big bucks for the smartest, and smartest-looking, multisports watch around. Buy the Garmin Fenix 5 here from Garmin
