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.
Pros:
  • Measure everything really well (mostly
  • Superb battery life
Cons:
  • Fugly

Fantastic watch. Lots of functionality. The Heartbeat tracking has about a 30 second delay so if you're really tracking it for HIT training get a chest strap.

Garmin fenix 5

First time buyer of the Fenix series multisport watch. Fit and finish is very impressive. It looks and feels like an expensive watch (which is good, because it's certainly not inexpensive). Stylish to wear with a suit or out for a Sunday run.
Pros:
  • Solid look and feel - Can track everything you throw at it - Golf GPS built in (works awesome) - Super strong battery life
Cons:
  • - HR monitor can be inaccurate at times - Questionable calorie burn data compared with Fitbit Charge - Limited "app" store for customization
  • but if you're buying this watch it's not to play games or respond to texts

Good options

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.

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.

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...

My Fitbit Blaze is more accurate at 1/4 the price!

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.
