Garmin Fenix 5 series review
Garmin's new smartwatches aren't for everyone. They'll only suit people who're serious about sports tracking or venture outdoors on hikes, ski trips or bike rides on a regular basis. It's not cheap, so we'd recommend looking elsewhere if GPS isn't essential to you. We're impressed with Garmin's new designs, though, and much prefer their look to previous models. We're looking forward to spending more time with the Fenix 5 watches to bring you our final verdict and star rating soon.

Review: Garmin's Fenix 5 smartwatch aims at athletes, not Apple Watch fans
Garmin's Fenix 5 is an impressive smartwatch for people serious about fitness or the outdoors, but probably both too much and too little for people expecting something like the Apple Watch.

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

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.

If you're a serious athlete that's been looking for a powerful multisport fitness watch, odds are you've stumbled across Garmin's fe?nix line of devices. While they are quite pricey, the fe?nix 3 line has proven to be one of the most powerful multisport watches on the market.

Garmin Fenix 5 review
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.
Pros:
- Incredible array of data
- Every imaginable sport
- Slimmer and lighter
Cons:
- Optical HR not the strongest
- Recovery advice a bit conservative
- Easy to accidentally pause workouts
