It may not look like it on the surface, but Garmin's new Fenix 5 Plus fitness watches are quite different from last year's models. Yes, they still have a design that tries to mesh sport and style as seamlessly as possible, but inside the 5S, 5, and 5X Plus models have much-needed new features.

Attractive design with case size options for all wrists; Long battery life; Plethora of activities to track that monitor just as many fitness metrics; New onboard maps let you navigate without your phone; Newly added Garmin Pay and music storage; Optional pulse oximeter will appeal to hikers and...

Automatic exercise recognition needs improvement; Pulse Ox sensor only available on 5X Plus; Connect IQ store doesn't have many non-fitness apps; No LTE option; Can be incredibly expensive

It has multiple functions so still learning how everything works.

I am disappointing in this watch, especially for the price. I waited until it went on sale, but still paid almost $700. Pros: 1) Quickly connects to GPS 2) Accurate GPS 3) Some people have issues with the heart rate, but I haven't had any, my heart rate measures pretty accurately, on a run, during...

If you're an avid runner, rider or multi-sport enthusiast there's really high odds you have a Garmin device or two at your disposal already. We've been lucky enough to get a good look at a number of Garmin devices in the last 12 months, but the Fenix 5S Plus takes a huge leap beyond ordinary...

Item is superb, battery life is awesome and so many features of use. John Lewis click and collect works as seamlessly as my new Garmin device. Despite some negative reviews elsewhere the screen is clear and easily readable in sunlight. Strap is comfortable and strong.
