Description The Garmin Fenix 5 Sapphire GPS Watch delivers advanced fitness features for multisport athletes in a striking design. With interchangeable bands and customizable faces, this watch transitions from the workplace to a workout easily.
Loaded inside the Garmin Fenix 5 Sapphire GPS watch is the Elevate wrist-based heart rate monitor, GPS and GLONASS satellite compatibility, connectivity for Bluetooth devices, WiFi connectivity for wireless data transmission, and a 3-axis compass with gyroscope. The Sapphire glass screen is nearly twice as hard as glass, meaning it'll stand up to the most rugged outdoors activity without showing it. Boasting an increased battery life of up to 24 hours in GPS tracking mode or one week in standby, the Fenix is ready to go on any adventure no matter how short or long.
The 42mm face of the watch boasts a bright, backlit 64 color 218x218 pixel display that's easy to read in all light conditions. The customizable face allows for complete control over virtually every element, from data fields to colors and even the Fenix logo. And that's before getting into the Connect IQ service to download a 3rd party watch face.
The Fenix 5 Sapphire GPS comes in 3 different sizes: this smaller 42mm Fenix 5S Sapphire, the 47mm Fenix 5 , and the larger 52mm Fenix 5X Sapphire watch.

greatest watch I've owned to date!
I was on vacation when I got this watch. I had a fitbit that wasn't waterproof and I may have intentionally wore it in the ocean to break so I could get this one. It is waterproof and so much more! I use it daily to track my workouts. It sinks w my MYZONE chest strap for my workouts as well. My husband is jelouse that I have a better watch than him and I'm sure will be ordering a new Fenix soon.

Fantastic GPS HR watch...all the bells and whistles paired with Style with a capital S
This is an incredible watch with all the bells and whistles...plus it's stylish enough to wear every day!
I primarily use the watch for swimming in a pool, trail running, mountain biking, alpine skiing, road biking, etc. It has been an awesome training partner!
I decided on this watch after reading this review httpswww.dcrainmaker.com201703garmin-fenix5-5s-5x-review.html
Plus...Bike Tires Direct has amazing customer service. I will definitely purchasing more gear from them soon!

Amazing
Perfect for tri training. It inaccurately counts my swim laps in the pool- and doesnt include kick laps, but other than that its been great!

Everything I expected
Easy to use, easy to find info online. Easy instructions. The heart rate monitor is, as expected, not very accurate, but this was was in all the reviews I read. I just linked it to my heart rate strap... works great!
