    I had never heard of garmin before until i started to run with a group of friends that are hardcore runners and really recommend the watch. Let me tell you. There’s no need to be a hardcore runner to get this watch because is so amazing and really complete. It tracks pretty much all physical activity wether you’re in the gym lifting, using the treadmill or the assault bike it tracks it. Also the battery life is insane. When i first bought it the battery lasted me a whole week!!! I’ve had the watch for about 6 months and is still pretty good i can go 4 days without charging it.

    This is my second Garmin Fenix5 I up graded to the new version Fenix 5plus this watch is one of the best fitness/gos watch money can buy. It is pricey, but is worth every penny. Way better than those other fitness watches.

    This watch is best in segment. Doesn't needs frequent charging due to optimised display. Biometric sensors are very accurate however readings can fluctuate depending upon the person.

    I final upgraded to the Titanium after having my old Fenix 5 for 2 years. I love the durability of this watch. It’s easy to use. Sapphire screen, titanium bezel and back plate, custom apps and watch faces. Love the orange band. Only down side, the bands show wear very quickly. 30 days in and it’s worn enough to see. I love the fact it’s NOT a touchscreen. Great sleep tracking. Great fitness tracker. Pretty decent smart notifications.

    It’s pricey, but a rugged stylish outdoor watch. This doesn’t have all the app related items of a Apple Watch. But with that said it has excellent health and activity tracking software on your smart phone. This is a watch you can rely on in the outdoor world and know that it is accurate and can withstand almost any conditions. After three months wearing it every day I am extremely satisfied with its performance.

    Before I purchased this watch, I watched many You Tube videos and reviews. The watch is a bit pricey so I wanted to get some info on it before buying it. So far, I am very pleased, especially with the long battery life. Glad I paid the extra $100 for the Sapphire Face because I could see myself scratching a less protective surface.

    My first time upgrading to a fitness / smart watch, and after much research I decided to bite the bullet and buy the top of the line Garmin Fenix 5 Plus. I've only had it a few weeks, but works great with Springy and love the Connect IQ Garmin technology app which allows me to customize almost everything on the watch. The GPS features are extremely accurate (within 1-2 feet). The only issue is the high price. At the time I paid $699, when realistically I think it should be closer to $499. But if you can spend the money this is well worth it.

    Still learning some of the functionality that is available however, it is easy to use, accurate, and has been great on my runs. Battery life so far has been great. Few days easily even with runs. Connects directly with Strava to track my updates on my phone app.
