    Bought this to replace my  watch series 4. As a watch, outdoor tool and fitness tracker this is hands down better than a  watch. Best part is not having to charge the watch daily!

    Replaced a Fenix 5x that broke (accidental damage) after 1.5 years. So far its working perfectly. Some nice little improvements from the predecessor.

    Great watch, but it is big. Its not the height, but the over footprint that is large. The price it is, to get into the Fenix line is worth it and the size starts to go away the more you wear it.

    Where do I begin? I wanted a watch that can do it ALL. This is it! I was speaking with my doctor and he informed me to monitor my stress level, heart rate, how active I am being, and so on. We then circled back after I bought this watch and informed him of all the items the FENIX Plus 5 assists me with on a daily basis. If you love to hike, and are in the outdoors, and want to keep track of your daily activities and wellness... This is the watch that can do it ALL! 100% Satisfied!
