The Fenix 5 Plus is an athlete's and weekend warrior's dream. The ability to track nearly every metric possible is great to have and gives the layman the ability to learn more their fitness and gives the knowledgeable athlete everything they need. The altimeter is a little off at times and I've had a little difficulty connecting to headphones at times. For me, having the maps and music make it a worth-while purchase over the Fenix 5.

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 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.
