▬ ABOUT THIS VIDEO ▬
Garmin Fenix 5 Plus vs Apple Watch 3 (GPS Smartwatch Review 2019). In this video, Jeff covers the Apple Watch 3 vs Garmin fenix 5 plus review. Overall, Jeff thinks the Garmin fenix 5 plus multisport watch is more rugged, has better battery life and has more performance features (i.e. running dynamics, physiological measurements, performance condition, etc). The Garmin fenix 5 plus sport watches also have a native mapping system, native golf app and in-depth sleep tracking. The Apple watch 3 smartwatch, on the other hand, is much cheaper, has a cellular option and is just better in terms of smart features (i.e. notifications, widgets and applications). We’ll see which of these GPS watches land on the list for Best Smartwatch 2019 or Best Multisport Watch 2019. Thanks for watching.

From now on I will give thumbs down to any video that you have put 2019 in the name that isn't from 2019 because that feels like a scam.
I'm looking for a smart watch but I need an O2 sensor. Garmin has that and it's by far probably the best watch for serious out door activity. At 1k, I would would buy it now but I'm hung up on the idea of having phone capabilities as well and the Fenix does not have a speaker. That said, spending 1k on something I may only use 6 months is no bueno. Apple on the other hand does come with an additional sensor that was discovered and will probably get an O2 update. So I (Might) go with Apple. On another note, I did contact tech support at Garmin at the Fenix division a couple days ago to ask if the Fenix will be 5G compatible. He said he didn't know what 5G was which really pissed me off. I would have been satisfied with any other respons. I may bypass Garmin all together.
But thanks for the video, very informative!
I’m a runner. I went through two Apple Watches in two weeks. When the watch was exposed to sweat n rain it malfunctioned. It would loose everything and return to the setup screen. Returned the Apple for the Garmin. Hopefully it will be more reliable.
If you doing a Ironman or even half the Apple Watch would not even close to making it, Garmin is for people who do sport not fashion like apple
I need a watch I can download maps on..with my own P.O.I'S….without a phone…and a weeks battery life…and an always on display…I can read in sunlight.
Fenix 5x for me….
Thanks for your insight.
:–)
5:08 Holy fuck what a soy boy. My respect for you took a hike.
Came here mainly to see battery life as I'm getting a lot more into hiking – 10 days on the Garmin is so much better than 2 days on the Apple Watch. Also, it seems like the Garmin is in general better for outdoor activities which is great.
Fitbit Ionic over either of these all day long. These battery life estimates are atrocious.
Apple watch 4 or garmin fenix 5 (on sale) ??
Apple is touch screen and Garmin is button controlled; a big difference, no??
Helped me choose the Garmin Fenix 5 because of the fitness tracking. Triathlons. Thanks.
I prefer the Garmin brand simply because it's better for sports and the Apple watch has too many apps. I don't want my watch to help me procrastinate even more than my Smartphone. But you are also forgetting a big reason a user might prefer the Garmin, if they don't have an iPhone. The Apple watch sucks without an iPhone device.
And what about screen and screen readability outdoors ? Garmin looks like it’s struggling when compared to apples, can you confirm ?
I love Garmin Fenix
I know this sounds crazy, but I actually wear both watches daily!!.. (Fenix 5 & apple series 3).. And love each one because of the sight differences they both bring. If you’re a runner or into fitness tracking!. Trust me you need physical buttons on a smart watch to get exact stoppage times In the Fenix!.. but if you’re looking for way better entertainment value. And you’re casually into fitness save the money get the Apple Watch.
I would definitely get the Fenix 5 plus
You stated you have used the fenix 5 plus for 3 to 5 years it is only a couple of months old mate. I think it came out last month.
How about airpods with Fenix 5?
Apple watch all the way!! They caught my heart condition.. so I cant hop off this train any time soon
Affordable and Apple doesn't fit quite right.
I will be training for a triathlon this Fall. And I can’t really function without listening to music. What do you think I should pick? I’m currently under a limited budget. You’re probably gonna say choose the Apple Watch Series 3 but I just don’t really think it’s a serious activity tracker. WHAT TO CHOOSE! Help! ?
Your Android app says it's incompatible with my OnePlus 5T. Sad.
Great video! and I am using Fenix 1 until Fenix 5 plus and D2 Charlie as well. Just got a free Apple Watch 3 Cellular and didn't open it yet. I admit that both watch is good, and Apple watch are more on social with little bit sport and their accessory ecosystem is much much bigger and better than Garmin. However one series point is , the Apple Watch are 90% hook up to iPhone however Garmin are working good in Android and iOS as well. That's the major different point for the considerations.
Apple Watch is a total winner, you can do so much more on it and it’s more affordable
Hi, congrats for the review. I recently get on Fenix 5x Plus, in South Africa, as I am always traveling into 3 continents I would like to know if it’s possible to change the Topo Maps for the region you will be. This could be very useful because I was stressing trying to find how to do it and didn’t find it. Thank you.
Great conperasion test
Great review! I think the garmin fenix 5 plus wins it over the apple watch
Apple Watch for iPhone users, Fenix for androids
Apple watch is better..
The Apple Watch 3 because they say it's the best smartwatch in the market. I can't buy it, though.
