▬ ABOUT THIS VIDEO ▬
Garmin fenix 5 Review! I did a full Garmin fenix 3 HR review last year (and before that a Garmin fenix 3 review) and was all about the Garmin fenix 3 sapphire, although I also owned the standard one. I did think it was kind of funny that Garmin skipped the Garmin fenix 4, but it’s not like it really matters what the name is. In any case, I do think it will end up on the top of the list for Best GPS Watch Watch 2019 and Best GPS Running Watch 2019. The big new things with the fenix 5 are a slightly more high resolution display, QuickFit bands, a reduced HRM nub, improved battery life, and additional training features (Training Status, Training Load, etc.). Also, it’s a smaller casing that’s lighter, although I don’t know that it’s any more or less comfortable. In any case, it for sure is on the mind of people for Best GPS Watch for Triathlons and Best GPS Watch for Marathons. There are for sure some missing features (native storage for music) and I hate the price point, but the build quality is great and I really like its smart features and activity/sleep tracking capabilities. At the end of the day, this is a sweet Garmin watch. I have actually reviewed or tested darn near every modern-day Garmin running watch like the Garmin Forerunner series (ex. Garmin Forerunner 935 or Forerunner 235). We are still compiling our list for the Best GPS Sportwatch 2019 and Best Fitness Watch 2019, but it would be hard to imagine that we leave this one off despite it’s crazy price tag. You can watch the video for more details and also stay tuned for our Garmin fenix 5X review!

Hi
is it true that fenix 5 has a problem with gps?
Is it always on display? I want to see the time without having to shake my wrist
First 1 week it will be awesome … next week ok… and next week burden….
2019 from 2017? Loser.
Really appreciate your reviews. I am trying to decide what fitness tracker to get. I mostly do light trail runs and boot camps.
For fenix 5, which color u guys prefer? Slate grey or Black?
$500 plus… OMG… I can see why they had a price drop…
just buy a Ticwatch Pro for £200… great gps had np with mine for 6 months – MTB
Just got a used Fenix 5 sapphire on eBay 318$. Look for the deals they are around!!!
best GPS watch? what are you smoking?
where can i find the Garmin fenix 5 in Minneapolis Minnesota USA i want to Buy it for my brother But my brother want the one with military time.
WTF "Best Watch of 2019" but video uploaded in 2017… Also the guy keep saying it is overpriced, still very bulky, heavy, barely any better than the HR3, overall it just seem like far from being the best watch and just not worth it at all.
Hell… I've found someone this week that has a brand new unit that I could buy for just 50% and no taxes, yet I still feel like it's not even worth it. I know it would really annoy me to constantly wear such a huge thing on my wrist. Removing my (VivoSmart HR+) already feels so good and it's way smaller already. At 650-680$CAD it should already come built-in with the Saphire Glass + Wifi. My "cheap" Vivo even has Bluetooth and is 3x less.
honestly im new to smart watches / heart rate monitors and im pretty disappointed with all this bullshit watch can do after spending my money on it. I pretty much use mine to track my workouts and I like to use it on my endurance dirt bike rides , could anyone recommend a watch with better outdoor features that isn't stupidly expensive not like ill have the money for one soon but anyway haha.
Not as good as Apple series 4
Hello Jeff, I like your work. The only way I can keep up with what's out there.
WRT to shopping for a fitness watch, yes comparisons are great to appreciate the differences. Though is there something that does everything? Probably not. Meaning, fitness functions or smart watch functions.
The Samsung Galaxy Watch is a great smart watch for calls and monitoring your day or messages, etc, though you can only swim in the pool with 50' pressure capacity and not as detailed fitness functions as the Fenix 5 Plus. The plus is rated at 100' or swimming in the sea for open water training. I can't read where its smart watch functions are detailed. I know it doesn't take calls or can you read messages without looking at your mobile.
I've yet to wade through the Suunto range to compare. Might I ask if you can mention water use capacity for future reviews please. These things are too expensive to learn after the fact. Also daily use, do I have to own two or three watches and change before and after the gym or exercising to continue my day! I know first world problems, but this is the busy life, as you would appreciate, in which we live now.
Thank you
The Best GPS Watch 2019! << video published in 2017
Looks nice for tracking my cicling activity, but for activity tracking I can't sleep with bands, watches, bracelets etc, neither using the keyboard or mouse. I have an very old Polar watch for triathlon (S725x) and this watch looks like a nice replacement.
Does the Fenix 5 measure pulse oximetry for oxygen levels at high altitude?
It’s junk.
hi, can you do a review on the Garmin Descent MK1?
Who knows how and where to download the dial with fenix 5 plus, for installation on fenix 5? In Connect IQ it is not, it is installed by default in the new model 5 plus.
Ill stick to my ticwatch pro
I disagree. It’s ugly compared to the cleaner looking smart watches out their.
Hi, I would like to know which the watch are the best between Polar Vantage V or Garmin Fenix 5X plus. Thank you for own opinions.
no touch screen or stand alone music player and 500.00?? no ty
I'm confused. Does the heart rate monitor not work when you are just resting or out and about?
Can bluetooth headphones and the garmin hr strap be connected at the same ?
What kind of drone do you use for aerial shots?
If i have a question. Can i ask?
I am looking for a watch, but dont know what to buy, i need help
jeff you you you grrrrrr you made me spend 849 euro and now i am a happy man with my fenix 5 plus damn thanx allot for helping with review you made me take it and i just love it i am a fireman that cant work no more @5 morphine injections a day but this thing and your reviews make me want to train to walk better again so i love it ,so you can use it also as a great revalidating watch i use the steps and hr zone (may not go above 145) but wow this is a great peace and it made me sell my apple watch in a beat. anyway thanks and keep up your great vidz
I have the watch and one activity that it tracs that you missed was Masturbating
Srsly who Doug ?
Yeah fuk thoes little starving kiddies I simply must have this $600 dollar watch I don't need.
Also thumbs down for saying heck.
Hello. Nice and honest review. Some People have issues with the GPS of fenix 5. I was up to buy fenix 5 and I have to say that after I read these comments I got I little but confused. Can you help? The GPS is working properly? Thanks.
Hi Riz! I recently upgraded to the Fenix 5 Saphire. I get awesome battery life with it. I charged it full the day that I got the watch and only 23 days later. I wear the watch everyday and in the time I also did two trail runs so I thinks it's quite amazing battery life.
Would you possibly be able to do a video on the golf tracking function? how to use it, etc?
Thanks for all the awesome videos and info. I bought my watch based on watching your reviews. The Garmin Fenix 5 plus series was just a little bit too expensive for my budget. Also, what HRM bands are compatible with the Fenix 5?
