Garmin today announced fēnix 5 series of multisport GPS watches – 5, 5S and 5X with Elevate wrist heart rate technology that lets you monitor your heart rate without wearing a chest strap. In addition to counting steps and monitoring sleep, these watches use heart rate to provide calories burned information and quantify the intensity of your fitness activities.
The fēnix 5S is lighter, sleeker and smaller than previous models – perfect for small wrists without sacrificing multisport functionality and is targeted at female adventurers. The fēnix 5X has preloaded wrist-based mapping; and the compact fēnix 5, like other fēnix watches.
These fēnix 5 models are water resistant up to 100 meters, have stainless steel bezel, buttons and rear case. The fēnix 5 can get up to two weeks of battery life in smartwatch mode and 24 hours in GPS mode. The fēnix 5X can get up to 12 days of battery life in smartwatch mode and 20 hours in GPS mode. The fēnix 5S can get up to eight days in smartwatch mode and up to 13 hours in GPS mode.
