- In my opinion, this Fenix 5 Plus offers more features that the average fitness aficionado would ever need, and with all those features comes a fairly steep learning curve, especially for one just entering the fitness tracking world. I really like that my particular watch holds over 700 songs, even though the manual says it will hold 500 - I originally had 800 songs to import and pared the list down to about 700, so who knows, maybe it would have held 800. The Garmin Pay feature in theory is great, but I haven\'t had a chance to use it yet - everywhere I\'ve been so far while wearing it hasn\'t accepted touchless payment. The amount of stats available after a workout is staggering. I\'ve only had the watch about a month and still playing with the stats, but the mapping and workout statistics are very comprehensive for walking, running and biking - the only workouts I\'ve used with the Fenix 5 plus. GPS satellite acquisition is super fast, but the Bluetooth signal is very weak - the Fenix 5 plus pairs nicely and easily with a set of wireless earbuds, but the antenna is in the right bud, and I wear the watch on my left wrist, so terrible reception - I have to wear the right bud in my left ear to be closer to the watch - not a problem, but I would have thought the signal would be at least able to reach the other side of my body. Nice selection of watch faces and widgets through the ConnectIQ store, however the weather apps I\'ve tried so far really do not impress. If there is a way for the Garmin Fenix 5 Plus to read weather from my iPhone, I believe the issue would be fixed. Currently you have to add an API code to the weather apps, and receiving regular weather updates requires wifi and GPS readings, plus an activity is required to be started for some apps/widgets. Many more weather options with Garmin than with the Apple Watch, but the Apple Watch functions much more seamlessly. I\'ve worn an Apple Watch since the 1st edition, and am now wearing the Fenix 5 Plus every day. I would guess the biggest drawback for most is the price, at almost $400 during Prime Days - don\'t know if I would have purchased if it wasn\'t on sale - I wanted the 5X Plus or 6X, but couldn\'t justify the expense as a newcomer to the fitness training world. I have until January to return, but I believe I will stay with it.
- This watch was a problem from the beginning by shutting off by itself or in the middle of an activity, never worked right then after a year don\'t work anymore
- I purchased this Garmin fenix 5 Plus Sapphire watch on March 6th and have been wearing every day since. Over the years I have worn fitness watches from Polar, Timex Ironman, and the Whoop fitness band (which I thought was fantastic, but I couldn\'t stand the $30 monthly access fee). I have to say this this thing is the absolute BEST as it so functional for me. You can prioritize your sports and fitness activities so that you don\'t have to fumble with all of the settings to get to the ones you want.For the past two years i have been using a Garmin eTrex on my mountain bike with an ANT+ connection to an chest strap HR monitor and bluetooth to Garmin Connect & Strava integration. Being able to ditch the chest strap with the Fenix has been a total delight. There seems to be a bit of delay in my HR during workouts, but the Fenix catches up within a few seconds and its recording everything with decent accuracy. I have been running both the Fenix and eTrex simultaneously on MTB rides to evaluate the GPS accuracy, integration with Garmin Connect, and it\'s really good with no perceptible difference between the two.I feel like i have put this watch through its paces and it is so impressive on so many levels. Battery life is great particularly when you compare it to an Apple Watch (meh). I think I have been charging the Fenix once every 9 or 10 days and use the GPS for 4-6 hours a week during MTB rides and rowing. the other thing the Fenix does really well is integrate with Garmin Reach, so if you are interested in connecting your personal EPIRB to the Fenix, no problem. Get messages while you are out in your kayak, snowshoeing in the backcountry, or hiking at night. The Sapphire crystal face is holding up great with no scratches or issues.This thing is great and you won\'t be disappointed. Lastly, all of this COVID-19 quarantining has me spending way too much time in my home office and the \"Get up and Move\" reminders, steps, stair flights, etc. really let\'s you know when it\'s time to get off your fat a** and move around:) I\'m such a fan and looking forward to see how this Garmin holds up over the long term.
