Fenix 5S Plus Sapphire, White with Gray Suede band

I bought and have been wearing it now for a week and love the watch. Originally I wore a Fitbit Ionic and felt it was more for some one trying to get fit. After researching and buying the Fenix 5S plus, this watch is more built for true athlete and someone into multiple sports. Great features and everything I was looking for in a watch.

Great watch performed and looked very good until it suddenly died and the screen face glitched out after 6 months of owning it. Seems like a common problem other users of the watch have experienced. Update they sent me a new one and have had zero problems over the last year

Received for Fathers day. As an avid runner this watch is great! It allows you to leave the phone at home and record everything on your run-AND listen to music. Recent trip to Florida made me glad to have my Fenix- rain came down hard and had the iphone group scrambling to keep their phones dry. Mapping and heart rate are really great features. I also really like the size of the watch.

It was my fist watch and it’s amazing. Perfect size for my small wrist, but I ended up opting for the 5 plus. None the less, watch is the cream of the crop. The only thing is it came with two original quikfit 20 bands, but some how one is slight longer. Which I prefer. The other was was a bit shot. I Just never understood why. The watch has so many amazing features that it’ll take me a while to learn all of them, but I am very please with the 5s and 5 plus. I recommend it!!

I have always been satisfied with Garmin. I tried Apple Watch for a couple of months and it did not compare. I really don't have any complains! The only feature I would like to be worked on is the sleeping feature! It would be neat to be able to manually go to sleep mode like the first Vivoactive! I usually have to find third party apps to take count of my sleep time, wake up, and sleep averages. Besides that team Garmin all the way!

First, this is a gorgeous watch. I absolutely love the look. It has a million features, of which I know how to use about two. I really wish it came with more start up information or there was a concentrated start video to get you rolling. I’m pretty much searching every time I need to do something. i know I’ll continue to love it more as my abilities with it increase.

I purchased the Fenix 5s plus about 1 week ago and I am very pleased with my purchase. I have no cons that I can think of. One pro that was a great surprise was the “set” function when doing strength training. For example, I’m doing three sets of 10 squats with only 30 seconds rest in between. The fenix will track my reps for me, I tell it when I have completed the reps, and it then starts counting my rest time. This will go on until you manually stop the activity. I’m not sure if this carries over for the other activities just yet but I’m excited to see what other useful features the watch has.

I really thought it would have a brighter display, more colorful or at least a better resolution. For what I paid I actually expected something really classy and high quality ñ this looks like a cheap knockoff of what a Garmin watch should actually be!! I have to say I’m disappointed!!

After daily use of this watch for 3 months now, I can summarize my experiences as follows: - Excellent GPS-based activity tracking features - Excellent battery endurance - Bad and wrong sleep tracking features. I can only confirm the complaints of thousands of other fenix 5 user's about GARMIN's ignorance to improve their sleep tracking of these watches. If you are only in interested in the best activity tracking watch, this is your watch. If you want a mixture of decent activity tracking and correct sleep tracking, then look elsewhere else.

Wanted to upgrade my Vivoactive for 2 reasons; battery life and the ability to drop pins on my routes. Wore my new 5s plus and it recorded 4+ miles more than both the trail sign's stated miles and my friend's Garmin 230, which was always within a tenth of a mile +/- of my Vivo. On a 20 mile hike 4+ miles is a huge margin of error. If the data my fenix provides is that off then the device is worthless to me. Additionally, the battery was at 25% after just under 7 hours of use. Changing the settings may improve battery life however leaving it at factory settings left me underwhelmed. Would love to post screen shots of the data acquired by both devices but this format doesn't seem to allow it.
