Looking for a gift that will wow this season? The GARMIN fenix 5 is the top gift for the multisport athlete and ultrarunner. For runners who need a watch with a long battery life and advanced adventure features like a compass and barometric altimeter, this watch has everything! And for a smaller watch face, check out the GARMIN fenix 5s.
These days, it’s hard to remember just what it felt like to run wearing a plain chrono watch. You either guessed at the distance, or you knew it already because you’d driven it, calculated it on MapMyRun, or even walked it with a wheel. While some purists still argue that those were the good ol’ days, we’re thankful for the advent of the GPS watch. It’s now easier than ever to track everything from miles to steps, heart rate to sleep, and even—with some watches—pay for our groceries.
For our first-ever fall GARMIN roundup, we put the newest GPS watches through the paces. Whether you’re looking to run a 5K or 100 miles, track your sleep, or even have fun with your kid’s chores, there’s a watch for you
For the multisport athlete and ultrarunner who needs a watch with a long battery life and advanced adventure features like a compass and barometric altimeter.
Garmin fenix 5
STAND OUT FEATURES
Um, everything.
The Fenix 5 has all the things. First, there’s the three-axis compass with a gyroscope and barometric altimeter, not to mention near perfect location tracking thanks to a tie-in with the Global Navigation Satellite System. … And we haven’t even mentioned the endless customization, fitness tracking, and analytics like heart rate, or the interchangeable bands, smartphone connection, or custom apps and watch faces. You get the picture. This is the kitchen sink of all watches.
Durability
It’s a watch for adventure. The industrial design withstands the kind of beating that comes with long days in the wilderness whether we’re running, trekking, skiing, paddle boarding, or even playing golf (yes, golf).
Battery Life
While we didn’t go on any extended treks, we love that with this watch we can. The extended battery life should last 24 hours in GPS mode, 60 hours in “UltraTrac battery saver mode,” and two weeks in smartwatch mode. Two weeks!
