Deceptive Appearance
Underneath the facade of an ordinary-looking watch is the Garmin Smartwatch, which is as extensive as a smartphone with a heart rate monitor and loads of other useful technology. The Garmin Fenix 5S is equipped with a sensitive GPS/GLONASS receiver and a new steel EXO antenna located around a Chrome colour display. It stays on at all times. During normal use, the watch will remain charged up to 9 days.
Monitor Daily Activities
The Fenix 5S offers the possibility of monitoring all-day activities. It is possible to set a target number of steps per day, to watch the total distance + number of steps, and see the number of calories burned (including passive calories). On the web interface of Garmin Connect you can monitor your progress with a detailed performance evaluation report.
Appearance and Design
The Garmin Fenix 5S offers a large, circular, colour display. Unlike other smart watches the Fenix 5S maintains perfect readability in sunlight. Using the free application on your mobile phone, you can customize your watch's background.
Training Functions
Fenix 5S watches are among the best at offering a wide range of training functions. This includes a different alarm setting for heartbeat, tempo, speed, distance, and power. It is also possible to use ready-made training plans for running or cycling.
Swimming and Skiing
The Garmin Fenix 5S has built-in sensors and high resistance to water so you can measure swimming workouts. The pool watch measures distance in its position, SWOLF value, efficiency, number of strokes and can even recognize swimming style. For winter sports enthusiasts the Fenix 5S has cross-country and downhill skiing features. With its built-in barometer it detects when you're skiing and when you move to lift.
Wireless Connectivity
The Fenix 5S offers options to connect to Android and iOS mobile devices via Bluetooth. Your watch is then able to send notifications to your phone. Thanks to built-in WiFi you can send data about training or update software without having to switch on your computer or mobile phone. ANT+ wireless standard is used mainly for connecting to fitness accessories.
