Garmin Fenix 5X GPS Watch

Garmin fenix 5X GPS Watch

The Garmin fenix 5X GPS Watch is a highly versatile wearable device with the capacity to track a series of different sports with superb accuracy and features an industry-leading navigational system.

Water-rated to 100 metres, the watch has a solid construction with a stainless steel EXO-Antenna that doubles as a bezel and a forged steel back to guarantee integrity in tough environments.

The preloaded European recreational mapping is optimised for at-a-glance navigation, so you can concentrate on your activity and enjoy your surroundings to the full. Another handy feature is the Round-trip routing option, which creates a course for the selected activity of the users desired distance, perfect for runners and cyclists exploring new territory. Data overlays provide key pieces of information on the go, so the user does not have to flick between screens while active. The GroupTrack and LiveTrack features allow you to follow your friends' locations, ideal for activities like skiing and snowboarding.

The Garmin Chroma Display is always on, with a high-resolution graphic user interface that can be read at a glance for maximum ease of use. The 1.2-inch display has a transflective technology, which reflects light to make the face of the watch easier to read, while the high-quality scratch-resistant sapphire lens increases the longevity of the screen.

Monitor your heart rate with ease, thanks to the wrist-based Elevate heart rate technology. This allows for 24-hour heart rate analysis, which can provide valuable insights into performance recovery as you rest. The continuous wearing of a heart rate monitor can also provide a more accurate indication of how many calories are burnt throughout the day.

A host of key training statistics can be calculated by the performance widget, including a VO2Max Estimator, FTP and Lactate Threshold indicators, a recovery advisor and a race predictor, which estimates your likely finish time for a set distance run.

Ideal for multi-sport athletes, the fenix 5X can be calibrated to host separate profiles for Swimrun or Triathlon events, where the user can easily transition between activities at the push of a button, and timing splits are taken into account.
