We loved the Fenix Chronos but it was SO expensive. This is the same but costs less than half as much. But we recommend paying a bit more for the less ugly 5S...

Measure everything really well (mostly), Superb battery life

This watch is one of the very best smartwatches and fitness trackers on the market. It's designed to be worn for many days at a time and not just at the gym and when exercising. At $799 it's not cheap and so, if you're in the market for something like thi...
The watch has a premium look and feel about it, It's easy to see at glance you statistics, including you average pace, heart rate, distance travelled and time spent exercising, The only dedicated GPS watch we've looked at that has a colour screen and allo
Expensive, Doesn't have a memory where you store music files
The Garmin Fenix 5 excels as a GPS watch. Simple to use, it's accurate and fuses great fitness functions with the handy notifications of a smart watch to complete a fantastic device. It's the only GPS watch we've tested that has a colour screen too. Our o...
Amazing battery life, solid build quality, huge range of sports tracking and features, reliable performance,
Might be big for some, proprietary 22mm QuickFit bands only, screen doesn't look great
If money is no object and you have no issue dropping £500 upward on a great, modern, connected sports watch, then the Fenix 5 will surely leave you satisfied.It's got enough smartphone connected-ness about it without hogging your attention, but really exc...

Incredible array of data, Every imaginable sport, Slimmer and lighter
Optical HR not the strongest, Recovery advice a bit conservative, Easy to accidentally pause workouts
The Garmin Fenix 5 is a still a superb multisports watch, which successfully packages up every element of Garmin's incredible array of specialist devices. For those who demand the best from running, cycling, swimming, hiking and even golf it's an unbeatab...
Garmin's new smartwatches aren't for everyone. They'll only suit people who're serious about sports tracking or venture outdoors on hikes, ski trips or bike rides on a regular basis. It's not cheap, so we'd recommend looking elsewhere if GPS isn't essenti...

Physical button inputs can be confusing, Amount of data can actually confound, Connect partner app isn't the clearest, Expensive
All three watches can take a dunking down to 100m, so you can take them snorkelling and scuba diving as well as into the shower. They all play nicely with Garmin's Connect IQ smartwatch features too, putting call, text and email notifications on your wris...
