A bright, high-resolution, full-color Garmin Chroma Display with LED backlighting assures great readability in all ambient conditions from harsh daylight to dim lighting.

Transflective technology that reflects and transmits light at the same time enables the watch face to become even more readable under intense sunlight. Sapphire editions feature a scratch-resistant sapphire lens and are also Wi-Fi-enabled so your watch can connect to your wireless network and automatically send activity uploads for sharing on Garmin Connect. Whether you are in the city or on the trail, an array of fenix 5X on-watch mapping and navigation features help keep you oriented and on-course at a glance.

Full-color TOPO Lite Australia & New Zealand mapping that comes preloaded map data is optimized for at-a-glance navigation and location tracking on your wrist.
Easy-to-read guidance cues provide banners on the display that show upcoming turns

Fenix 5X watch is packed with sophisticated training features to help monitor your form and performance. Enhanced readouts for Training Status and Training Effect show aerobic and anaerobic benefits of your workout, so you can see how your workouts are paying off and even compare results with your peers. The VO2 max estimator crunches data, including your running speed, beats per minute and heart rate variability to estimate the maximum volume of oxygen you can consume per minute. And other fitness metrics include recovery advisor with a recovery timer and recovery check plus a race predictor that estimates your ideal finish time based on your current VO2 max number.

Now you can go further with your running data. Garmin training features that tap into extended physiological metrics and advanced running dynamics¹ can help improve your form and overall performance. These include:

• Performance condition: After running for 6-20 minutes, fenix 5X compares your real-time condition to your average fitness levels
• Lactate threshold: Through analysis of your pace and heart rate, fenix 5X estimates the point where your muscles start to rapidly fatigue
• Cadence number of steps per minute
• Stride length shows your stride length in real time

Beyond their running functions, fenix 5 watches also offer special feature sets to help with swim training, skiing, golfing and paddle sports, including stand-up paddle boarding and rowing. For swimmers, the device tracks your distance, pace, stroke count and more. Ski/Board mode puts speed, distance, vertical drop and an automatic run counter (with Auto Pause for the lift line) and more at your fingertips. The feature set for paddle sports includes stroke count, stroke rate and even distance per stroke.

Golf mode gives you yardage to the front, back and middle of the green for any single course you have downloaded from Garmin Connect and also adds enhancements such as stat tracking (fairways hit, etc.), Green View, AutoShot detection and auto measure.
Each model in the fenix 5 series provides comprehensive navigation and tracking to guide you on and off the beaten path using GPS plus ABC (altimeter, barometer and compass) sensor capabilities. The built-in altimeter provides elevation data to accurately monitor ascent and descent, while the barometer can be used to predict weather changes by showing short-term trends in air pressure. The 3-axis electronic compass keeps your bearing, whether you are moving or not. In addition, there is an internal gyroscope to help improve position accuracy (and battery life) in UltraTrac mode as well as a thermometer to help you monitor changing weather conditions.

All fenix 5 series models can support smart notifications when paired with a compatible device. Receive emails, texts and alerts right on your watch whether you are on the trail, on the golf course or simply away from your desk. Other connected features include automatic uploads to our Garmin Connect online fitness community, live tracking and social media sharing through our free Garmin Connect and Garmin Connect Mobile applications.

Garmin is continually working with top companies and developers to build partnerships that add even more value to your fenix multisport watch.
