Garmin Fenix 5X (Sapphire Edition)

sDetails

Garmin Fenix 5X (Sapphire Edition) is a high tech and top end GPS enabled and TOPO/OSM mapping supportive Smart Watch which also doubles as a full-range fitness tracker. Made up of fiber-reinforced polymer casing, this gadget features a round shaped dial which models a full color 1.2-inch Garmin Chroma always-on display with 240 x 240 pixels resolution, LED back-light and sunlight-visible color panel. Its strap is made of silicone which is water resistant just like the watch casing. The case can withstand water up to a whopping 10 ATM pressure which is at approx 100 meters of depth making this device ideal for deep sea diving as well.

The watch comes with a new function known as Training Status which provides you with an evaluation of your training by monitoring your workout regimens. This helps you understand whether you are training productively or are under-performing/over-performing. With this evaluation, you can then adjust the pace and style of your training. The gadget can also help improve your technique for exercises and activities (via Training Effect feature) by recording metrics such as cadence, stride length, ground contact time and balance, vertical oscillation and vertical ratio. It can also calculate your stress score by measuring heart rate (via wrist based heart rate sensor) when you are standing still for 3 minutes. The score is made available on a scale of 1 to 100 with lower levels indicating less stress. This vital information helps you decide when it is time to call it a day and get some rest.

Garmin Fenix 5X supports a number of sports activities including running, cycling, skiing, climbing and swimming to name a few.  You can select or switch from these built-in activity modes to make the most out of your Garmin activity tracker. When paired with your smartphone, you can easily upload all recorded data on to your phone via Garmin Connect Mobile app. Furthermore, you can get audio notifications from your smartphone as well as control music to keep yourself entertained with everything available conveniently at your wrist. Fenix 5X can record steps, calories burned, floors climbed, distance covered, speeds maintained, laps done and activity times. It can also monitor sleep so you know how many hours of deep or light sleep you have rested.
