Garmin Fenix 5 Review! Love At First Sight

[@GYMCADDY]

Hi! This is an older video of mine. Watch one of my newer videos here and let me know if I've improved: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ganWn2tshN6Ugc0

[@BatistaR0X]

no worries mate, this is still good stuff 👍

[@GYMCADDY]

Making this video was a labor of love. Instead of releasing 3 videos this week i decided to focus on making one higher quality video. If you have any suggestions or video ideas please comment below. And remember to please like the video! 👍

[@riley3526]

liked and subscribed. just bought mine for a killer deal last night after having been in my cart for about a year. too excited to start using it. great video!

[@benmatthews1993]

Many thanks for posting. I've got the Fenix 5 Sapphire arriving today! A bit late as usual, for me; but I'm really looking forward to it! It'll defo be an upgrade and a half from the Forerunner 35 that I'm currently wearing. I'll let you know my thoughts in a week!

[@expectandreceive]

Such a good watch. I have the 5s and have been loving it since Day 1. For me the wrist heart rate sensor was not too accurate while I was hiking at times... will likely do the same hike with my chest strap and compare.

[@hayabusa27]

This video glorified this watch to the max, loved it!

[@rxonmymind8362]

Found a new sapphire version for $259+tax and shipping for $300 total. I think that's a fair price. Been into fitness for decades looking forward to using this watch. Take a break from charging it all the time. Looking at you Galaxy 3. 👀

[@patrickbarks997]

I've had the sapphire a few months now. No regrets.

[@val4utube]

Instead of the ridiculous company made "ninetynine-ninetynine" repeated over and over to fool customers, just stay the price as it is! 700 Dollars plus tax or 800 plus tax!

[@val4utube]

@omarcobreros49025 year ago the price was higher.

[@doubletapthat2183]

What you recommend fenix over Apple Series 3 ?

[@alfinata4834]

Enjoy your video! Clearly help and complete information!

[@lou9110]

Is it safe to swim with this watch for 2-3 days a week? Cause Fitbit charge 3 didn t last more that a month after I used it for swimming

[@xwayesknbent]

Can some of those other screens be turned off if not wanted or needed. I just want a watch with a compass on it. Don't need or want all the other screens.

[@wardoec7411]

Hey, nice video! I just have one Q: The buttons are clicky or are pushers like Casio?

[@mathewtutai4662]

Will this garmin watch play music from your wrist? To a bluetooth speaker or head phone???

[@Vencarter]

"the tracking is so precise that it even konws which side of the street i'm on" *gps shows him flying over roads and across the river in a straight line* lol, great video though!

[@jeffholthus2009]

LOL. Thought same thing. No problem with my F3 and just ordered an F5, but the plastic cased Forerunner series definitely has a better reputation for connection dependability and GPS accuracy for some folks.

[@kenc8945]

Beaitiful video... Is it worth buying even now...i.e April 2019? Sae this in the store today and thought that may be this model may be in for an update, what say you? Thanks,

[@Nefrobgaltis]

I don't know about you, but I order it a few days ago, it is the best watch garmin have to offer. If you don't wanna use it for swimming I recommend you to check forerunner 645 or the forerunner 935 which is the same sportwatch but with hard plastic and a lot cheaper)

[@geoffreylau4172]

Love your review. Thank you. Whats the wifi function on the watch for? Fenix 5 and 5s doesnt have wifi, only 5x has it?

[@樂天羊]

Best 5 review in KZbin.

[@melodyfrench9576]

Very informative thankyou, all the deets I needed to know

[@d96002]

if garmin made a watch that looks the same but with a third of the functions, less thick and cheaper i would buy it for sure

[@Vol7age_ph]

d96002 then foreruner series is for you

[@nws5998]

Lol

[@NetvoTV]

How long it last before it obsolete? It is beautiful but does fitness tracker at this price point is worth it? I'm looking for a watch that looks good and tell time at a glance at my wrist, and maybe a bit of music control function, fitness is not necessary for me as I think all the number I get from the data won't directly help me, I improve my jogging on my own way. Although I didn't own and experiences any fitness tracker yet, do you think fitness tracker make sense and useful for me?

[@Sebastian_Astudillo]

Then go for a Samsung watch?

[@chrislee6853]

Excellent review, thank you!

[@trinifires]

Garmin site says that the fenix 5 has stress tracking and rep counting. Can you add some clarity on this in your review?

[@vatsalnaik15]

Great review.!!

[@JohnAdams-rm7zm]

Did you say it will not pick up Hr if sweating?

[@GYMCADDY]

it won't pick up your heart rate in you're swimming

[@jeffholthus2009]

Cringed when you put the watch face down on a tile/marble/granite surface to plug it it. This WILL scratch the bezel If you continue!

[@anthonybotonis4541]

Hi. Great review. It seems there are so many reviews on all the fenix 5 models I've just bought a quatix 5 sapphire and can't find any quality tutorials or reviews just 1 unboxing vid. Some1 please review the quatix 5🙏🙏🙏

[@tzkons]

WHEN YOU BUY ANY GARMIN PRODUCTS!!!Know that it is their policy not to change rechargeable batteries instead they will ask to pay 1/3 of the original price to get a refurbished unit!!!

[@justindunlap1235]

That actually sounds like a better option, you would need to completely reseal and purge the casing. If you didn't it would lose its water proof rating.

[@81griffin]

Best review thanks

[@jamielebrun7740]

It's funny you don't mention that you can't replace the battery

[@Retamor2]

heard that the watch was really inacurate

[@ValentinoVitez]

Curb your enthusiasm

[@ehabal8781]

can make calls or receive calls ,reply messages ?

[@GYMCADDY]

+ehabhopi hopi you can't respond, you simply get a preview of your text. And phone calls only ring on the watch you can't talk to them like on the Apple watch. But you can answer or decline from your wrist

[@ehabal8781]

Appreciate you so much ,Gear S3 do that BUT Fenix 5X has great GPS Routable

[@FAISAL15S]

Is it good for pilots

[@HumbleD50]

Great video...Subscribed.

[@jclar3565]

If you are used to something like an Apple Watch or an Android then get ready for an ergonomic nightmare

[@sl7sos]

5 years old & still better than apple 2022 stupid watch

[@toadsprocket7598]

You reviewing a watch for sports that it doesn't seem like you participated so what value is there in your opinion

[@adit1001]

Too bad that after 5 years the watch is not good anymore. No replaceable battery available for this

[@Bjustis2222]

adit1001 really 5 years. It's tech man almost no technology is good in 5 years.

[@TheRedRaven_]

adit1001 This is actually false, you can find the battery online and replace it yourself with a few simple solders of the -/+ ribbon.

[@jeffholthus2009]

5 years battery degradation won't affect most modern LiOn electronics. It will likely still be at 80%, which for this watch still beats most out there. Whether or not Garmin will support it with updates is another story. Nobody should be buying a rechargeable connected device these days with expectation of 5+ years of service....

[@vasilis7535]

is it worth buying in 2023 or should I go for a newer model?

[@KB11-n9p]

two downgrades , battery life and not touch screen

[@BEUSA42]

7x solar is now the beast This one looks like a joke

[@ted.8631]

yeah what's it do num nuts?

[@kitchfish]

Hang on!! did you say the heart rate monitor will not work if you'r sweating!!!!!!??? So not good for a work out!! lol. (3mins 40sec into video).

[@SpiritOfRadio1988]

What about the dissapointing GPS accuracy? i mean its reaaaaly bad... so muchs so that they should recall the product.

[@TheRedRaven_]

Zoran Randjelovic haven't had a problem with mine, always get a signal and it tracks without issue.

[@idmarts1]

Just got mine for 350$$$$$$

[@prestonperson6367]

Where at?

[@baruahaleen]

What do u get when u spend $600 on a watch? Nice packaging lol

[@ted.8631]

sport watch? you know not everyone is training for the Olympics. why are all these watches made for fitness freaks?

[@SOURAVCLASHER]

Too pricy

[@NebuChadNezzarKBDN]

Need to learn how to wear a watch properly.

[@gdoktahedron3361]

Just awful watch, nothing more 👎👎

[@Ostatebuckeye11]

Didn't get to see the map on this

[@massimilianopizzagalli2956]

Dopo 2 anni i contatti della ricarica sono logori. Non lo prenderei mai più
