    Hi! This is an older video of mine. Watch one of my newer videos here and let me know if I've improved: ruclips.net/video/Kxsn86OyaKk/видео.html

    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.

    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!

  • @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!

    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. 👀

  • @val4utube
    @val4utube 6 лет назад +19

    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
      @val4utube Год назад

      @omarcobreros49025 year ago the price was higher.

    "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
      @jeffholthus2009 6 лет назад +1

      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.

    What you recommend fenix over Apple Series 3 ?

  • @xwayesknbent
    @xwayesknbent 6 месяцев назад

    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.

  • @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

    • @94SexyStang

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

    • @94SexyStang
      @94SexyStang 4 года назад

      Saphire version has bluetooth.....music services or MP3 player 4gb hard drive.....mine works great, signal goes really far if you use speakers.

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

  • @kenc8945
    @kenc8945 5 лет назад

    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
      @Nefrobgaltis 5 лет назад +1

      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)

    • @94SexyStang
      @94SexyStang 4 года назад +1

      updates for What???.......it's built to GO......it's not a shitty Applewatch that gets loaded with firmware every month. I NEVER updated my Fenix 5......never had an issue.

    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?

  • @d96002
    @d96002 7 лет назад +3

    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
      @Vol7age_ph 6 лет назад

  • @jeffholthus2009
    @jeffholthus2009 6 лет назад +4

    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!

    • @GYMCADDY

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

  • @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! 👍

    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
      @justindunlap1235 2 года назад

      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.

    • @GYMCADDY
      @GYMCADDY  7 лет назад

      +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

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

    • @Bjustis2222
      @Bjustis2222 7 лет назад +9

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

    • @TheRedRaven_
      @TheRedRaven_ 7 лет назад

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

    • @jeffholthus2009
      @jeffholthus2009 6 лет назад +2

      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....

  • @SpiritOfRadio1988
    @SpiritOfRadio1988 7 лет назад

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