Review on Garmin Fenix 5S - Silver With Black Band (Renewed) by Steve Harris

Revainrating 5 out of 5

UPDATED Purchase: Would I Buy Again! The highest quality outdoor watch you could ever buy.

I've had it for a few days, everything's great! This product is amazing! Also, since this is a refurbished item, you get a 50% discount! (The price for a new one is $600-700). Excellent price. As this is a refurbished item it is in near PERFECT condition. I definitely recommend buying refurbished items. It only had a very small scratch on the bezel. Besides, well! You can rely on this review to get the best bang for your buck. The battery corresponds to the nominal capacity! Note: The watch gets almost 2 weeks of battery life with minimal use (you won't get two weeks if you exercise a lot). Just like a computer, the more you use the GPS and other features of the watch, the more drained the 230mAh battery will be. I can get notifications (texts, emails!) and read them from the watch! You can prepare automatic replies to reply to. I used to think of metal strap but plastic is perfect! It stretches slightly so you can hold the watch tightly without feeling like a boa constrictor. This watch is very well designed. Barometer, altimeter, temperature sensor, pedometer, compass, etc. work great! Note: the temperature drops a few degrees (plus or minus 5-6 degrees) due to body heat. If you want more accurate readings, Garmin recommends taking it off and putting it somewhere for about a minute. And now the TOPO map. Navigating the map is very intuitive! I love that I can use this on my watch.

Pros
  • GPS, viewfinder and accessories
Cons
  • I'll write later
