Review on ๐Ÿ“Ÿ Garmin fฤ“nix 5X: Premium Multisport GPS Smartwatch with Topo U.S. Mapping - Slate Gray (Renewed) by Steve Douglas

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ditched Apple Watch in favor of Garmin

I initially chose the Apple Watch because I thought it was too big and thought texting from my phone would be cool . I found the Fenix X5 to be a better fit for my active lifestyle. The battery doesn't drain as quickly (lasts a couple of days) and tracks my runs and heart rate better than the Apple Watch. The GPS is amazing, it's not as fragile (I broke a few apple watches at the gym and at work) nor as bulky as I thought it would be and best of all I still get all my social Media notifications and text previews. . It took me a few days to get used to the buttons, I tapped the screen a few times.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Communication with seller
