Review on 🍊 Renewed Garmin Fenix 5 Plus Titanium Smartwatch: Multisport GPS, Color TOPO Maps, Heart Rate Monitoring, Music & Garmin Pay - Orange by Alvaro Delic

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Was skeptical about buying refurbished but very impressed!

After reading the reviews I was skeptical about buying a refurbished version but I decided to order it anyway as I prefer to consume a used one whenever possible. I had a really good experience, my watch arrived in just 3 days although more was planned. I couldn't find anything wrong with the watch at all, I've been using it for about 2 weeks or so. Battery life is definitely not as good as the fenix 6, but I use GPS sport mode for around 60-90 minutes a day, which drains my battery. I switched from an Apple Watch but wanted the watch to be more fitness focused than a smartwatch and I would say this is the perfect watch for that. I think the Garmin software and apps aren't as smooth as the Apple Watch if you have an iPhone and I have to force sync at times, but that's not a problem for me personally. I find the sleep tracking to be fairly accurate at a high level, the amount of deep and REM sleep I'm getting according to the watch correlates to how tired I am. I found the GPS very accurate, I tested it playing golf (always right on course markers), running, walking, cycling and hiking. All in all I would have never known this watch was refurbished, it works like new and I would definitely recommend it!
