Review on Garmin Fenix 5 Plus Sapphire Smartwatch with Wi-Fi, NFC - Black by Aze Haha ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The item is ok but not fully compliant with the description.

I use it with Galaxy s9 and honor flypods. Purchased to replace Galaxy watch. The main reason for the replacement is the incorrect operation of the heart rate monitor (especially during rain), as well as errors when working with Samsung pay, the inability to connect a third-party heart rate sensor. At the same time I used Gear s3 classic, I did not notice such shortcomings, except for the possibility of connecting a heart rate sensor. Most of the functions in the watch work correctly. The screen of the device differs for the worse in comparison with modern watches, especially touching the need to press the button to turn on the backlight of the screen. The main use case for jogging and a horizontal bar with music from the watch via bluetooth headphones. I often use the payment system. In the first days of operation, I encountered the fact that the sound level in the headphones is not adjustable, it is always maximum. For a week of dancing with a tambourine to the tune of Garmin support, I ated the firmware of the headphone clock, reset both devices countless times, but the problem did not go away. Garmin support representatives advised me to change the headphones and this closed my application. Headphones work without problems with Gear watch, Galaxy watch 3, Galaxy s9, windows 10 laptop, TV, but not with Garmin. Yesterday they fell off the smartphone and did not connect in any way, reset it to factory settings, reinstalled the Garmin connect application and voila connected. After that, I can’t add cards to the wallet, after choosing the mastercard payment system, a running man appears and then a black screen and that’s it. Garmin what artist are you so special for that kind of money?

Pros
  • Clear work of all functions, except for working with headphones.
Cons
  • Not compatible with all bluetooth headphones Price Support Screen
