Garmin Fenix 5 Plus Sapphire ($800)
We like to see battery life on the watch face so changed to the Garmin Titanium face, one of dozens available. Pardon the sweaty watch face. It was hot on the trails here in New Hampshire!
The mighty Fenix 5 series goes Plus. This multi-sport, fully featured, rugged GPS and wrist heart rate watch series has every sport feature and performance and physiology metric imaginable. The Plus series has three significant upgrades over the original Fenix 5 series:
- All three Fenix 5 get color topo and road routable map capability on 1.2"/30.4mm displays. Previously only the Fenix 5X had color maps.
- All three get an on board music player with up to a 500 song capacity
- Garmin Pay for contactless payments is included.
