Garmin Fenix 5 Series Is Now Available For Pre-Order On Amazon
Garmin has unveiled their latest edition of the Fenix series dubbed the Fenix 5 series, blending some of the most detailed metrics just into a single device. The new Fenix 5 series come out with training software for cycling, running, triathlons, swimming, hiking, skiing, paddling, climbing, golf and fitness. The Fenix 5 series makes better use of Garmin Connect IQ to become a more personalised, and wide-ranging sports smartwatch.

All the Fenix 5 series models are 100m water-resistant and also have a QuickFit interchangeable watch band system which let users change between formal leather or metal bands to silicone bands.
