Garmin just unveiled a new series of $700 smartwatches for serious athletes - here's what they can do

Jun 18, 2018, 22:37 IST

Here's Garmin's Fenix 5 Plus series: the Fenix 5S Plus, the Fenix 5X Plus, and the Fenix 5 Plus.

The Fenix 5S Plus, with a 42 mm case, is the smallest of the three watches.

The Fenix 5S Plus comes in silver, black, and rose gold.

The rose gold version is pricier than the black or silver. Those versions start at $800, while the rose gold option starts at $850.

But if you're willing to sacrifice the scratch-resistant sapphire lens, you can get the silver Fenix 5S Plus — and the Fenix 5 Plus — for $700.

Garmin says the Fenix 5S Plus will get up to seven days of battery life in smartwatch mode, but only about four hours of battery life in GPS and music mode.

The Fenix 5 Plus is the mid-size watch. It has a 47 mm case and comes in black, carbon gray, and titanium.

The Fenix 5 Plus starts at $800, but the carbon gray titanium version is pricier — it starts at $1,100.

Garmin says the Fenix 5 Plus will get about 10 days of battery life in smartwatch mode, and closer to eight hours if you're using GPS and music.

The largest watch, the Fenix 5X Plus, comes in black and carbon gray titanium.

The Fenix 5X Plus has the best battery life of the three watches. It can get up to 20 days in smartwatch mode and 13 hours when you're using GPS and music.

The Fenix 5X Plus is the first Garmin wearable to have a pulse oximeter built in. The sensor measures blood oxygen saturation levels, which is perfect for high altitude activities.
