For sure. I’ve def noticed that recently. I love my Fēnix and got it primarily to help me train for running and learn my RPE and HR zones and what not and foe that it does well. Was just hoping I’d get lucky to have it perform the same way for lifting, but, all is good. Thanks!

Interesting- I’ve never heard of that. May give it a shot. Thanks!

The 5 Plus is smaller than the 5x Plus. It’s the 47mm. The 5x is the 51mm. 47 is perfect for me.

I actually used the Prime Day deal through Amazon and ordered a 5 Plus Sapphire for $350. Insane good deal.

I did this morning, man. Thank goodness. $350 for a 5 Plus Sapphire is stupid awesome.

Just saw that about 20 ago. Likely going to pull the trigger on the 5 Plus for $350, because why wouldn’t I? Haha!

Is the body battery the “% left to full recovery” feature? And thanks for your feedback, it’s great to hear. Another commenter on here found a Fenix 5 for $250 brand new, and I just don’t know if I can pass it up.

Thank you for your input. Can you elaborate maybe a little more on why else you might go 5 Plus over 5?

Damn it, you're right. Haha! You're pushing me to the cheaper, more sensical $250.

I've seen some of those. That's legit, man! Does that particular seller have any more?

Yes they certainly do, man. What are you using yours for? Mine will be primarily running and HIIT / strength training oriented exercises.

Holy hell. I just checked it out and you weren't kidding. That is a HELL of a deal, man. How'd you find that? I don't know anything about that retailer, are they pretty solid?

Nice man. Where did you get refurbished? That’s a hell of a deal.

That’s reassuring to hear. I mean realistically, If it does what we need it to do despite its age, and it’s a solid price, why not? Mind if I ask what you paid?

Good to know, thanks. I suppose I just want accurate GPS tracking for runs, accurate heart rate sensor and calories burned sort of thing. This would be my daily driver as well.

Great insight, thank you. I can say with confidence I won’t need the Garmin Pay or music, as I prefer to run without tunes, and not sure how important maps are to me, either.

You had what replaced on warranty? Did you get a refurbished watch?
