Garmin fenix 5X Plus Sapphire Black with Black Band
The fenix 5X Plus is designed to help you beat tomorrow. The major highlights for the Garmin fenix 5X Plus are the routable Australia and New Zealand Topo maps, wrist-based heart rate monitoring, Spotify and onboard music support and Garmin Pay.
This fitness watch is for the athlete looking to train smarter, work harder and beat yesterday. It’s for the adventurer looking to explore further, climb higher and find more. It’s for you.
Detailed Topographical Map Guidance at a Glance
Looking for your exact position on the Mount Tibrogargan’s hidden trail? The fenix 5X Plus’ topo maps have got you covered. The Topo maps are preloaded onto your watch and cover all of Australia and New Zealand.
This new fenix iteration also comes with Trendline Routing which, based on your location and desired run distance, will automatically generate a popular route for you.
Music Support
Take all your favourite tunes with you on just your watch. Listen to your favourite Spotify Playlists offline. Set up your custom playlists via Garmin Connect which will allow you to import standard ‘music’ and other audio files.
Fitness Metrics
This fitness watch is designed for athletes and adventurers looking to push themselves further. You can track physiological metrics and running metrics to understand, track and improve your performance.
It can identify the anaerobic training effect to measure the impact your training is having and whether you should be pushing more or resting to recover properly.
The fenix 5x Plus also boasts advanced sleep tracking features to make sure you’re getting the most out of your sleep and understand the differences between your sleep phases (light, deep and REM). This
data is all gathered from the advanced optical Heart Rate sensor on the back of the watch.
Detailed Activity Performance Tracking
This watch is designed to accommodate as many sports as possible including:
- Fitness and Strength profiles
- Multiple running activities
- Golfing
- Outdoor recreation profiles
- Swimming activities
- Cycling
To view the full range of supported activities, check out our Specs page. If you’re looking for more, or your sport is not listed, you can check out Garmin Connect which allows you to add third-party activity widgets to cover almost every activity and tracking metric you would like.
Pulse Ox and ClimbPro
The fenix 5X Plus has a feature unique to only the X models with Pulse Oximetry. The Pulse Oximetry, or Pulse Ox, will keep track of your body’s oxygen saturation levels. This is particularly useful
when using the ClimbPro app for high-intensity climbs. The Pulse Ox acclimation sensor will gauge the absorption of haemoglobin in your bloodstream and will help guide you on how your body is adjusting
to the thinner air at higher altitudes.
Battery
The fenix 5X Plus battery is unique, depending on your watch mode you can extend the watch life per charge significantly. Running your watch in smartwatch mode (phone notifications, weather, time)
can last up to 20 days. Running with full GPS functionality will last 32 hours. When running both GPS and Music, you can expect up to 13 hours. Finally, you have UltraTrac mode that will last up to 70 hours.
