Once paired with a compatible heart rate chest strap such as the HRM-Run, you can access additional fenix 5 Sapphire metrics3. Metrics including, Stress Score to measure your actual stress level based on your heart rate variability, vertical oscillation and ratio or ground contact time and balance to make your running more efficient.
You can customise your fenix 5 Sapphire watch with free downloads from our Connect IQ store. Change your watch face, add data fields or get apps and widgets for information at a glance.
Garmin is continually working with top companies and developers to build partnerships that add even more value to your fenix multisport watch. Names such as Uber, Strava, AccuWeather and many others offer apps and enhancements that let you tailor your fenix 5 to fit your lifestyle in more ways than ever.
Each fenix 5 Sapphire guides you safely on and off the beaten path combining GPS/GLONASS positioning, advanced sensors and well known Garmin navigation features like TracBack. To provide the most accurate information the device auto-calibrates its sensors using GPS. The built-in altimeter provides elevation data to accurately monitor ascent and descent, while the thermometer and barometer can be used to predict weather changes by showing short-term trends in air pressure. The 3-axis electronic compass keeps your bearing, whether you're moving or not.
Fenix 5 Sapphire series models can support Smart Notifications when paired with a compatible device. When you receive a notification, SMS, call or email from the smartphone connected via Bluetooth, the watch slightly vibrates and allows you to view and read the info on the display.
Worn daily it tracks paces, distance and calories burned in the arc of the day to maintain a healthy lifestyle even when your not training. The motivational bar recommends when it's time to get up and take a few steps, while at night it tracks your movements during sleep monitors your sleep quality. You can then download the data via the free Garmin Connect Mobile App.
Fenix 5 Sapphire includes a built in Wi-Fi module that allows you to automatically download training sessions on Garmin Connect per and then visualize them on your smartphone or computer.
Preloaded color topographic and cycling maps make navigating easier and more intelligent. Around me function allows for a wide selection of POI's near you.
For golf lovers, over 40.000 preloaded International golf courses via Garmin connect mobile, available wherever you find yourself.
Round-trip routing options give runners and cyclists the ability to enter a distance they want to conduct and the watch will suggest appropriate courses.
The GroupTrack function allows you to recognize the exact position of your training partners during a workout whether it be a trek in the mountains, a swim or snowboarding.
