Garmin pulse watches combine a unique design with fascinating functions for multi-sport training, trail running, and navigation. The Garmin pulse watches of the fenix family, which are also recommended by the Association of German mountain and ski guides, present special highlights (VDBS).
You can mainly find the different Garmin chest straps among the Garmin accessory. They offer a very high technological development, because they measure heart rate as well as running efficiency values for improving the running technique.
One of the top multisports watch from Garmin. Bought the sapphire edition. This product came with an extra band which is quite useful as you can quickly switch to a different band depending on the purpose. Inbuilt optical heart rate sensor is also working quite well. Unfortunately for swimming you have to use a chest based heart rate monitor but that is fine. Overall quite satisfied with the product.
This is great and so easy to use, once you find out how to use it!
In fact, it is so easy to use, I have felt a bit underwhelmed by it. Once you have set it up, you just choose the activity and press go, and that is it. It records everything and they you save it. Even the swim app is very straightforward.
My only criticism is with the user guides. The user guides on Garmin are for an older version of the Fenix and it took me a while to figure this out. I had to go on YouTube, and found very useful videos, and then it was plain sailing. It takes a bit of time to set up the activity apps to your settings, but once you have done that it is very easy to use. In the end I found the correct user guide only when I had connected the watch through Garmin express on my PC.
So 5 out of 5 for the watch, 1 out of five for the user guide (until you find the correct one).
