About this deal

Much of the other interest in this section comes with what other sensors can be paired TO the Fenix 5S Plus. But the main thing to note is that the earlier non-Plus version of the Fenix 5 had CONNECTIVITY PROBLEMS. These are now resolved with the Plus series. ie don’t think that you will get a few less features by going for the non-Plus version…that’s true but you will also get stuff that doesn’t work. GET THE 5 PLUS NOT THE 5 non-PLUS Headphones For ME PERSONALLY, I find Garmin’s ELEVATE and Polar’s 6-LED sensors give ME the best results on the wrist. But neither are good enough for my precise HR-recording needs; I use HR to determine my training load. So I always either rely on a chest strap ( HRM-TRI) or, occasionally, an optical sensor on an armband ( Wahoo, Polar, Scosche/Valencell).

Fixed an issue where the device might crash when calculating a route for activity type ATV/Off Road. The Garmin Fenix 5S PLUS is a PROPER sports watch, it’s even one of the very few PROPER triathlon watches. If you are an ‘International’ Age Grouptriathlete then I would recommend it to you. If you RUN with MUSIC, I would recommend it to you over the Forerunner 645 MUSIC or VIVOACTIVE 3 MUSIC. Indeed it’s probably even better than Garmin’s ‘best’ running watch ie better than the Forerunner 645 Music. Why You Would NOT Buy The Fenix 5S Plus Fixed an issue where certain sets edited during a rep counting workout were not getting saved as expected. Openwater and pool swim profiles are both available with stroke detection. Openwater has GPS enabled and you can set a custom pool length when using a pool. If you use an outdoor pool you use pool mode. Bluetooth enables a smart connection to Garmin Connect Mobile on your smartphone and then to upload workout data – but also to receive call and app notifications from the smartphone. Many other smart features exist, such as music control for the music on your smartphone and pre-canned answers to SMS messages.Similarly, for all its flaws, heart-rate based training is used by a VERY LARGE number of people across many sports. I use heart rate a lot and I am mostly aware of all its accuracies. However one thing I’m mildly concerned about is that many people are probably using optical heart rate and blindly assuming that it’s always correct. It isn’t. Take-out: Sweet. But will Galileo be dual-band and will it bring big improvements? Garmin Fenix 5S Plus

Do you have losslessly compressed, high-definition audio files in the relatively common .FLAC format? Well, you can’t use those either. #OhDear. But you can use all of these; mp3, m4a, aac, adts, wav, m3u, m3u8, wpl, zpl and pls. That’s not too bad I suppose. You can play a pre-loaded playlist but you can’t create one on the watch or in Garmin Express. NOTE: If you revert to an older version of software, all of your settings will be reset to defaults.

Necessita de uma atualização de mapas?

Those of you who have more than one Garmin device will notice that your PRs/PBs and some other physiological recordings are starting to be synchronised across the Garmin ecosystem using Physio TrueUp on supported devices – of which the 5S Plus is one. Accuracy So with all that in mind. Let’s look a bit more at the accuracy of GNSS/GPS/GALILEO, heart rate and elevation/altitude. GPS Accuracy – GLONASS, GALILEO and GNSS Functions Note that for unsupported watches there is a hail-mary option, which is DWMap. This works on a slew of newish watches that don’t support maps (like the FR645, FR735XT, and FR935, among a number of others). It’s not a perfect mapping replacement per se, but it’s definitely a solid option when there’s nothing natively. It’s also won Garmin’s Connect IQ app of the year award as well, so nothing sketchy about it at all! Full details here.

Full details not yet known for the larger 5X model. I will update this with info from comments, below Fixed an issue where the device would report an incorrect battery percentage after unplugging from external power. Fixed an intermittent issue where the device could switch to high power mode, and search for GPS and other ANT/BT sensors while playing music outside of an activity. Other than for indoor usage almost everyone will only need a cadence sensor. Getting your speed & distance from GPS will be mostly fine. External Heart RateFixed an issue where the user could not start navigating a recent activity from the App options menu. UltraTrac mode (mentioned above) – records stuff less frequently. This is different to SMART recording which records only changed data ie maintaining full data quality (in theory)

Your workout data can be recorded every second or ‘smartly’. SMART (default) seems to mean that something is only recorded when some data changes eg speed, cadence, direction. I’d change this to record every second. Fenix ​​5 plus Sapphire titanium with orange silicone strap (ring and bottom are in titanium) euro 849 It looks like there is NOT a new Forerunner 935plus. Although note that you can pair a 935 to BLE headphones…you might ask “Why would that be?”Many smartwatch buyers initially want 24×7 heart rate (which you have) and VO2max data but very soon the Firstbeat algorithms deliver you VERY MUCH more insight into what is going on in your body from a sporting perspective. Firstbeat – Firstbeat physiological algorithms are integrated into the Garmin ecosystem. That means both on the watch and on the Garmin Connect software on your smartphone and on the web. If you don’t know exactly what it is already then it almost certainly will be of no use to you whatsoever. However there is a new version of each of the regular Fenix 5 line ie the Fenix 5S plus, the Fenix 5X plus and the Fenix 5 plus. I’ve only seen very little info about the 5X plus and that could possibly not happen.
