Stylish design, extreme performance
Not all athletes have the same wrists, and that's why we designed the fēnix 5S. Its 42mm diameter is optimized to allow people with slim wrists to comfortably enjoy all of the fēnix's sports features. The athletic and elegantly designed fēnix 5S incorporates a stainless steel EXO antenna to its bezel and has a forged steel back case designed for optimal performance even in the harshest environments (water resistant to 100 meters). The fēnix 5S fits the demands of your activity as well as your style.
Perfect visibility
The high-resolution, always-on color display, Garmin Chroma Display™, ensures optimal readability at all times. The fēnix 5S's display features transflective technology that reflects and transmits light at the same time to increase the readability of the dial, even in direct sunlight. To ensure you stand the test of time, the fēnix S5 Sapphire sports watches have a quality, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
Heart rate on the wrist1
With Garmin Elevate™ wrist heart rate technology built into all fēnix 5 models, no more textile heart rate belt. The new Garmin Elevate sensor built into your watch lets you check your workout intensity at any time. You can track your daily activities with continuous heart rate monitoring and get more accurate information on the number of calories burned during the day.
Make a style statement with interchangeable QuickFit™ wristbands.
Our selection of QuickFit bands in leather, metal or silicone makes it easy to match your watch to your sports or everyday wear. Plus, these bands install without tools in seconds. Change your look in a flash.
All the key information about your workouts
Are you looking to make progress? Do you train relentlessly? To help you track your training level and increase the effectiveness of your workouts, the new Performance widget on your fēnix 5S brings all the information you need together in one place.
- Training status: measures the effectiveness of your workout, analyzes what you're getting out of it, and shows your progress.
- Training load: shows your training level over a set period of time, regardless of your activity.
- Training load: shows your training level over a set period of time, regardless of your activity.
- Recovery aid: includes a timer that determines how much recovery time is needed and tells you how much time is left.
More advanced indicators, such as Functional Power Threshold (FTP) and Lactic Threshold, help you assess your performance level during a running or cycling session, while the Race Predictor estimates the ideal time you should achieve for a 5K, 10K, half-marathon and marathon race, based on your current VO2 maximum. Training Effect 2.0 provides aerobic and anaerobic impact scores for each training session to help you evaluate the effectiveness of your workouts.
Pick up the pace
With your running data, you can now take your training to the next level. Training features Garmin that take advantage of physiological metrics and Running Dynamics1 (stride analysis) can help you improve your fitness and performance. These metrics include a feature that compares your current fitness to your average fitness, running cadence and stride length. Treat every run as a challenge, compete against other runners on Strava Live Segments, get alerts at the start and end of segments, view leaderboards, and compare your results to your personal bests.
Once your watch is paired with a compatible textile heart rate belt like the HRM-Run™, you can take advantage of additional metrics3 designed to improve the efficiency of your running technique, such as effort score, which measures your level of exertion based on your heart rate, vertical oscillation and vertical ratio, as well as ground contact time and right leg, left leg balance.
Get some height
The fēnix 5S includes pre-loaded features that will make all the difference during your excursions. The automatic climb/run toggle lets you get the right metrics for each environment: opt for pace and distance when you're running flat, then automatically switch to cumulative climb and vertical speed when the road starts to climb. For long-distance runners, the fēnix 5S offers a special new mode, UltraTrac®* mode with gyroscope, to extend tracking for up to 40 hours.
A multi-talented partner
The fēnix 5S is the perfect partner for all athletes who play multiple sports. You can choose between activity profiles for running and swimming or for triathlon, swim and run and if needed, you can create a multi-sport training profile tailored to your regular training schedule or races. Switch from one activity to another at the touch of a button, and all your intervals will be taken into account.
The watch for all sports
In addition to the running features, the fēnix 5 watches include features specifically designed for cycling, swimming, skiing, golf and paddle sports, including stand up paddle and rowing. The fēnix 5S measures speed, distance as well as all other cycling data when paired with a power sensor. For swimmers, the watch records their distance, number of strokes and more. The ski mode gives you quick access to speed, distance, elevation gain and an automatic downhill counter. The paddle sports feature set lets you record the number of strokes, stroke frequency and distance traveled on each stroke. Golf mode shows you the distance to the start, middle and back of the green for each course uploaded to Garmin Connect and offers you tracking of your stats (shots hitting the fairway, etc.), a detailed view of the green, AutoShot detection function, etc.
Explore the world your way
The fēnix 5S guides you on and off the beaten path with combined GPS and GLONASS satellite positioning systems, advanced sensors and popular Garmin navigation features, such as TracBack™. To give you the most accurate information possible, the watch automatically calibrates its sensors using GPS. The built-in altimeter provides altitude data to closely monitor climbs and descents. The barometer and thermometer can be used to predict weather changes by showing you the short-term change in air pressure. The 3-axis electronic compass shows your bearing whether you're on the move or not.
Stay connected no matter what
All models in the fēnix 5 range support Smart Notifications when paired with a compatible device. Receive emails, texts and alerts directly on your watch. The fēnix 5S watches also feature our new GroupTrack4 feature that lets you pair your watch via Garmin Connect™ so you can keep tabs on your friends when you step away during an activity and they can do the same with LiveTrack. Take advantage of other connected features, too, like automatic uploading to Garmin Connect and sharing on social networks via the free Garmin Connect™ Mobile app. All fēnix 5 Sapphire models connect to the Wi-Fi® network so you can automatically upload your activities to share on Garmin Connect.
Customized apps and watch faces
You can customize your fēnix 5S watch with free downloadable content from the Connect IQ Store. Change your watch face, add data fields, or download apps and widgets that give you access to information at a glance.
Garmin is constantly collaborating with top developers and companies to build partnerships that will add even more value to fēnix multisport watches. Uber, Strava, AccuWeather and many other companies offer apps and enhancements that allow you to tailor your fēnix 5S to all your needs based on your lifestyle.
Display what you love on your wrist
You can also download the free Garmin Face It™ app to customize the dial of your fēnix 5S by adding any photo from your smartphone. Simply download the app, choose an image from your photo library, adjust the time style and set the image as your watch face. With Garmin, add a personal touch to your watch by displaying a photo of your last hike, your puppy, or any other image on the face.
Running Power
View your power data during your workout by downloading our Running Power app from the Connect IQ™ store to your compatible watch. Developed by Garmin Labs, the Running Power app leverages metrics such as pace, vertical oscillation, incline, and even wind strength to determine how much power you're applying to the ground as you run. By knowing how much power you're putting out each minute and mile, you can manage your pace more effectively and avoid tiring too quickly. The icing on the cake: if you already have a compatible Garmin device, you can check your power for free. To take advantage of this, you must have one of the following devices: fēnix® 5, fēnix 5S, fēnix 5X, fēnix Chronos, Forerunner® 935 and one of these three accessories: HRM-Run™, HRM-Tri™ or the Running Dynamics Pod.
