Now this wasn’t the only device released today. And while they were at it, it joins almost every other 2019 Garmin device in adopting the Sony GPS chipsets – which in turn gives it longer battery life (though, not without some downsides I’ll dive into). It also takes in all of the new features of the $1,500 Garmin MARQ watches, including temperature and altitude acclimation as well as more detailed training load/focus metrics.

All staples of more recent Garmin wearables. Sure, the new FR945 gains things like onboard music storage/playback (including Spotify), as well as contactless payments and SPo2 readings.

Which makes sense, it’s almost a year later since the Fenix 5 Plus came out. It’s got special sauce both from a hardware and a software standpoint. Yes, it has everything the Fenix 5 Plus does, but it actually has more. Ahh yes, the moment you’ve all been waiting for has arrived: The plastic Fenix 5 Plus.
