Satellite technology is so awesome! With a little help from space, your GPS device can manage to take you home from wherever you might find yourself on the planet. It’s precisely this technology that makes the Fenix sports watch by Garmin irresistibly special.
Priced at $399, this is Garmin’s first GPS wristwatch, boasting built-in sensors that ensure all sorts of useful information on your hiking trips and leisure excursions. It can tell you everything you need to know about weather changes, elevation, air pressure, and your exact position at any given time. The device can also be used by fitness enthusiasts, as it is compatible with Garmin’s heart rate monitor strap and cycling cadence sensor, helping the wearer keep track of his or her body’s reaction to effort.
With a battery life of up to 50 hours in GPS mode, and water resistance of up to 50 meters, the Fenix is can really be a life saver in extreme situations. Other functions of the watch include a world clock displaying several time zones at a time, stopwatch, timer, alarms, vibration alerts, and Bluetooth and ANT technology for wireless data transfer.
It can store up to 1,000 Waypoints and 10,000 Track points, and it generates real maps on its display surface. What more can you ask for in a wristwatch? Oh, and we shouldn’t forget to say that the battery life in watch mode is of six weeks!
