Pros: Still does everything I want it to. Has great battery life still. Pretty accurate for a wrist measure, when measuring heart rate. Also has built in GPS, and even Garmin Pay although I never got it to work. Screen is perfectly visible in sunlight

Cons: Proprietary charger. I’ve had to switch the watch band 2 times.

    I am about fan of Garmin and its products, I only wished that they had a program to replace batteries.

      I bought a used fenix 5 for 60€ and replaced the battery (14€) myself. 35-40 days per recharge now with bluetooth and heart-rate logging. IMHO extreme value.

      This is probably why I won’t go back to them. The fact that, from what I’ve seen, you just get an offer on a discounted refurb in lieu of a battery change. Either that or told to purchase a new one if the battery fails just outside of warranty, which didn’t seem rare for my watch. Given how many iterations there have been of these watches seems by design.
