I purchased a brand new garmin fenix 5 plus sapphire and when i opened the box the unit s bezel was damaged in 4 places.
Garmin fenix 5 sapphire australia review.
The garmin fenix 5 plus is out now in the uk us and australia but it s not cheap.
I love the garmin fenix 5 in slate grey that i received but i can t give it 5 stars because i actually ordered the fenix 5 sapphire.
I paid a lot of money for a unit not charged or worn and has 4 scratches on the bezel.
Price wise it ranges from 599 799 99 au 1149 to 999 1099 99 au 1599.
Since this review was published garmin has launched a new range of watche s called the garmin fenix 5 plus fenix 5s plus and the follow up to this watch the fenix 5x plus.
Garmin s fenix 5 s is a rugged multisport watch from the fenix line of watches designed for those who want a rugged watch packed with sensors for a variety of outdoor activities.
Bottom line the garmin fenix 5 is not a cheap gps watch but for outdoor adventurers who need or want to capture everything they do this.
The unit was send back to garmin for inspection and they informed me that the damage is cosmetic and are not covered under warranty.
