Features
Built Tough: The Garmin Fenix GPS watch is built to endure the
toughest outdoor conditions. The Garmin Fenix combines a strong housing to
survive shocks with a mineral glass lens to resist scratching. It's waterproof
up to 50 meters. A an adjustable polyurethane wristband makes sure you have the
right fit. The Fenix comes with a black wristband, but can be swapped out for an
olive or
orange wristband (both sold separately).
1.2" LCD: The Fenix boasts a transflective, monochrome 1.2" LCD screen (70
x 70 pixels) with LED backlighting.
GPS Tracking: The GPS watch provides comprehensive navigation and
tracking functionalities, as well as trip information to guide you on and off
the beaten track. The Garmin Fenix lets you create up to 50 routes, store up to
1,000 waypoints (such as campsites or points of interest), and record up to a
10,000 GPS bread crumb trails on the move (tracklogs). You can navigate to
coordinates, along a track or route, towards waypoints, geocaches or along any
other selected bearing. The TracBack function guides you back along a previously
recorded tracklog so you can easily find your way to the safety of a vehicle,
trailhead, or campsite in case of an emergency or bad weather conditions.
ABC (Altimeter/Barometer/Compass) Sensors: The Fenix is equipped with
ABC sensors (altimeter, barometer, and compass) to provide relevant real-time
information on heading, elevation and weather changes. The built-in altimeter
provides elevation data to accurately monitor ascent and descent, while the
barometer can be used to predict weather changes by showing short-term trends in
air pressure. The 3-axis electronic compass keeps your bearing whether you're
moving or not.
Wireless Communication: The Fenix is equipped with both ANT
capabilities and Bluetooth to wirelessly share tracks, waypoints, routes and
geocaches with other compatible Garmin devices or smartphones.
Base Camp: Plan trips and share adventures with friends and family
using
BaseCamp for your Windows PC and Mac computer. You can view maps, plan
routes, and mark waypoints and tracks from your computer and then transfer them
to your device. The BaseCamp's Track Draw feature lets you trace your planned
route and view elevation changes, helping you estimate the difficulty of a
hike or bike ride.
Optional Temperature Sensor: The Fenix is compatible with Garmin's
optional temperature sensor (150TEMPE,
sold separately) that keeps track of how rapidly the temperature is rising or
falling, helping you determine clothing and shelter needs or whether it's time
to turn back.
Performance Measurement: The Fenix provides real-time performance data
(such as distance, pace, cadence, and calories) helping you keep track of your
progress during and after your adventures. Fenix is compatible with Garmin's
premium
heart rate monitor,
speed/cadence bike sensor and
footpod (all sold
separately).
Alerts: You can set the device to alert you in many different
situations where your awareness of the surround conditions or other data is
important. There are three types of alerts.:
- Event Alert: An Event alert notifies you once. The event is a
specific value. For example, you can set the device to alert you when your
reach a specified elevation.
- Range Alert: A range alert notifies you any time the device is
above or below a specified range of values. For example, you can se the
device to alert you when your heart rate is below 6bm (beats per minute) and
over 210 bpm.
- Recurring Alert: A recurring alert notifies you every time the
device records a specified value or interval. For example, you can set the
device to alert you every 30 minutes.
Watch Functions: Basic watch functions include alarms, tones,
timer, stopwatch, and world clock with the ability to display
several times zones at once.

rechargeable lithium-ion battery that can last up to 50 hours in GPS mode

battery can be recharged using the included AC power adapter, or simply plugging
it into a free USB (type-A) port on your computer or laptop (charging cable
