Due very soon is the new Garmin fenix. It’s a first for Garmin. Imagine packing a Foretrex 401 into the size of a wristwatch. That’s a fenix. Granted, it doesn’t have ALL of the features of the Foretrex but it is a smaller form factor and it boasts a 50 hour battery life.
The fenix incorporates watch, altimeter, barometer, compass, temperature plot, high-sensitivity GPS receiver, and up to 50 hour battery life.
It features an LED backlight and is waterproof to 50 meters. With a battery life of up to 50 hours in GPS mode (depends on settings) the fenix will soldier on up to 6 weeks in watch mode. Basic watch functions include alarms, tones, vibration alerts, timer, stopwatch and world clock with the ability to display several times zones at once.
Additionally, you can create routes, record up to 1,000 waypoints (such as campsites or points of interest), and record GPS bread crumb trails on the move (tracklogs). It also uses Bluetooth technology to allow you to share data between fenix and other Garmin compatible devices.
Although the fenix is not yet in stock, we prefer to purchase our Garmin products from Marine Corps Veteran Owned Strohman Enterprise.
