Multisport GPS watch with Elevate™ wrist heart rate technology
Outdoor sensors, including GPS and GLONASS satellite reception
Water-Resistant to 10 ATM
Obviously be aware that there are newer Garmin's out there.
i'm waiting it out
Ditto!
Looking for 5x plus as well
This has the newer O2 heart rate sensor which is in the Fenix 6 for those looking for that feature, but is missing Spotify and Garmin Pay.
I'm running a 5S Plus and have the Spotify app a bit of a battery killer, to the extent that I've gone back to my Mighty offline Spotify player. Garmin Pay is handy if you in a situation where you haven't got your phone with you or it's a pain to get at (i.e. buried in a laptop bag).

Fenix 5 - $549 - https://www.rebelsport.com.au/p/garmin-fenix-5x-sapphire-gps…
Vivoactive 4 - $439 - https://www.rebelsport.com.au/p/garmin-vivoactive-4-smartwat…
A few good discount at rebel sport C&C - 20% off RRP ALL items. Above looks pretty good. Not sure if I want to hold out black friday and expect better deal.
That discount on the Vivoactive 4 is good buying - that model's only been out a couple of months, has the O2 sensor, Spotify and Garmin Pay.
pair it with rebel sport giftcard purchase via AGL (i think its 5% or 7.5% discount at $50/$100 intervals) a decent deal to almost $400.
Not as good as JB HIFI catalogue error where they advertised the vivo 4 instead of the 3 at 250 but sadly wouldn't honour it.
I plan on competing in a half marathon and full marathon in the next 12 months. CUrrently using my galaxy watch but would like to get a Garmin. Recommendations between the 935 vs 5X Sports? Cheers
check out DCrainmaker or rizknow, i think he did a decent comparison and review on both.
Thanks Mate, will check it out….
Do we think black friday will bring down the prices even further?
I'm waiting it out and hoping the whole 5 series will be on sale. They gotta eventually clear the stock for the 6 and 945! I'm not overly fussed if i miss out. It's more of a want than a need.
Honestly, I don't think they will go down any further. They are already at almost 50% off (Fenix 5x for me)
@rhymingboxer1: Hey mate. Do you own the fenix 5x. What do you think
The offer got extended to the 8/12 so got some time to make a decision.
@livo81: Hey mate, yes I do. It's a pretty solid watch in it's build. If you do a lot of training outside (not in gym) then this is definitely a strong contender to buy. However, I was disappointed to learn that it does not have a mic or support Garmin Pay. I expected it to do those specially with its price tag. Apart from those 2 things I am pretty happy with it.
These are multi-sport watches. I recommend going with something cheaper if you don't require tracking bike and swim.
Back in stock again at $549 now
Updated thanks
This close to black Friday I'm hesitant pulling the trigger. Might wait to see if a 5 plus or 5x plus goes on sale cheaper.
Opinions?
