Garmin India has
launched fēnix 5X Plus Multisport rugged watch targeted at athletes and outdoor
adventurers. The fēnix 5X Plus is the first wearable device that has a
wrist-based Pulse Ox sensor to track blood oxygen saturation awareness at
higher altitudes, says the company. It was introduced in June.
It has three-axis
compass, gyroscope and barometric altimeter as well as multisatellite (GPS,
GLONASS and Galileo) network capability to track in more challenging
environments than GPS alone. Other features include GroupTrack and LiveTrack
allow users to keep tabs on their buddies for adventures such as skiing and
friends to follow their adventures in real time respectively. The Round-trip
Run and Round-trip Ride routing options give runners and cyclists the ability
to enter a distance they would like to travel and have the watch suggest
appropriate courses.
It has
scratch-resistant sapphire lens, PVD coated stainless-steel bezel with a
silicone watch band and has Garmin Chroma Display with LED backlighting for
readability in all conditions.
