The new Fenix smartwatches can last between eight days and two weeks on a charge in a smartwatch mode. However, those figures could drop to between 13 to 42 hours if GPS radio is used continuously.

The three fenixes are water resistant up to 100 meters and offers similar activity tracking toolkit like other Garmin's other wearables. The smartwatches are also compatible with the company's "Connect IQ" app platform.

According to GSMArena, the next generation Fenix smartwatches was revealed at CES when Garmin took off the wraps of the three new versions of the company's popular line of GPS-enabled watches. The new Fenix 5 is lighter, thinner, and more versatile compared to its predecessor.

It also offers a similar cutting-edge functionality that made the previous versions of the watch so famous with the outdoor athletes and enthusiasts. The latest edition of smartwatches features a host of new functionality which includes daily activity tracking, heart rate monitoring, and extended battery life to keep up with active lifestyles.

Reports claimed that the standard Fenix5 had undergone a design overhaul which now features a thinner and a more compact body. It is 47mm thin that offers the same function of the previous generation watches like Fenix3HR.
