Garmin has just dropped the first details of its newest multisport watches: the Fenix 5, Fenix 5S and Fenix 5X. For those keeping score at home, there never was a Fenix 4, it seems the GPS giant has gone straight from three to five.

All three of the new Fenix 5 models come with Garmin’s Elevate wrist-based heart rate technology, a host of multisport activity modes, daily activity tracking and new Quick Fit bands that can be swapped tool free. Currently on display at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the new watches will go on sale mid-2017.

Slightly smaller than the Fenix 3 models the new Fenix 5 measures 47mm across, but like its predecessors the new watches get a three-axis compass, gyroscope, barometric altimeter as well as the ability to access both GPS and GLONASS satellite networks.
The new Fenix 5s are also Bluetooth enabled and compatible with Connect IQ, so users can customise their watch with apps, widgets, data fields and watch faces. Additionally, the new watches are compatible with the Face It app, so users can set their favourite photo as a watch face and when paired with a smartphone will also display call, text and email notifications.
The Fenix 5 and 5S are available with mineral glass or sapphire screens, with only the latter being WiFi enabled so users can utilise their home network for automatic sync to Garmin Connect.
