fēnix 5 Family Size Comparison

Athletes and adventurers come in all sizes. That’s why the fēnix 5 series offers multiple models that vary in size to fit every wrist and every workout, but how do all the new sizes compare to each other or to previous versions of the fēnix line?

Both stylish and functional, the fēnix 5S is lighter, sleeker and smaller than previous models. It’s perfect for small wrists without sacrificing multisport functionality and designed for female adventurers with a 42mm sized watch.

The fēnix 5 has a brand new industrial design and is more compact than the 5X, but slightly bigger than the 5s. Measuring 47mm, the medium sized fēnix is still packed with all the multisport features.

Last up is the fēnix 5X. Preloaded with TOPO US mapping, routable cycling maps, and other outdoor navigation features, this ultimate multisport GPS watch measures in at 51mm.
