Garmin fenix 5 Plus vs. fenix 6
fenix 5 Plus
Huge range of multi-sport features
For the swimmers, triathletes, and water sports enthusiasts, the Fenix is water-resistant to 10ATM.
$699.99 on AmazonThe thing with the Fenix 5 Plus is that it fits better for a bigger wrist. It is heavy and big and the size and weight difference is noticeable when you run with it. So if you have a smaller wrist this model might not be the best for you.
fenix 6
Accurate activity tracking.
It`s built with robustness in mind, so it can withstand even the harshest of elements.

Size. And it`s the biggest complaint honestly. They are just a little bit bulky and a little bit heavy. But they did actually make some changes to that and actually slimmed it down just a little bit for the fenix stick.
Is a really nice feature the fact that the notifications are the widgets are a little bit smaller here on the fenix 6 model.
Garmin fenix 5 Plus vs. 6 Differences
1. Price. The fenix 5 Plus it`s a year old model for about two hundred dollars cheaper than you`re gonna get the fenix 6. And that's a one really important thing to consider.
2. Weight. The fenix 5 Plus comes in at 87 grams and in comparison, the fenix 6 comes in at 82 grams. And 5 grams probably doesn't seem like a lot but noticeable when you run.
3. Size. The actual size of the watch it`s not a huge difference here. And it's really just a millimeter difference. So 47 millimeters versus 46 over here on the fenix 6.
4. Battery life. That is definitely a major upgrade on the fenix 6. The Garmin fenix 5 Plus has 12 days - watch mode and 19 hours for GPS mode. Meanwhile, the Garmin fenix 6 has to 14 days in watch mode and 36 hours in GPS mode.
5. The capacity of the watch. So the fenix 5 Plus and all of the fenix 5 Plus models have with 16 gigs of internal storage over here. On the fenix 6 you get 32 gigs of internal storage.
6. The fenix 5 Plus did not come with pulse ox. Whereas it comes on every single model of the fenix 6. Unless you got the 5x model of the watch. (If you're not familiar with pulse ox it is basically testing out your blood acclimation.)
7. Screen. The fenix 5 Plus when you are running is limited to four data pieces. On the fenix 6 actually have the option of upwards of 8.
