In this personalized review I talk about the Garmin Fenix 5X and why it's now my new Daily Driver. I've used a lot of fitness devices over the years to track my movement, exercise and workouts and over time they have gotten more and more advanced and become extremely sophisticated in terms of how they collect your activity data. Back in the day they only really counted your steps with not even a screen built into them as you had to sync to your smart phone to see the actual data. Now these fitness / Smart Watches are like little mini smart phone on your wrist collecting your activity in a plethora of ways and communicating that data instantly on their own built in screens.

Most of these Smart Fitness Watches communicate much more than just your health data, since they are linked to your Smart Phone they can share a lot of what's going on with your phone, incoming phone calls, texts, calendar events, most notifications you have set on your phone will also be sent to your Smart Fitness Watch if you want it to.

With all that said, after using many of these devices including the popular Apple Watch and Samsung Galaxy Watch I have finally circled back to a Garmin product as the focus with Garmin devices has always been to track your fitness and activity first and foremost. Because of this I feel I get the best and most solid fitness tracking possible when using a Garmin product even if I have to give up a few other bell and whistles a more rounded Smart Watch may offer. I explain this more in the video so make sure to watch it for my Take on the Garmin Fenix 5X and why it's now my new Daily Driver.
