When it comes to “smart wearables,” sports products dominate this field, especially as the domestic sports boom has surged forward in recent years, making smart wearables widely used across various types of sports. This renowned American GPS brand, with 14 years of history in smart wearables, not only leads the world in aviation navigation, marine electronics, surveying and mapping, in-car navigation, and sports and leisure, but was also committed to the development of wearable smart devices even before the concept of “smart wearables” became popular, gaining widespread acclaim in Europe and America. In recent years, Garmin’s deep cultivation in the domestic market has made more and more sports enthusiasts familiar with this top international brand and allowed them to experience Garmin’s smart wearable devices. What are the blockbuster smart wearables that Garmin is bringing to this Asian CES? Let’s uncover the mystery.

Outdoor Sports Watch fenix5 Series:
Undoubtedly, the fenix5 series sports watches are among Garmin’s most anticipated products this year. This series introduces a quick-release strap mechanism for the first time and also designs different sizes for the same product for the first time. Specifically tailored for users with smaller wrists and female users, a model called the fenix5S was created. This product is not only compact and slim but also stylish, available in silver, white, and black versions, along with a sapphire glass derivative version. It offers pure white TPU straps and champagne gold camel leather straps, which can be paired with white, turquoise, or black silicone straps for versatile styling options to meet diverse aesthetic preferences. The fenix5 and fenix5S have also undergone comprehensive upgrades in detail, such as a larger screen size, higher resolution, and longer battery life — all without increasing the body size or thickness. Both new models adopt three satellite systems: GPS + GLONASS + COMPASS (Beidou). The fenix5X even comes with detailed built-in navigation maps, allowing users to search for nearby points of interest through the watch and automatically plan a retracing route based on preset target distances. Even in areas without mobile signal, the fenix5X can still guide you back to your starting point, helping you avoid getting lost.

As Garmin’s latest triathlon sports watch, the Forerunner935 continues the professional legacy of the series. If you’re a triathlon enthusiast, the Forerunner935 is undoubtedly your top choice.

It is compatible with accessories such as radar, bike lights, power meters, and head-mounted displays, and expands sport modes for triathletes to include skiing, mountaineering, skiing, and golf.
