While looking for something for my partner since she has become more adventurous with her walks, I had been looking at the fēnix 5. What caught my attention was the safety and tracking features. Looking at the specs this has been out on a few Lines Garmin lines for a little bit and for what I am looking for it’s a game changer.
I am not a worry wort but she has been gone longer than I feel is normal some days, and I worry if something happened how would I find her as I am not walking where she does, snakes, bugs, critters yeah that's not me. Plus it has round trip tracking so she can’t get lost So when I saw these features I began looking into the Garmin fēnix 5. I did not purchase yet and last week they came out with the fēnix 6 line. The fēnix 6 is a top of the line tracker for what I am looking for.
