“High-end design meets top-tier performance with fēnix Chronos,”
said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of worldwide sales. “With
luxurious materials and trusted Garmin multisport technology, fēnix
Chronos is a necessary timepiece for anyone who wants to remain
stylish through all of life’s adventures – whether its hiking
through mountains, training for a race, or heading to a formal
event.”
With a refined and luxurious design, fēnix Chronos can
seamlessly transition from a day on the trail or intense training
session to a dressy event. The premium titanium version features a
unique brushed titanium band with individually brushed forged
titanium links and black elastomer inner links making it strong yet
extremely lightweight and comfortable on the wrist. The steel
version has solid 316L stainless steel links carefully assembled
and hand-brushed to ensure a smooth, consistent texture. The steel
version is also available with a vintage-style leather band,
crafted with genuine leather. The stylish leather band has
hand-sewn contrast stitching and a nubuck inner lining that
combines classic good looks with lasting durability and comfort.
Additionally, each fēnix Chronos watch comes with an
interchangeable silicone sport band, which can be easily
interchanged.
All versions of fēnix Chronos have a high-strength and
scratch-resistant sapphire lens and a 1.2-inch Chroma Display™ with
LED backlighting for great visibility in all conditions, even in
direct sunlight. These watches also have a 10ATM (100m) water
rating 2, and are designed to withstand the elements without fear
of damage.
With Connect IQ™ compatibility and wireless connectivity
features, fēnix Chronos is a full-fledged smartwatch that can be
totally customized to each user. Through the Connect IQ store in
the Garmin Connect™ mobile app, users can download any of the free
apps, widgets, watch faces and data fields to suit their individual
needs. Users can even create custom watch faces using their own
photos with the new FaceIt app. Additionally, users can pair their
fēnix Chronos with a compatible phone to receive incoming call,
text, email and other alerts right on their watch. Fēnix Chronos
supports automatic uploads to Garmin Connect mobile, so users can
easily and wirelessly upload all their data, start a LiveTrack
session or share an activity on social media.
Following in the footsteps of the popular fēnix 3 line, fēnix
Chronos boasts a full multisport and navigational toolset. The
omni-directional EXO™ antenna with GPS and GLONASS satellite
reception supports better reception in challenging environments
than with GPS alone, and the ABC sensors (altimeter, barometer,
compass) allow users to keep their bearings while out in the field.
Activity profiles include run, bike, lap swim, open water, SUP,
row, golf and more.
The fēnix Chronos is also equipped with daily activity tracking
3 technology, so users can monitor the number of steps taken,
calories burned, stairs climbed, and quality of rest at night with
the sleep mode. With the addition of Garmin Elevate™ wrist heart
rate technology, fēnix Chronos users have the freedom to monitor
heart rate 24/7 at the wrist. Users can easily record heart rate
data and intensity minutes without worrying about a chest strap.
For the data-hungry user, Chronos can also be paired with the
HRM-Run (sold separately) to collect advanced running dynamics.
With up to 25 hours of battery life in UltraTrac battery saver
mode, fēnix Chronos can get up to 13 hours in GPS mode and one week
in smart watch mode (depending on settings).
Fēnix Chronos is available now. Fēnix Chronos titanium with
titanium band will have a suggested retail price of $1,499.99;
fēnix Chronos steel with stainless steel band will have a suggested
retail price of $999.99; fēnix Chronos steel with leather band will
