Garmin fenix Chronos adds luxury and style to their line

Garmin has introdiced the fēnix Chronos, a premium version of its popular multisport watch, available in three luxurious styles. Made with premium jeweler’s grade materials, fēnix Chronos is the first Garmin watch to combine a durable and fashionable metal housing with the latest adventure, fitness training, activity tracking and smartwatch technology. With three versions available: titanium with brushed titanium band; steel with brushed stainless steel band; and steel with vintage leather band, there is fēnix Chronos watch to suit every style and every adventure.

“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 design that looks more in place with a suit and tie, the 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.
