Garmin releases its first luxury smartwatch, the Fenix Chronos
Garmin has just announced the Fenix Chronos, an amazingly elegant smartwatch with all the features of their standard GPS exercise watches – the Vivoactve, for example – with a case and aesthetic that would be at home in a fine watch shop. That’s right: this is the first fancy smartwatch that you could wear in the boardroom, bedroom, and gym.

Garmin has just announced the Fenix Chronos, an amazingly elegant smartwatch with all the features of their standard GPS exercise watches – the Vivoactve, for example – with a case and aesthetic that would be at home in a fine watch shop.
That’s right: this is the first fancy smartwatch that you could wear in the boardroom, bedroom, and gym. Oh, and it costs $1,499.99 for the beautiful titanium model – considerably more than your average smartwatch – but, I would argue, Garmin has put a lot of thought into this piece.
I haven’t yet tried this beast out fully yet but on first blush it’s very impressive. For the outdoor buff you’ve got an altimeter, barometer, and compass as well as a system that can get you back to your starting point if you’re lost.
You can connect it to your phone, as well, and get weather data and notifications.
