Garmin's line of high-end smartwatches just got a major upgrade.
On Monday, Garmin unveiled its series of Fenix 5 Plus smartwatches. The three watches — the Fenix 5S Plus, the Fenix 5 Plus, and the Fenix 5X Plus — are upgrades to Garmin's Fenix 5 line, which it launched last year.
The new watches start at $700 and have new features like on-watch music storage, advanced GPS mapping, and contactless payments.
Garmin also added a pulse oximeter to the Fenix 5X Plus, which means the watch can track your blood oxygen levels while you're working out in high altitudes.
