While it's not a female only line, it was did have a female specific focus. The new lineup features three watches: the Fenix 5S, the Fenix 5 and the Fenix 5X.
The Fenix 5S lies at the smaller end of the scale, and according to Garmin it's smaller than any of the previous Fenix range. In fact, Garmin claim that it is the "first Fenix designed with a focus on female athletes".
Meanwhile, at the heftier end of the scale, the Fenix 5X features pre-loaded, wrist-based mapping.

There are some new features, though. Garmin has introduced a new "performance widget".
