gps as well as larger storage and we'll talk about what all that means a little bit later on in the review now to be clear all of the models whether they are the base models the solar the sapphire models all have storage all have maps all have music and all have contactless payments so pricing wise here's a quick chart showing you all those prices from NUMBER_TOKEN up to NUMBER_TOKEN as you can see there are way too many models to try to read off so i'll just let you do that by yourself by hitting the pause button that's about NUMBER_TOKEN increase over the past with the phoenix NUMBER_TOKEN series likely because of the fact they all have storage on there as well as maps and music okay so with pricing out of the way let's talk about some of these new features and the first feature is the new touchscreen it's still a color screen like in the past but now it has touch on it and it still has buttons like in the past but now you can use both buttons or touch however you see fit probably the most useful scenario for the touch screen is simply maps while you're out hiking like this i can just simply swipe on the screen and move around to see where i am on the map it's relatively similar in that context to what coros has done with our chorus vertex NUMBER_TOKEN or frankly any other touch watch in the past couple of years you can of course also use the touch to swipe through the menus on the watch and move around all the things you would normally expect but garm is built in a ton of different options if you want to turn off the touch so by default for example when you go out for a workout for the very first time touch is actually disabled unless you explicitly enable it for that particular workout profile and then it'll save your settings that workout profile from there on out similarly you can go ahead and disable touch while you're asleep for example so that you don't accidentally like touch your watch and do something weird to it there's a lot of ways you can customize this so if you're not really a touch person you don't have to use it in terms of touch screen responsiveness it's pretty good whether it be dry or wet i haven't had any real issues there my overall preference though is just to use buttons mainly because if i'm open water swimming or if i'm doing something in cold weather with gloves i just know it's easier to use the buttons and they work every single time but ultimately now you have the choice to do whatever you want and hey a quick note if you're finding this video interesting useful informative or something like that go ahead and consider subscribing down at the bottom there or hit the like button both of those really do help out this channel and the video quite a bit next up we got probably the coolest geek feature if you will on the phoenix NUMBER_TOKEN series which is the new flashlight i know this is something that sounds like vaguely silly at first but it's actually super useful in real world scenarios so this is only on the fenix NUMBER_TOKENx so the larger edition now the flashlight has three kind of core cases the first one is simply just a flashlight to use day to day around the house whatever you might need to do i've used it like changing a baby's diaper at night like that sort of like sounds silly walking around the house you just double tap the button there and it turns on the flashlight there are two white leds
