Not only audio enhancements, but Garmin has also made substantial improvements for the fitness enthusiasts in the watch by adding new sensors like the Pulse Ox acclimation sensor. This sensor will allow the users to be aware of their blood oxygen saturation levels that will be particularly useful during outdoor tracking. This will come into use when the users go to high altitude areas. Although, it is worth noting that this feature is only available on the 5X Plus model.
