There are some great deals on the entire Fenix 5 Series – that’s PLUS and non-PLUS models and that’s 5S, 5 and 5X variants.
These are the BEST deals that you will get in 2018. There will not be deeper deals later in 2018.
I would recommend the Fenix 5S PLUS even as an alternative to the 935 which is not on sale. I’d recommend the PLUS models in general. I’d suggest that the non-Plus models are great, PROVIDING you know what you are buying. Check out the two reviews at the end which explain all.
The Deal: $150 off Starting NOW (USA)
All the following link through to your local Amazon geo. Let’s see if the US Amazon sale spills over to other areas (Edit: there are some UK deals with up to about GBP50 off)
