Any idea how long this sale is good for? I want to get one but I really need to get a better idea of the sizes first
If you're looking for a watch that looks "classier", consider the 5s. The watch bezel is much less rugged looking than the 5 or 5x.
If you've used a Fenix 2 or 3 before, the 5x is similar in size. There isn't much difference between the 5x and 5.
You probably want the 5x. Given the prices are roughly the same here (5s: $510, 5: $595, 5x: $595, after discount), you get a lot more features packed into the 5x:
- sapphire
- WiFi
- topo maps with navigation (seriously, this makes the watch)
Been looking for a deal on this! Thanks OP, I had the Fenix 3 HR and sold it before the 5x came out. Built like a tank and I never have to worry about hitting it on things, unlike my Samsung Gear s3 which is fragile.
I just went to REI and tried on the 5s and 5. Ended up going with the 5s as I can wear it everyday as the 5 was to big. Willing to give up some battery life and screen to have a watch that is comfortable. This is a great deal. $513 with 3-4 day shipping. This is about as good of a deal you will get during Black Friday.

It's also worth noting that it's the sapphire version for $595 with discount since the regular one MSRPs for $599.edit: don't listen to me, I don't know what I'm talking about.

Thanks for the tip! No tax in Tennessee as well (11% sales tax here). Super great deal.
No taxes for Texas! Pulled the trigger. Sweet I have been eyeing the 5 for a while now.
I just ordered a Fenix 5X and 5S and be fru**l has 7% CB on top of the 15% - see if it tracks
