How long is a Garmin Fenix 5x supposed to last?

I've had mine since maybe May 2017.  It went black today (and the charger hasn't seated properly for months) - isn't responsive to buttons or charge.  Kind of a bummer because they are very spendy, and I have about $250 worth of maps that aren't transferable on it.  Am I just done?  Maybe I'm being unreasonable, but I feel like that's not really enough life cycle for a grand of gadget and maps.  It's pretty cool, but I don't think it's worth another spend like that.
