Investing in a fitness watch doesn't mean having to sacrifice form or function. Garmin's fenix 3 is designed to perform both as a modern wearable device as well as a rugged timepiece. For starters, it looks nothing like the fitness bands and smartwatches of recent years. Quite the contrary, it instead resembles a beefy dive watch thanks to its 100m-rated 30mm titanium case, domed sapphire lens, and your choice of metal bracelets or silicone straps.
As a fitness tracker, the fenix 3 is a heavyweight in features. Its EXO antenna captures GPS/GLONASS satellite reception, giving you better tracking than GPS alone. It comes with advanced training metrics like running dynamics, personal records, and a recovery advisor, among many others. Its set of ABC (altimeter, barometer, compass) sensors makes tackling your outdoor challenges safer and easier. With all these features, you would think that battery life is a problem, but thanks to its 300 mAh rechargeable li-ion battery, the fenix 3 functions up to 50 hours in UltraTrac battery-saver mode, 20 hours in GPS mode, and up to 3 weeks in smartwatch mode.
Whether you're training, trekking, tracking notifications, or simply telling the time, the fenix 3 is one tough contender of a chronometer.
