Garmin Fenix 3

 

The Garmin Fenix 3 is a serious runner's watch. It's big, it's expensive and makes a pretty bold design statement on your wrist. But it's also great.

Excellent battery life ; Hard-wearing frame ; Versatile GPS tracking ; Quick, well-designed UI

Lacks golf tracking of other models ; No on-watch maps ; Big and bulky

Garmin Fenix 3 review

 

Fantastic fitness watch comes at a price

Easy and intelligent configuration ; Quick and accurate tracking ; Rugged and long-lasting.

Needs a chest strap to really shine ; Basic on-screen display ; Sleep tracking is so-so

An impressive sports watch from Garmin that is only let down by its price. Casual users should look elsewhere.
