All you need for a sport watch
it is tough, long lasting, accurate and full of sensors. doesn't matter it is a day to day office work, or multiple days trekking in wild, it suits all my needs and it looks good as well. HR monitor is a bit disappointment sometimes as it can't detect my heart rate after being unintentionally dislocated during my excises.

A real fitness watch with some smart features
Great looking watch, brilliant battery life up to two weeks for me including over 10 hours of exercise tracking. Screen is very easy to read in daylight. HR model has Heart-rate built in, but the strap gives a better more consistent HR level. Notifications are good but doesn't do emoji characters.Waterproof.

Bought the Garmin Fenix 3 HR, the best in the lot.
This is what GPS watches are all about: tough, long lasting, accurate and full of sensors. It now looks good enough to wear day to day, works as an activity tracker for 24/7 use plus offers enough notifications that can be read to actually be useful as a smartwatch. It falls down on small things like being slightly too heavy and large for some and having an app that tries to offer too much at the cost of over-complication. Nothing that’ll hinder its main purpose of tracking sports.

Fantastic activity watch!
Whether you enjoy hiking, running, swimming, walking, triathlons, swimming and more, this watch is a great tracker for all your needs. With a wealth of sensors on board (GLONASS, GPS, altimeter, barometer, compass, wifi, bluetooth + many more!) and an excellent app that tracks it all for you and gives you decent reporting after each activity. Apps available for the watch itself are in abundance in the store, and a real feature of any garmin watch.
The watch is rather bulky and heavy, so may not be ideal for females, but looks great on my wrist and is quite an eye catcher. If you are also looking for a touch screen a la apple watch, this is not the watch for you as the menus etc. are operated via the buttons.

Cannot fault
I previously owned a Microsoft Band 1 & 2 and whilst I thought they were great in terms of exercise statistics it doesn't hold a torch to the Garmin Fenix HR. I purchased this watch after I had issues with the Band and haven't looked back. It has everything you could ever want from a wearable and more. Highly recommend.

Hands down the best !
Ive had this watch since the Fenix 3HR model was released....roughly 3 months. Well I cant fault it.
I would say I was initially overwhelmed but with time ive gotten a hang of the enormous amount of features. Unless your bear Grylls cross/triathlete youll never use everything it has to offer haha.

Great Sports And Hiking Watch
Pros:
Covers just about every sport incl swimming but you will need to buy Ant+ sensors like heart rate strap, speed, foot pod, power to acquire useful data - [link removed]
Useful and convenient as a navigational aid for hiking/bushwalking/outdoors activities esp when off road/off track [link removed]
Easy to read/check on the trail - reliable compass and altimeter are useful. Waterproof and tough.
Superb watch because of so many good free downloadable different faces from Connect IQ - [link removed]. Lasts weeks between charges if just us...Read more

Very Nice
I purchased this about 4 weeks ago. So far I'm very impressed.
The watch it quite large in both height and width. The height is the worst problem. It catches on everything.
Otherwise I'm loving it. The best function is the notifications from my phone of who is calling, reading emails and text messages and getting reminders. There aren't that many apps and most aren't useful but there will be more to come. I've used the golfing app and gym timer app and they are both good.
It was a bit expensive but I like it. I also do bush walking and found the Gps good. If I had my time again I'd get the sapphire glass model as I'm sure I'll scratch it soon as it catches on everything.

Garmin Fenix 3 Sapphire Leather Performer Bundle - is this unisexual and how is the connectivity with iPhone X?
1 answer
If you like big watches the garmin fenix wont disappoint. My advice if your worried about the size of it or look on your wrist go to a bikeshop/ sports shop and try one on. Theres lots of different colour bands for the watch ie pink if your worried about it not being feminine. I phone x has bluetooth and does support the garmin connect app so connectivity should be ok.
