Customers are saying

Customers recognize the exceptional battery life and reliable GPS functionality of the fēnix® 3 HR Smartwatch. Many appreciate its accurate heart rate tracking and durable build, although some find the screen brightness and size to be drawbacks. Positive feedback also highlights its extensive features and water resistance. However, the price point is a common concern for some customers.

    Love it so far. Only have had three runs with it, but I like it. Only "ding" I can tell is that scrolling down to read an incoming email or text is not possible. I wish it had a touch screen to scroll through messages.

    So far .. so good. Lots of options. Love the auto-connection to Garmin connect. Decent looking too that can be worn and look stylish as a men's watch. One complaint - The brightness of the screen could be better.

    Pros: The watch is very good looking and well built. Some might find it big though. Watch is comfortable to wear. Excellent battery life. Good smart watch. You can select apps that you want notification from. Good customization options readily available. Find my phone option is awesome. Tracks any sport you can think of. Waterproof. Cons: it has lots of software bugs. Completely unreliable for sleep tracking. Heart rate sensor is also not very reliable. Steps tracking is also not as reliable as i would like. Mobile app is good but a little complex. Calorie reading is not accurate.

    Best battery life of any watch out there. Keeps track of just about everything you do and syncs great with IPhone 6.

    I read and watched a lot of reviews on the Garmin fenix 3 and found most to be glaring endorsements of this watch and substantiated. Its great for the walker, runner and rock climbing and trail walking. It gives a plethora of information especially if you download the app on your smartphone. I get sleep feedback on my resting heart rate and just so much information its unbelievable. The thing I don't like is that for swimming you really need the swim chest strap as its not accurate or won't pick up your HR on your wrist when swimming. This a bit of a bummer as I really don't want and why i went with the Garmin instead of the Polar V800 but this watch is much more of a looker and quality item IMO. Its worth the investment hands down.

    Good watch with a lot of features. The bezel does scratch easy and comparing it to the vivoactive 3 you can tell the processor is dated. But it is built tough. Much tougher than the vivoactive 3.

    I mainly got this for the accuracy of the gps and glonass system. Also the built in heart rate monitor. Great apps and customization. Nice looking watch too.

    great for very active outdoor people, not so much as an indoor fitness tracker. I love the features though. very nice looking wearable technology. would've given it five stars, but not great for in the gym.

    Great tracker but a bit too expensive. I would like to have kept it but it was too much for me. I will definitely purchase it again if I have the money.

    My family started with fitbits when the Surge was first released. After having the Surge replaced 4 times, a Charge HR replaced 3 times, and having constant issues with all of the fitbit products, especially non-removeable bands cracking within months and abysmal battery life after every firmware upgrade, we have switched to Garmin and haven't looked back. This is an upgrade to a Garmin forerunner that is still working like brand new after a year. We will pass the forerunner on to someone else in the family with another fitbit that is falling apart.

    OK, i have been using this watch for more than a year at this point and it is still on my wrist. I wear it to bed (most days) and to church and to work and to the gym. Always get compliments on this watch. The best part is the always on display - it is e-ink too so looks more natural than a screen. phone integration is sufficient and not overwhelming (so you can't reply to texts and stuff). It's an investment for sure but you will be using this watch for years whereas the apple watch or gear s3 or android wear 2 will be outdated after a year.

    I love this watch. I used to have an Apple Watch but I prefer this one because of the outdoor running-centric applications. Highly recommend!
