    Does more than the salesperson could remember. A little less resolution than the 5 - lots less cost. Sweet!

    HONESTLY, BEST SMARTWATCH OUT THERE i really like it. The issues i had are not with the watch but with the app itself... the app feels hard and not user friendly.

    The next great Fitness Watch

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Having worn high end watches for as long as I can remember I could never find a fitness watch that would suit my fancy around the workplace. I would use my Samsung Gear during a workout and take it off as soon as I was done. The new Garmin Penix 3 HR may be the watch to solve my dilema. There are many good reviews out there, check out DCRainmaker for a very indepth review. I'm about to give a most simple one, from me, a multi sport wannabe athlete who while in pretty decent shape, still could shed a pound or two. I am an avid cyclist, runner, cross fit and yoga guy. I don't swim of golf (which watch has features for) so I won't comment on that. Hopefully that covers it and here goes: I was choosing between Garmin Penix 3 HR and Forerunner 235. Both watches are in high demand now (March 2016) and after reading the review from DCRainmaker (not a plug btw) I opted for the Penix at $600 (vs $325). For me, money isn't an issue when it comes to my gadgets. I care more about performance. I had previously used a Samsung Gear Fit for my wrist and a Garmin Edge on my bicycle. Since I started running more last year I felt the need to go with a more fitness oriented watch. Important to me was a GPS, Smart watch technology, heart rate monitoring and it's ease of connecting to a 3rd party app, particularly Strava. From that perspective the Penix 3 HR covers it all. PROS: Attractive enough to wear as a daily watch...Garmin GPS accuracy...Phone notifications...No chest strap needed for HR...Syncs with Stava...Long Battery Life...Can input non movement workouts like yoga and crossfit CONS: Wish it were brighter. Once nightfall hits, it becomes difficult to see the time and/or notifications without having to push the light button. Overall after a week of wearing it, I've been impressed. So much so I rarely take it off. I even wear it to monitor my sleep. Hmmm, anyone interested in a like new Hublot?

    This is a great watch that has every function a person could want. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is the iPad software app has issues.

    Worked great for a few weeks, then my battery started draining in less than a day. Trying a hard reboot to see if it will fix the issue.
