So far so good. No problems. A bit heavy, but eventually got used to it. Battery life is great. Charged once every week and a half.

I did a lot of research on this watch and it exceeded my expectations. I sync it with my bike computer to use the heart rate monitor and I sync it with the speed sensor on my road bike and mountain bike. I have used it to track at 3day backpacking trip as well. I bought this on sale like $200 off and it has been well worth it!

Had the apple watch and although it worked ok for running when coupled to iphone, the apple watch was missing. The Garmin is water proof and you can select individual workouts whether outdoor swimming or in a pool. The battery life is amazing. I also purchased the heart rate strap for the detailed running information when coupled with the Gramin Fenix

This watch does it all. Business meeting, change to a formal watch face. Tracking steps and HR informal. Apps for any sport you can think of, fully customizable. Love it for biking, swimming, and jogging. Interesting to see how it would work for Stand Up Paddle Boarding. Watch is on the expensive side, but worth every penny in my opinion.

Its a great watch. Has lot of functionality and ability to customize. Tracks everything from daily steps to hiking, biking, swimming, rowing etc. The watch glass is very high quality and scratch resistant. Battery life is also great. Will easily last for over a week in regular watch mode. With GPS mode should last around a day.

This watch has done everything I want. It replaced my Apple Watch. And this is so much better looking. Reads heart rate well. It is a lot on the bigger side, but after a couple of days I didn't notice the size. I have caught myself just looking at it from time to time and I have had it over a month. I would do it again. And again

I have had a number of smart watches and this by far is the best that I have owned. I have not used all the functions but have used for cycling, hiking, golfing and tracking my steps/sleep. If you are a runner this bad boy has a ton of great things as well. Highly recommend even at a high price tag it is worth it.

I love this watch. I have had others in the past and the Garmin Vivoactive HR most recently. That was a great watch, too. However, this one just blows it out of the water in feature set. That having been said, it will most likely be overkill for a lot of people.
For me, the heart rate, thermometer and altimeter have all worked perfectly, so I have no complaints there.
Lastly, it's beautiful. I was worried about how big it would look on my wrist, but I have already had many compliments. I'm not at all a big person. Actually, I am probably on the small side when it comes to my wrists. However, this thing looks like a regular watch and a sharp looking one at that.
If you have the money, get it.

Overall, I absolutely love this watch. It is a little big, so I find at times I will hit it on things. But, it is very durable and made to last. The added HR monitor is great for daily tracking, but I typically still use the HR chest strap because I find it more accurate.
I recommend this product!

It is an amazing watch. Lots of information. The Bluetooth connection is very fast and reliable and you have many "apps" in garmin website to enhance you watch. GPS is fast and reliable as well. The heart rate without the strap is very convenient as well. Fantastic. I am very happy with this purchase.

Love this watch! Battery lasts for around a week when using all features, is durable and won't break or scratch, customizable, looks and feels great, have received complements on how it looks, and learning time is fairly quick. Would say I'm glad I chose to go with this over an Apple Watch

I love this watch. It takes time to get used to the menu and button layout (this is not a touch screen device) but is superior to any smart watch I've ever owned, when it comes to fitness. Heart rate strap is a must for accurate readings while doing intense cardiovascular workouts.

I’ve always worn a watch, wether it was an old G-Shock, or a Pathfinder, or even an old reliable Timex. But, my last two watches have been Garmin’s, the first one was a Fenix 2, and now this one. And I gotta say, the 3 HR nails it. I tried out the Apple Watch (S2), and returned it less than a month later. I wanted to give it a fair chance of staying on my wrist, but it didn’t.
As soon as I put my 3 HR on my wrist though, I was smiling from ear to ear. Very rugged timepiece, loaded with features, although I do remember seeing some people asking if Jump Master is on this watch, and I hate to say it, but it isn't. Some have said yes it is to answer some peoples questions, but I can assure you it is not. They don’t even offer a Jump Master app/widget in the Garmin Store. The Fenix 2 DOES have the Jump Master feature though.
All in all, if you’re looking to upgrade your watch, wether it be a Casio, Sunnto, Timex, you won’t be dissapointed.

I am very satisfied with performance and functionality of the Garmin fenix 3 GPS Watch + Heart Rate. I like the that the band locks together to keep from coming off and that it is water proof to 300+ feet. I used to scuba dive and am now thinking about getting back in to the sport.

Perfect for all my needs. Watch is durable and has held up to some abuse. Connects to iPhone without issues cannot vouch for android. So many features to comment on. I use the running and bicycling features the most. Accurate on both most used features. GPS is great for hiking.
