I have only used this on a 3-day hike through the White Mountains, but am pleased enough to write a first impressions review. I did recharge the Fenix each night using an external battery so cannot comment on whether one charge holds ups over a three-day period.
Comfortable to wear even on small wrists; Logical menu tree; Easy to upload data to activity tracking websites
Must spend extra money to buy maps from Garmin; Illumination of screens is weak; but perhaps can be changed; am not sure
If you have a loved one who is into outdoorsy activities (and I don't mean walking to Waitrose rather than driving), this could be the watch for them, even if they've already embraced such wearable gadgetry.
Garmin's Fenix 3 is an extremely versatile multisport watch. The durable device can be used to record data from activities ranging from cycling and running, to mountaineering and skiing.
Does just about everything your cycling head unit does in a smaller package and with a strap
Expensive; notifications can be annoying; navigation
When it comes to sports tracking, things don't get more action packed than the Garmin Fenix 3. Designed for the person who's not content with a little weekend jogging, it's capable of tracking trail running, skiing, open water swimming and even gym work to name a few.
Huge array of sports; Tonnes of top level data; Looks great
Sapphire version is crazy expensive; Smartwatch features could be better; Big; bulky and masculine
