Pros: The watch is very stylish and easy to use. I have used it for running and walking so far. The GPS is accurate and functional as I have grown to expect from Garmin. The sapphire bezel is very nice and durable. the thing that has impressed me so far is the battery life.

Have the watch for a month, really like it. It takes some time to learn the functionality (which I am still learning) but once you learn how to navigate the menu it's pretty easy to use.

The Garmin Fenix 3 has a problem with the altimeter. Mine, along with many others is stuck at 65,617' (20,000m). Google "Fenix 3 65,617" and see for yourself. People like myself have been contacting Garmin for over a year and keeps giving different answers to the problem.

OK, so I am a Windows Phone user and we dont have many choices when it comes to wearable tech.I had the MS Band and then Band 2 for my everyday fitness tracker and smart watch. Small, light and packed with sensors you rarely see in more expensive watches.

I love it. It was a marginal decision as it catered to quite a bit more than I (at the time) needed, however it's motivated me to actually start doing some of these other things! It's become absolutely invaluable to me now, especially the GPS.

I purchased the Fenix 3 (pronounced Phoenix, little did I know!) to replace a Garmin Forerunner 610. The previous watch was an investment in getting up and over the marathoning hurdle, and was more than capable of meeting all of those needs.

Rugged; Good Value; Simple; Lightweight; Reliable; extreme battery life; forefront of technology

Full of features and you can install other apps and widgets. I don't see a reason to spend almost double the amount on a Fenix 5x when the Fenix 3 hr is already very good.

I have purchased fenix 3 with HR belt a week ago. I am satisfied with its functionality. Battery life is awesome. Activity tracking is pretty good. the HR belt shown in the picture may be diffrent for new versions of fenix3. I got hr belt with fixed sensor ( see picture).

I don't have one bad thing to say about this watch. It tracks well. I never lose GPS or Bluetooth connection. It looks fantastic for everyday wear. The most impressive thing is the battery life. I recently ran a 50k. I charged the watch the night before the race.

Very nice watch, well made, easy to use and has a ton of features. Quite large, but subtle. Very customisable, some nice faces and widgets available. Just the right amount of "smart watch" too - can notify you of emails, messages and such, but not intrusive like some. All in all a decent purchase.
