Almost perfect for kayaking
I purchased my Fenix 3 HR two weeks ago and have finally finished putting it through its paces and testing the various features that attracted me to this wearable GPS in the first place. I was most interested in a device that would monitor my performance and route while kayaking. I did quite a bit of research on this "watch" before finally making my purchase. Despite not being able to find a review specific to kayaking, I assumed, correctly, that the Stand-up Paddle (SUP) and Rowing widgets would suffice. These two widgets that currently come with the Fenix 3 HR both provide similar performance data specific to paddling sports. These include heart rate data, temperature data, timing (moving time, avg. speed, max speed, avg. moving speed) and strokes (total strokes, avg. stroke rate, max. stroke rate and avg distance per stroke). These data a nicely displayed in tabular and graphic formats below a map of the route plotted on a Google map of the area covered. A really nice feature of this display is a dot that can be dragged along the route, concurrently moving a cursor line along the graphic plots of the relevant data. This is hard to describe so check out the photos attached which show my data from a recent paddle. Of the two widgets, I found the SUP widget the most useful for kayaking primarily because it uses standard English measurements rather than metric. The only drawback to using these widgets for kayaking is that the double ended paddle allows for two strokes for every one stroke used in rowing or stand-up paddling. Consequently, the strokes counted by the widget are exactly half the number actually taken. Multiplying the strokes by 2 and dividing the distance/stroke by 2 is an easy fix until the Garmin developers get us a kayaking widget. The device performs beautifully, and has a number of other features that are really useful to kayakers or anyone involved in watersports. I should mention that I don't have a smart phone so I have to rely on my PC for syncing my device with Garmin Connect. In my opinion, this should not be a deterrent to anyone similarly unencumbered with a smart phone. Finally, while this is a big "watch" I have found it to be quite comfortable on my admittedly small wrist; even when sleeping.
Amazing, beautiful, big watch!
I have had this amazing watch for about 2 months! This watch is big and beautiful! The quality is top notch! I am a woman with small wrists, but I Love this watch! I run, walk, lift weights and do tons of exercise classes every week! GPS is spot on, optical heart rate is okay, especially resting heart rate! I use a chest strap because I want more precise information! The Fenix 3 hr tracks sleep too! I like getting my phone notifications on my wrist! I love this amazingly beautiful, big watch!
Worth the money??
About a month into using the Fenix 3 HR and would say I am only using about 20% of its potential as I have being using for running only. It is quirky but not like Suuntos I have had. Readings are accurate and I use the heart rate strap. GPS is above average on most days although not perfect. Battery time is awesome. Emails & texts on watch face are great. Loadable faces and widgets are more than gimics. Doesn't do a great job tracking sleep as naps are never picked up. More than a few have walked up and made positive comments on the look of the watch. As noted prior $650 with a strap is pricey but think about but if you wear it 24/7 it pays for itself over the long haul.
Incredible Feature Set. Love it.
I love this watch. I have had others in the past and the Garmin Vivoactive 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 gorgeous. I was worried about how 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.
Awesome Activity Tracker/GPS sports Watch
I was in the market for an activity tracker and I wanted to upgrade my aging watch. I consider a "Smart Watch" but none was capable of recording some advanced metrics that I wanted to track. I also didn't want a device that was too sporty looking. Since I am an avid cyclists and runner I also wanted something that would easily integrate with the device and app that I've used for the last several years. The Garmin Fenix 3 HR ended up being the best option for me, it actually added some metrics that my current cycling computer don't have. It's cool that I now have VO2 max estate and recovery calculator. And as far as esthetics, I thought that it would look big on my wrist because I have tiny wrists and it does but it doesn't look gaudy. Actually I purchased the metal band and it dresses up very well.
Fenix 3 HR is ALL YOU NEED!!!!
This watch ROCKS!!! Five star rating is not high enough. I love love love it. The GPS signal is awesome, the battery life is unparalleled and the features are abundant. It will take me a few weeks to learn how to use all of the features but I will get there. Definitely download the extensive user guide from the Garmin website because that alone is phenomenal. You do need one of the heart rate straps to get the advanced metrics but I am fine with purchasing that later down the line. The metrics you can get from the watch alone work well for me at this time. This watch is a true powerhouse. Worth every penny!!! I can't stress this enough......it's an expensive watch but you get what you pay for :-).
The perfect training tool
The Fenix 3 HR is the perfect training tool for athletes and outdoor enthusiasts. The Garmin Connect software, both the phone app and the web portal, do a great job of making all the data the Fenix 3 collects available in a very useful format. The 24-hr Heart Rate and sleep tracking are very helpful in assessing your workload and recovery. I have found the integrated optical HR sensor to be very good, bit still use my heart rate chest strap for my workouts to get the most accurate data and additional metrics provided by the HRM-TRI / HRM-SWIM / HRM-RUN. I have been very pleased with the various ways I can customize the watch screens and widgets for my specific use. I have not had an opportunity to try out the navigation features yet, but am looking forward to reporting how that goes.
Fit review for women
Quick feedback for anyone considering this as a holiday gift. This is my 2nd Garmin watch. I chose to go with the rubber band again because the last one works well for me. This model is HUGE on my wrist. Im an average sized woman with small wrists - 6 inches. The band has about 3 slots left on my wrist. Due to it's weight it turns outward a lot on my wrist. My other Garmin that I love for running is a Forerunner 15 and it fit wonderfully. I will update my review in a week after giving it a try.
Amazing Sports Watch
This Garmin Fenix 3 HR is everything that it says it is. I use this watch when I ride my mountain bike and when going to the gym. Linked to Strava in seconds. GPS is very fast and HR monitor (on the wrist) one of my favorite options and why I bought the watch, is very accurate. Overall I believe that this time piece is worth every penny if you use it for what it is designed to do. It will probably replace my everyday watch very soon. If you are on the fence about spending the 600 bucks and you can get past that..... Money well spent!
Tracking your health? Look no further
Bought this watch a couple weeks ago. It replaced my Sunnto Ambit (which had a LOT of miles on it). This watch is easy to use, and the accuracy of the GPS is right on, and has zero issues with cloudy days. Although it has only been two weeks, I would recommend this to anyone who can afford it. There are plenty of "bells an whistles" I may not be using, but we will see. I am interested in the Tactix Bravo due to my line of work, and the fact that I work remotely with little access to power, and have heard great things about the battery life while using the GPS. That is the only downfall that the Fenix 3 has is it runs the battery down quickly, but compared to the Sunnto Ambit, it really isn't too bad.
