Garmin Fenix 3 GPS Watch - VIDEO REVIEW

The Gamin Fenix 3 has pushed new boundaries when it comes to GPS watches. What the hell exactly do I mean by that? For starters the screen resolution is incredible and double that of the Ambit3 so everything is easier to read and looks much more crisp and precise. And, it’s also in colour which improves the usability and wow-factor. The GPS functionality is super quick and when you’re tracking a route you get a graphical output on the watch so you can see where you’ve been, it just makes finding your way that much more efficient. Once you’ve collected data the built-in wifi capability enables you to download it directly to the Garmin Connect web site without having to synch the Fenix 3 with a cable - super easy, and cool! While the customization of data screens is nothing new to GPS watches the way that Garmin splits the screen into quadrants makes them easy to view and shows a plethora of info on a single screen. Garmin has done a great job of using the high-res screen to its full potential and the type and layouts are beautiful. The battery life is also very impressive, after a 6 hour ski tour wearing the heart rate monitor the Fenix 3 still had 67% of battery life remaining which is unmatched on other GPS watches in my testing.

While the full review has yet to be posted in our review section we wanted to give a sneak peek of why we’re so impressed with the Garmin Fenix 3 watch, so watch the video review below and decide for yourself.

And here are some pics of the Fenix 3 watch, its tracking feature, recharging and heart rate kit. Stay tuned for the full review in the coming weeks.
