I love the watch. Loaded with features, fast gps acquisition, plenty of options for watch faces, easy to change out bands, seems very durable, fits well and isn't too heavy. Only think I'm not crazy about is using the built in sensor for distance when using a treadmill. Not real accurate. Definitely not a deal breaker though. I'll eventually get a foot pod to go with it and that will solve the problem. This watch isn't Garmin's latest iteration of the Fenix series but Garmin seems to be doing a good job updating it. When I first got it (brand new), it updated 3 or 4 times before it finally settled into it's firmware without any further updates. I would highly recommend it for sure.

I wanted a smart watch, but I did not want a early model. I wanted to wait and let the competition create a more rounded watch and then buy it cheap. I feel like I accomplished this with Garmin Fenix(Phoenix) 3. The Rubber black band is comfortable and holds the watch comfortably to your wrist. I use the blood pressure monitor more than anything. It's worth the purchase just for this. No matter what sport you are into this watch has you covered. Golf and GPS = right club. Hike...ski..Compass...I live on a really high hill and love graph telling me I am at 694 ft. Sunrise is at 6:22 a.m. and sunset is 8:50 pm...all on the face of my watch. The reason for 3 stars is it does not have cell phone quality screen yet. You can still see the pixels. But for what I paid and my titanium band this baby has found a home in my watch collection $200.Read full review

One of the features I care about on this watch is sleep monitoring, and its not that good. On numerous occasions it will not register the first or second period of sleep, and it bugs me. My fitbit does a better job. That being said, every other aspect of this watch is pretty awesome, including battery life. I love going for a week between recharging - I used to wear an android smartwatch and couldnt deal with daily recharging. Its not as bright as a smartwatch, but there is an illumination button that can be set pretty bright (i increased mine up quite a bit). The watch is built like a tank, and the strap that came with it is solid, well finished. I replaced it however with silicone straps and another black metal bracelet with the 5x quick change straps - another awesome Garmin feature... they work fine on the 3 HR.Read full review

I’ve had an old Fenix 2 I picked up second hand for $70 for a few years. I found it hard to justify getting a newer watch since the old Fenix 2 did everything I needed. Then one day it stopped doing any gps functions. I tried and tried to get it to work again and it never did. I knew I didn’t want to shell out $5-700 for a new Fenix 6 so the Fenix 3hr at $170 was a good compromise. It’s a very nice upgrade. Color screen, more built in sensors, and faster processor are all things that come to mind that make it better. If you’re on the fence about upgrading, I say go for it! I can’t wait for the Fenix 5s and 6s to come down in price so I can get one of those!

Still learning it's functionalities with the Garmin App on my Iphone. As far as i can tell it looks solid build and it came with two wrist bands. A sporty rubber band and a titanium one. It will take longer to review this item at this time. So far so good. Battery life holds out pretty well. I'm sure it works better with a Google based phone. The back lighting is a bit poor. They could have made it more brighter.
