Fenix 3by Garmin
PROS
- The Fenix 3 tracks a wide range of activities, including walking, hiking, swimming, running, biking, skiing and more, and it delivers plenty of data related to them.
- The watch is attractive and durable, and the always-on screen is easy to read.
- In addition to activity tracking, the Fenix 3 delivers basic smartphone notifications.
CONS
- At $499 ($599 for the Sapphire version), the Fenix 3 is pricey. Very pricey.
- The watch itself doesn't include heart rate tracking; you must pair it with a chest strap for that feature.
- The Fenix 3 is big and may be too bulky for some wearers.

The more expensive Sapphire edition is obviously for wearing at evening soirees rather than out on the hills - not only is the metal strap less comfortable to wear, it substantially adds to the watch's weight too.
