Battery life is great if you turn off Wifi Auto Upload.

The battery life is great, I get about 5 % discharge a day if I never use the gps and about 10 % a

The battery life is great (around 7 days) and it keep track for all the things that I need

Battery life is great if you turn off Wifi Auto Upload.

Battery life, which I thought would be terrible, is actually great.

Really you don't even need wifi auto upload on if you have a smart phone.

Really you don't even need wifi auto upload on if you have a smart phone.

But, if you can afford and are seriously considering this watch, you already have a smart phone, your not going to buy a GPS watch to compete with your phone

Also pretty positive that I'm not going to be worried about text messages and notifications during a lengthy race (like I'd really be carrying my phone with me anyway during a 1.2 mile swim).

I really like to love this watch, i actually chose this on top of the apple watch because I want something that has a built in GPS without relying on a smart phone while doing my activities.

Awesome product, I regret not buying the complete kit with heart rate monitor though.

All in all, it's a great product, definitely look no further, it's a smart watch with a great look, and awesome training tools!

I've been using this bundle for 9 months already, the product is really cool and have tons of features I use to practice several sports, like Mtb, running, skiing, hiking and watersports

This product is awful

Great product and the best choice for this type of watches

My titanium watch is light weight and it has an elegant and classy look

5 seconds... come on!Now, everybody's got their own likings, but to me, this is a very good looking watch

I think this is the best looking fitness watch out there.

This is the perfect addition/accessory to this watch for a classier/work look.

But it's a gorgeous looking watch, and the first 'wear everyday'

When you install some of the user created watch faces, you get some great features including not just a step monitor but also a reminder if you don't move much for too long.

Smart watch features are nice - not the primary selling point but a definite bonus.

I like all the features and the ability to get additional apps

But with this feature not working

It has great features both as a smartwatch and as a sports watch

but you couldn't come up with a better design for the back of the watch?I'd like to give it 4 stars

The Fenix 3 smart watch is a very sleek, well designed tool for people who want to track their activities throughout the day or during different work outs

For watches that are designed primarily for function, it's as stylish as any I've seen

FIRST ADVENTURE SPORT TRAINING GARMIN GPS/GLONASS WATCH, uncompromising performance meets uncompromising design

Love this watch, wear it daily, band is easy to clean and still like new

It's a little bigger than a normal watch and .the band feels a bit cheap for a device in this price category

The metal band is too heavy and not a very good band for working out.

Leather is the closest to an elegant band, but is not water resistant.

love the watch, hate the stupid band that holds it to my arm, because it didn't last 9 months.

The available apps are surprisingly useful but the selection is limited

, I had no trouble finding some really neat apps that were compatible with my iPhone.

There are sooo many available apps and widgets that can be downloaded to satisfy any activity you do

My concern for it is that, at the moment the connect IQ apps are still very limited and somewhat buggy and sometimes cause the watch to reset

Not very many developers working on good quality apps that will add to the functionality of the Fenix

Not worth the $600 but it is a beautiful watch, just poor execution if you actually want accurate data.

The running function is great give really good data during and after runs

It had really improved my training with the useful data shown

The auto time function does not work and it send s in correct data to my Samsung cell phone.

Lost all my data on the watch which was really annoying.4

The display is do dim with such poor contrast that it's illegible indoors.

While a feature is that you can change the watch face styles and event create your own, I like the seconds displayed constantly and that only happens while using the Garmin built in watch faces

Display may be hard to read without backlight in some situations, though it's fine in daylight5

but there does not seem to be an actual real time display of your HR available on the watch

Widgets and such are somewhat useful and keep it interesting, though I've so far personally found the built-in "digital" face with changeable number colors (to match the bands!) and background the most-useful yet non-dorky display.

I am so glad Garmin finally came out with a watch that not only tracks running but, also activity such as steps, calories burned, sleep etc

I'm hoping Garmin figures the problem and resolves - but it's looking more and more likely to be hardware related with the antenna built into the exo-skelaton.

I have never had issues up until now and this is also the most expensive Garmin watch I have ever owned.

, Garmin literally refuses to sell you maps to use with their software if you don't own the right hardware

We have this watch and two Garmin vivoactives in the household and needless to say we won't be buying anything Garmin makes ever again

I've used this watch multiple times in the local mountains and the GPS has been extremely accurate

I don't give it 5 stars because of following: The GPS is slow somehow

I am compelled to downgrade this rating to reflect the fatal flaw of this watch: its hopelessly inaccurate GPS chip.

But without an accurate GPS, what exactly are you buying here

It is a fitness watch with great GPS, plus smart notifications from my smartphone

I previously owned the Forerunner 620 which I loved (4 stars) and unfortunately the watch met an unfortunate end (left it on the top of my car); so I decided to upgrade.

** Losing a few stars.

Garmin loses a half-star because replacing the bands takes a few minutes with tools (supplied with the Garmin band).

** Losing a few stars.

He loves the two bands as he uses the leather for work and the rubber for weekends.

Switching between the two bands is not done quickly, you need two screw drivers (included), I be a bit afraid on losing a nut or one of the screw

When I got this watch, I was a bit skeptical about it, as I could recall one review video showing that the Fenix 3 HR watches do not have "Sapphire" written on them at the back

The bezel does get scratched a bit but nothing to gnarly

It is not merely that the watch deviates a bit from the actual trail, nor is it the case that the Fenix 3 suffers from the inaccuracy inherent in all GPS devices, instead it is subject to frequent and significant errors in measuring distance (off by, literally, a mile or more in a typical day of hiking) and in tracking one's route

I have one reservation, I can't tell for sure, but it seems that at the edges of the sapphire lens, when looking at certain angles, it looks like there is a little bit of air

If I had to hazard a guess, I'd bet that some senior executive whose bonus depended on an unrealistic release date he or she promised without consulting the technical people, forced this watch to be released before it was really ready

Multiple people on the garmin support forums have complained, and a number of sent it back

Go check the garmin support forums, but more and more people are having issues.

I've seen in other reviews that people have had problems with the screen scatching easily and that in itself almost made me not buy it, but I've had mine for 4 months and wear it daily and it hasn't scratched once

I had a samsung gear S before this watch, and I hated the touch screen and all the people who stopped me and wanted to know what my watch was.

After wearing the watch for a few days, neither the weight nor the bulk bother me like I feared they might

My wife is a smaller frame female and did not like the size and weight on her wrist when she tried it on

I am also weight conscience as my daily dress watch is titanium, but the weight of the Fenix 3 is not at all unwieldy as I had feared.
