For the sports enthusiast, this Garmin fenix 3 HR GPS watch monitors fitness activity such as distance traveled, steps taken and calories burned. The watch comes with smart notifications to alert you of emails or text messages on the go. This Garmin fenix 3 HR GPS watch has a 1.2-inch sunlight-readable Chroma Display for easy viewing.

Having worn high end watches for as long as I can remember I could never find a fitness watch that would suit my fancy around the workplace. I would use my Samsung Gear during a workout and take it off as soon as I was done. The new Garmin Penix 3 HR may be the watch to solve my dilema.
There are many good reviews out there, check out DCRainmaker for a very indepth review. I'm about to give a most simple one, from me, a multi sport wannabe athlete who while in pretty decent shape, still could shed a pound or two. I am an avid cyclist, runner, cross fit and yoga guy. I don't swim of golf (which watch has features for) so I won't comment on that. Hopefully that covers it and here goes:
I was choosing between Garmin Penix 3 HR and Forerunner 235. Both watches are in high demand now (March 2016) and after reading the review from DCRainmaker (not a plug btw) I opted for the Penix at $600 (vs $325). For me, money isn't an issue when it comes to my gadgets. I care more about performance. I had previously used a Samsung Gear Fit for my wrist and a Garmin Edge on my bicycle. Since I started running more last year I felt the need to go with a more fitness oriented watch. Important to me was a GPS, Smart watch technology, heart rate monitoring and it's ease of connecting to a 3rd party app, particularly Strava. From that perspective the Penix 3 HR covers it all.
PROS: Attractive enough to wear as a daily watch...Garmin GPS accuracy...Phone notifications...No chest strap needed for HR...Syncs with Stava...Long Battery Life...Can input non movement workouts like yoga and crossfit
CONS: Wish it were brighter. Once nightfall hits, it becomes difficult to see the time and/or notifications without having to push the light button.
Overall after a week of wearing it, I've been impressed. So much so I rarely take it off. I even wear it to monitor my sleep. Hmmm, anyone interested in a like new Hublot?
