Could it be that the Fenix 3 is comparatively a better option than the Fenix 5x? We’ve done an in-depth comparison on both and the answer might surprise you.
Sure, you’ll have to forsake some major upgrades and much longer battery life, but… at around half the price, the Fenix 3 just might be the better choice for your budget.
Garmin remains a great player in the GPS navigation field and the Garmin Fenix 3 Sapphire does not disappoint. It’s essentially a powerful smart backpacking watch in that you can personalize it with widgets, apps and custom faces depending on your preference.
Being GPS enabled, the Fenix 3 Sapphire accurately records a bread-crumb trail of your movement and allows you to mark your course with up to 1000 points of interest!
The watch also connects with your Bluetooth smartphone with email and text alerts straight to your wrist. You can even add the heart rate monitor (not included) for additional data tracking.
Available Designs
The Garmin is clearly designed with the tech savvy in mind but you don’t have to be a genius to use it. The functions are simple to understand easy to use, even if you’re just looking to use the basic functionality.
One negative of the garmin is that it can often be wildly inaccurate at determining distance / pace when your run includes hills, wind, or different running paces. Consider it more as a navigator than a fitness tracker.
You should definitely consider the Garmin Fenix 3 if you love tracking as much info as possible and like to explore the incredible features and the unbelievable amount of customizations.
