With functions for biking, running swimming and backcountry navigation, the Fenix 3 is one of the most richly featured GPS watches available. For endurance athletes, the optical HR monitor provides heart rate information without the need for a chest strap. Instead, it casts light onto your wrist to detect changes in skin colour. When paired with an optional HRM accelerometer, you can track ground contact time, cadence, vertical oscillation, V02 max, and suggested recovery time. For the backcountry, Garmin Connect lets you upload maps, while the built-in magnetic compass and support for GPS and GLONASS satellites work to keep you informed on your current location.
