It's here smart health watch which could have been on the wrist of Indiana Jones. Garmin takes advantage of CES 2020 to present the Garmin fenix 3, a GPS watch waterproof up to 100 meters.

A timeless watch

The least we can say is that the watch is solid. With a waterproof up to 100 meters deep, the smart health connected watch also has a fiberglass reinforced housing, stainless steel buttons and bezel. As for the GPS antenna, it is also made of steel. There is even a premium model called Sapphire, which includes a stainless steel bracelet as well as a domed sapphire crystal. Suffice to say that to break it, we will have to go.And that's good, because the watch is there to guide you through extreme environments.

To guide you in your expeditions

Even if you have the orientation of an otter (yes an otter, why not), Garmin has put all his science into GPS, to make the fénix 3 the watch to accompany you in the most distant countries. The system is even compatible Glonass, the Russian satellite. The joys of Siberian temperatures are yours. The watch also has a barometer, of a self-calibrating altimeter, and a three-axis electronic compass.Another interesting function, called trackback, guides you to your starting point.His high resolution Chroma color screen should guarantee visibility in any environment.As forautonomy, count 20 hours in GPS mode, and until 6 weeks in watch mode.

Always further, always higher

This smart health connected watch is dedicated to intensive training. It is therefore more suitable for experienced athletes who love trails, triathlon or other outdoor strength Review.It has training functions to keep you going above and beyond. You can for example set a activity level goal for the day, and after an hour of doing nothing, it will vibrate to remind you to order.If you associate garmin fenix 3 with a heart sensor, the latter is able to find out about your VO2 Max.And this is one of the faults of the watch. To always go further, you will have to pay always more. If you associate it with HMR Run, the Garmin heart rate belt, the fenix 3 is then able to inform you about the quality of your stride as well as your running technique, functions that we would like to see integrated directly into the watch.

No sport discrimination

However, this is not a smart health connected watch only dedicated to racing. She is also able to accompany you in the practice of swimming, especially in white water, even if the information she communicates is limited to that of her Swim, namely the pace, the number of lengths and the type of swimming.In ski / board mode, the watch gives you information on the number of descents, the speed, the distance traveled and the elevation. Why not for longboarders who love downhill?

Garmin fenix 3, a customizable interface

If the colors are limited to the number of 3 : Silver, Gray and the premium Sapphire model, the interface is very largely personalizing. Thanks to its application platform called Connect IQ, you will be able to download applications dedicated to sports, and even modify the interface of the dial.It can also be adapted to your sports practice. If you are a skier, then you will like the iSki application, which is currently being designed and should keep you informed of heavy snowfall. You are an accomplished sportsman and you monitoring the oxygenation of your muscles, so the application under development by Moxy should interest you.In short, you will understand, there is something for everyone.

For enthusiasts looking for performance

Connectivity level, the watch is compatible with your Android and IOS smartphones and in association with the application Garmin connect mobile, it allows your loved ones to follow your training, or even your performance during races. The watch is also able to notify you if you receive a call or text message.As for the price, well it is like the capacity of the watch, high. You will have to count 449 euros for the classic model, and 549 euros for the premium model. Note that a pack is available with the HRM Run for 40 euros more.Marketing is planned for the first quarter of 2020, and we can't wait to compare it to the Poolar V800
