The swim-bike-run functionality of the Forerunner series with solid backcountry navigation functions, the Fenix 3 suits all types of training, racing and ambitious objectives. For endurance athletes, the optical HR monitor and HRM strap offer: VO2 Max, lactate threshold, vertical oscillation, ground contact time, heartrate, cadence, race time predictors and recovery advisors. WiFi connectivity and capacity to pair to a Bluetooth Smart and ANT+ device simultaneously let you sync and stream vital metrics. Connect IQ gives you access to third party apps, custom watch faces and more, displayed crisply with triple the pixel density of previous versions. In the backcountry, a host of navigation features keep you on-track: uploadable maps via Garmin Connect, waypoint functionality, back to start navigation, a built-in magnetic compass and support for GPS and GLONASS satellites.
