StevieL Posted February 25, 2015 Share Anyone got an idea on when the Garmin Fenix 3 will become available?Also wondering about price, I know it won't be cheap (estimates have it at around R600 more than the 920XT).Looks like a pretty amazing bit of kit though. Whether it's worth the price tag or not, i'm not sure.Would like to see one in the flesh first, before I make that call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottCM Posted February 25, 2015 Share NacWorld expect it to be here in the second half of the year but don't know what price range to put on it. here is a link to DC's review though. http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2015/01/garmin-fenix3-firstlook.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket-Boy Posted April 17, 2015 Share Pre orders have opened. Its going to be super expensive...http://www.garminonline.co.za/epages/Garmin.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/Garmin/Products/%22PROMO%201%22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat-i Posted April 17, 2015 Share I have a fenix and the other half has a fenix2. Both are awesome devices ... and due to JoBerg2C, we're learning more about them every day. Going by the history, the Fenix3 should be impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevieL Posted May 20, 2015 Share Saw a Fenix 3 yesterday...Blimey, quite an ingenious bit of equipment...Gorgeous.And the nice part is it kinda blends in with work apparel. The 920XT didn't quite tick that box. Edited June 26, 2015 by StevieL AllAboutRides 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieL Posted May 20, 2015 Share Another win is that with the Discovery Healthy gear Card at Sportmans, can get it for just over 6k, where the normal selling price is R8450 Edited June 26, 2015 by StevieL Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, nonky and Spinnekop 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be ok as an all day, every day watch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieL Posted May 20, 2015 Share Is it quite a big watch? Would it be ok as an all day, every day watch?I'm using it as an everyday watch, but that said, I prefer oversized watches. (My other everyday watches are a G-Shock and a TW Steel).I just think the 920XT is too sports looking and a tad too big. The Fenix at least looks a bit more "business".

That's what I like about the look of it, it's got a nice clean look when in watch mode, especially the sapphire with the metal strap. Will go check it out at Sportsmans later. Would you mind measuring the face please? I cant get dimensions for it. Last question, what does the performer bundle come with? Do you have to buy the heart rate strap and speed/cadence sensors separately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure when the sapphire is being released. Haven't seen it in stores yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runbikeswim Posted May 23, 2015 Share I have the silver and red strap fenix 3 and it's awesome....But I'm now toying with idea of selling it and getting the Apple watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
