Launching at CES, Garmin has announced updates to the Fenix 3 Sapphire multisport watch boasting additional activity profiles, new watch bands and built-in sensors. This builds on the existing Fenix 3 platform, that offers GPS capabilities, ANT+ device connections, Bluetooth mobile communications and various other features with its built-in barometer and accelerometer.
With three new models being released to replace the current premium Fenix 3, it seems each gets a sapphire lens and new strap options, but only the Fenix 3 HR receives Garmin's built-in Elevate wrist-based heart-rate technology.
As this was a shortcoming in the current version we’ve been testing, we’d hoped to see it across the whole range. Should heart-rate tracking be lower on your agenda than it is on ours, in addition to the new HR model there’s a premium lighter-weight titanium bezel option, and a version that offers easily interchangeable nylon and authentic leather straps.

Garmin has also announced a software update, which includes a range of new activity profiles and physiological measurements. For those who already own a Fenix 3, a free firmware update will be available and will allow the new profiles to be downloaded.
