The Fenix 3 HR adds an integrated optical heart rate monitor, along with the latest Fenix 3 software. The Garmin Fenix 3 and Fenix 3 Sapphire were released in early 2015 and a year later Garmin announced the Fenix 3 HR at CES 2016. Rather than having a limited audio experience with a GPS watch, I just use my phone when I want to get motivated with music. I also run when I travel and enjoy taking photos when I go out to run so want my phone camera with me all the time. However, my training philosophy is changing a bit as I get older and I now prefer to mount a phone on my arm for safety reasons.

The one thing missing that I would like on a wearable is the ability to store and stream music to my Bluetooth headset while I run. 40 hours in UltraTrac mode, 16 hours in GPS training mode, and 2 weeks in smartwatch mode with 24/7 HR monitoring
