Garmin Fenix 3

This thing is, in one word, a beast. It has been my diehard watch for what, like 4-5 years now?! I wear it on my wrist every day, and track all of my activities with it. Majoring in Exercise Science, I happen to love the statistics of speed, cadence, elevation gain, mileage, etc. I love all of it, and my Fenix 3 lets me track it all. When I was looking for a watch, I was looking for one that was had a decent battery life, an altimeter, and also could let me "backtrack" any sort of track that I had made. Essentially, if I got lost, I could use it to find my way back. The Fenix 3 ticked all those boxes, and when I found a sale for it, I sprung.

This watch has let me geek out during my outdoor activities for years now, and it was worth every penny in my mind. With the breadcrumb feature (the backtrack feature), have even used it to get myself out of sticky situations. One night on an exit from a ski in British Columbia, my husband and I were on the verge of digging ourselves a snow cave for the night before I remembered that I had tracked our ascent. My watch kept us from a cold night, and we were able to find our way back!
