Never a company to rest on its laurels, Garmin took the impressive fenix3 HR and dressed it up in a lightweight titanium suit. The Chronos is not just a feature-rich GPS smartwatch, it's one of the best looking too. The titanium case and bracelet are light and tough, and it includes a black silicone strap for use in wet environments. Both straps have quick-release pins to make the switch easy. Garmin’s Elevate optical heartrate sensing technology provides heart rate data without a chest strap. Individual activity profiles, from snowsports, running, biking, swimming, and even golfing, allow you to get metrics from any activity. The internal EXO antenna connects to both standard GPS satellites and GLONASS satellites, giving you fast, accurate GPS signals wherever you are. And outside the backcountry, day-to-day activity tracking, sleep monitoring, and smart notifications, make it useful in all parts of your life.
