Garmin gave their impressive fenix3 HR a makeover for style conscious outdoor enthusiasts who want one watch for work and play. The Chronos is not just a feature-rich GPS smartwatch, it's one of the best looking too. Its stainless steel case is paired with a sleek steel bracelet, and includes a black silicone strap to 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.
