Badger Jan 2015 3:24pm, 5 Jan 2015 4,638 posts	0 Badger It's probably the least ugly watch Garmin have ever made. Hendo, the fenix watches are made by the outdoors division at Garmin; started out as ABC watches with added GPS and evolved to support run/bike/swim with a bit of smartphone navigation thrown in, all of which stretched the hardware painfully. Looks as though the new model is repositioned directly above the 920xt, with better navigation. For ultra runners, the Garmin microsite suggests it supports charging while recording. fenix3.garmin.com
