Review:  “Function-wise, Fenix 3 is similar in 920XT.”

“What I like the Fenix 3 over 920 is its shape. It is thicker than the 920, but not that much, and it is definitely much thinner and slimmer than the Fenix 2. And Garmin has learned from modern laptop design, that the edge of the watch is thinner than the center, therefore when you put the watch on the wrist, it looks thinner than it really is.”

“It is a little heavier than 920 as well, but you’ll get used to it in 1 or 2 days. ”

“The display is as good as 920, and maybe its my illusion but I think it is actually better than 920, the color is sharper and more vivid. The 3-field or 4-field looks great in the round face. ”
