Outdoor watches require exceptional quality to withstand various harsh conditions, so using hard metal materials is an excellent choice. However, the interference that metal materials cause to GPS signals has become a major challenge. So, how can the issue of signal interference be overcome while still using metal materials? The renowned American GPS brand Garmin has adopted one of the most cutting-edge technologies in the world in its newly launched Fenix 3 outdoor watch, completely solving this problem.
Some outdoor watches on the market use metal bezels, but to avoid interfering with GPS signals, large antennas have to be designed on the exterior of the watch face, which not only affects aesthetics but also significantly reduces wearing comfort. The Fenix 3 integrates an antenna called EXO inside the watch. The biggest feature of this ring-shaped antenna is that it can effectively prevent GPS signal interference, maintaining the aesthetic appeal of the GPS watch while also allowing the use of hard stainless steel materials to enhance the durability of the watch.
With a sturdy body and stable signal as support, the Fenix 3 can meet your demanding requirements for outdoor sports in various harsh environments. The GPS+GLONASS dual-star positioning system, 100-meter water resistance rating, and exceptionally hard scratch-resistant mineral glass (the sapphire version uses a sapphire screen) enable you to rely on the Fenix 3’s professional and powerful performance whether you’re running, cycling, swimming, or taking on thrilling activities like mountain climbing, skiing, or triathlons.
