It took a while to get it as it was stuck at the delivery depot for weeks and the two companies that were involved in delivering it (UK Mail and Cooper Carriers)\u00a0didn&#8217;t seem able to communicate with each other, so my messages to them\u00a0didn&#8217;t get through.\u00a0I&#8217;ve now got it though and Cotswold Outdoor who I bought it from were really good when they heard about the issues I&#8217;d experienced with the delivery.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, now that\u00a0I&#8217;ve got it and I&#8217;m getting to grips with it I thought I&#8217;d write a blog post about my preferred set-up. It might help some people out and it&#8217;s a useful document for me should I ever need to reset the watch to factory default settings as it will allow me to remember how I like things set up. There&#8217;s just so many different settings and screens that you can customise and\u00a0I know from experience with my <a title=\"Garmin Forerunner 910XT - First Impressions\" href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/2012\/garmin-forerunner-910xt-first-impressions\/\">Forerunner 910XT <\/a>that restoring it to the way you want it can take ages after a factory reboot, so at least this might help.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19163\" style=\"width: 543px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fenix-3-Setup.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19163\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19163\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fenix-3-Setup.jpg\" alt=\"Fenix 3 Setup\" width=\"533\" height=\"369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fenix-3-Setup.jpg 533w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Fenix-3-Setup-200x138.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-19163\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fenix 3 Setup<\/p><\/div>\n<h1>Watch Faces<\/h1>\n<p>There are loads of different <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.garmin.com\/en-GB\/devices\/fenix3\/appTypes\/watchface\/apps\">watch faces available for the Fenix 3<\/a> from the <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.garmin.com\/en-GB\/\">Garmin IQ<\/a> site. At the moment\u00a0I&#8217;m using one called &#8216;White with Bars&#8217; as it has a nice clear display of the time, clearly shows the day and date and also displays battery percentage, steps, calories and distance on the main screen, as well as the move alert bars. Since first writing this post I have pretty much settled on the <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.garmin.com\/en-US\/apps\/7ef071c3-4a14-4eb3-aca9-e3a531262711\">Actiface watch face<\/a> as it has a huge array of features and at a glance data. This includes the time and date,, the distance covered today and calories used, The number of steps\u00a0I&#8217;ve taken and a bar to show my progress towards my goal, a move meter, a battery indicator and a graph showing the distance and calorie burn for the past 7 days as well as the maximums for that period. It has various settings that you can change and has some energy saver features so as to only show seconds when activated and to also show the battery percentage and steps percentage when activated. It gets updated quite regularly as well so it keeps getting new features such as icons for reaching your steps goal for 3 consecutive days and a new sunrise and sunset icon and time too.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Watch Faces are a very personal thing and you may change them based on your mood, so I also have these installed.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It&#8217;s all about Squares &#8211; Although I have no idea how to tell the time with it yet!<\/li>\n<li>F3-X<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.garmin.com\/en-GB\/apps\/84ac2622-3a42-4781-bea2-5a1969487846\">Simplicity Roman<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.garmin.com\/en-GB\/apps\/84ac2622-3a42-4781-bea2-5a1969487846\">Moto Inspired Fenix 3<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Drake<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.garmin.com\/en-GB\/apps\/7f95b6d8-f587-463f-8c7f-e0e93a354cd2\">Fenix Watch Face G2 Light<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.garmin.com\/en-GB\/apps\/de9783d0-f00e-46ea-a7cd-85da2a16962f\">ZoodRangMah Text Watch<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_19164\" style=\"width: 860px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Watch-Faces.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19164\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19164\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Watch-Faces.jpg\" alt=\"Watch Faces\" width=\"850\" height=\"751\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Watch-Faces.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Watch-Faces-200x177.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Watch-Faces-543x480.jpg 543w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-19164\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Watch Faces<\/p><\/div>\n<h1>Settings<\/h1>\n<h2>Apps<\/h2>\n<p>This is where it gets complicated as each activity type on the Garmin Fenix 3 is now called an &#8216;app&#8217; and each type has it&#8217;s own profile, settings\u00a0and datascreens.

It works based on your Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and consists of a 3 minute monitoring regime. You just start it and relax and at the end of the three minutes it gives you a stress score from 1-100, with 1 being less stressed, or more ready to perform. It&#8217;s a nice feature if you can be bothered to put a heart rate monitor on and 3 minutes to spare each morning, but will probably be even nicer with the new Fenix 3 HR with it&#8217;s built in optical heart rate monitor. There&#8217;s not much else to say about the Stress Score App, but I have it installed and do use it from time to time.<\/p>\n<p>[hr]<\/p>\n<h1>Other Activity Profiles \/ Apps<\/h1>\n<p>The other apps on my Garmin Fenix 3, HRV, Surf Tracker and Skywatch are downloaded from Connect IQ and their settings are built in.
