詳細はやはり DC Rainmaker さんで。
現在ベータ版として配布されているソフトウェアは正式版として採用され、交換バンド (ベルト) も各種販売されるようです。
2016.3.4 追記:
おなじみ In-Depth Review がアップされています。
70g を切ってくるような重さになったらうれしいですね。
右端がチタンぽい？ ベルトを交換しても 70g 以下はありえないか。。。
追記: DC Rainmaker さんの記事を読むとベルトそのままで 90g のよう。 90g は Fenix 3 HR でした、ゴメンナサイ。
Titanium は silicone band を付ければ 78.2 g のようです。
(Sapphire というのは風防がサファイアガラス、フツーの Fenix 3 はミネラルガラス)
- Titanium, titanium band: 4.8 oz (134.8 g); Titanium, silicone band: 2.8 oz (78.2 g)
- Gray, leather strap: 3.0 oz (84.9 g)
- Black, nylon strap: 2.8 oz (79.6 g)
- Others: with all links, 6.56 oz (186 g); With rubber bands: 3.0 oz (85 g)
最軽量は Titanium + silicone band (たぶん同梱) の組み合わせ？
別途、nylon strap を購入してそれを Titanium に付けると若干軽量化されるかも、、、若干(笑)

Garmin® introduces three new fēnix® 3 Sapphire multisport watches featuring wrist heart rate, new activity profiles and more band options OLATHE, Kan. /January 5, 2016/Business Wire — Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd.
(NASDAQ: GRMN), today announced an update to the fēnix 3 multisport watches that includes Garmin Elevate wrist-based heart rate technology, additional activity profiles and new, stylish watch bands.The three new sapphire-lens options include a premium version featuring a titanium bezel and band, a version with easily interchangeable leather and nylon straps, and a version touting Garmin Elevate wrist-based heart rate. All watches are also getting a software update with new activity profiles for golf, stand up paddleboarding and rowing, as well as the latest advanced running dynamics and physiological measurements. This free update will be available to all current fēnix 3 owners, so all fēnix 3 users can download the new profiles. These watches are being announced in conjunction with the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, and will be showcased at the Garmin booth, #35811.
“As one of our most popular watches, we’re thrilled to offer new fēnix 3 devices to consumers,” said Dan
Bartel, Garmin vice president of worldwide sales. “We’re excited to bring Garmin Elevate technology to
the fēnix line, and the updated leather and titanium versions will appeal to users no matter if they’re
hitting the trails, the boardroom, and now even the golf course.”
Boasting a full multisport and navigational toolset, fēnix 3 is also stylish enough to go from the trail to the office. The new genuine leather and nylon bands are easily interchangeable with no additional tools required, making switching back and forth a breeze. The premium titanium bezel and band looks sharp
while also reducing weight and improving durability.
Now featuring Garmin Elevate wrist-based heart rate technology, fēnix 3 HR users now have the freedom to measure heart rate 24/7 at the wrist. Fēnix 3 HR users can get credit for their workouts and extra effort with the Intensity Minutes. By tracking daily Intensity Minutes, users can monitor their progress against weekly aerobic activity goals recommended by leading health organizations like he American Heart Association, World Health Organization, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Depending on settings, fēnix 3 HR can get up to 40 hours of battery life in UltraTrac mode, 16 hours in
GPS training mode, 3 weeks in watch mode and 2 weeks in smartwatch mode.
Building off the previous version of advanced running dynamics like cadence, vertical oscillation and ground contact time; fēnix 3 users will be able to utilize more data and physiological measurements1.
The new metrics include:
• Stride Length: Measures the length of a runner’s stride in real time.
• Ground Contact Time Balance: Measures a runner’s ground contact symmetry, which some runners have found to correlate with injuries or strength imbalances.
• Vertical Ratio: The cost-benefit ratio of vertical oscillation to stride length, serving as one indictor of a runner’s efficiency.
• Lactate Threshold: Estimates the level of effort at which fatigue rapidly increases in terms of a runner’s heart rate and pace.
• Stress Score: Measures heart rate variability to make an assessment of a user’s overall level of stress.
• Performance Condition: Provides a real-time fitness-level measurement relative to a runner’s average baseline, which indicates performance readiness for the day’s workout or race.
All current fēnix 3 owners will have access to a software update that will include the updated advanced running dynamics, as well as new activity profiles for golf, SUP and rowing. With the recently updated Garmin Connect mobile app, users can download more than 40,000 worldwide golf courses for precise course data and use their watch as a digital scorecard. With the new SUP/Rowing mode, users can measure their paddle stroke count, stroke rate and distance per stroke to gauge their efficiency. The fēnix 3 software update will come preloaded on new units and will is available for current users to download now.
The new fēnix 3 models will still be compatible with the Connect IQ platform for endless customization options. Through the Connect IQ store in the Garmin Connect mobile app, users can download any of the free apps, widgets, watch faces or data fields so their fēnix 3 can suit their individual needs.

いまベータ版ソフトウェアでテストされているもの* (The new metrics include の箇所) もすべて含まれています。
* 今のところ要 HRM-Run 装着なので Optical HR モデルでも HRM-Run を装着しないと測定できないと思います(推測) すでにその測定機能が正式搭載されている FR630 でも要 HRM-Run 装着です。
あっ、あけましておめでとうございます 
今年もどうぞよろしくお願いいたします。
