Good watch.

Not sure if I have to much options going but I am not getting anywhere close to the battery life that was advertised. Watch is big but with the nylon strap it isn’t too heavy. But if you switch it out then the watch does feel heavy. Watch has been hit or miss on my sleep tracking. Overall it is a good watch.

The watch is great but the Connect app ruins it

The Garmin Enduro 3 is one of the most capable endurance sports watches I’ve used. The battery life is incredible, the GPS accuracy is rock solid, and it provides a huge range of performance metrics during training. On long runs, hikes, or multi-day adventures, the watch never lets me down. The build quality feels premium, the display is easy to read in all conditions, and the onboard features cover everything an endurance athlete could want.
The problem is the Garmin Connect app. It feels like it hasn’t been updated in years. The interface is dated, cluttered, and unintuitive. Even simple tasks require too many steps. Creating a route, for example, takes about five separate actions buried in menus that are not logically organized. It’s frustrating, especially when other platforms make this quick and seamless.
The overall design of the app looks old, with layouts and icons that feel like early smartphone software. Navigation is not natural, and there’s a steep learning curve for features that should be obvious. Garmin needs to take a page from Whoop’s playbook when it comes to interface design. Whoop’s app is clean, modern, and incredibly easy to navigate, with the important information front and center instead of buried behind layers of menus.
When I compare Garmin Connect to something like the Coros app, the difference is huge. The hardware is outstanding, but the software makes me seriously consider switching. If Garmin redesigned the Connect app with a clean, modern interface and faster, more intuitive workflows—something closer to Whoop—they’d have an unbeatable combination. Until then, it’s amazing hardware paired with software that feels far behind the competition.

I have everything apple but wanted to try this out because the battery life was better. I absolutely love this watch so much better. Only thing that I may miss is getting calls on my watch but I hardly ever used that feature anyway. Battery life is amazing.

Never looking back...

I have to admit, I was skeptical to purchase the Enduro 3 due to the size of this watch but despite my fears, I went ahead and jumped ship to the Enduro 3 from the Forerunner 945. First and foremost, is this watch big, yes... It's a bit thicker and of course, the watch face is a bit larger. Do I really notice? No... and the few times I have noticed, the additional features, insane battery life, better performance tracking & awesome strap make up for it immediately. This watch is a must have if you are serious about performance tracking or endurance sports. Love it!

I love that the watch records my workouts and I can go back and read or edit my workouts in the app on my phone.

Great watch!

Excellent watch for all outdoor activities. Big step up from Fenix 3. Didn’t need the Fenix 8 and this watch provides almost everything the 8 does. The screen, colors, and touch screen provide more than enough. Battery life is crazy good. GPS is spot on for running, hiking and biking. Personal data from sleep to endurance scores have been very helpful. Was not sure I would like the strap but I will never use another. Very light watch compared to the Fenix 3. Love the watch.

Have had it a month and it’s everything I need in training watch. And it’s nice being able to see the amount of steps I take in a day outside of training
