Ive had this watch for some time now and although it truly is a great watch I wanted it for the batterie life and that does not live up to what is stated on the website. I don't do very long activities. One run a day so my recording is not consuming too much. I keep my brightness on low with a lock screen time of 8 seconds. Ive googled all the recommended setting changes for extending the life of my batterie and I still get about 10 days of batterie life. I work all day out in the sun and the solar is constantly getting sunlight and it has had no effect on helping my battery stay charged or charge the batterie itself. Still I would recommend this watch for the great design and capabilities but the batterie life is not what is promised.
this is my first garmin watch. and surely not the last. i ride dirt bike and emtb so long lasting battery life is important. that s why i picked this model.
I had a Garmin Fenix 5S for 7 years and loved it. I finally upgraded and chose the enduro over the new fenix because of the weight alone. ITS SO LIGHT WEIGHT. I am a female with smaller wrists and was slightly worried about the 51mm face. My fenix was a 51 as well, but I was still concerned with the easy fit band it may seem bigger? I was wrong, it's definitley a big face, but doesn't bother me at all. It doesn't dig into my wrist and the band is SO NICE and easy on and off. I'm telling you, if you want a do it all watch that is also light weight, this is the one. The Battery life is insane and I charge it maybe once every 2 weeks, with doing an hour+ activity daily. Awesome data and features.

My first Garmin Smart Watch and I love it. Cant believe it took me this long.,
This fitness tracker is far superior to my Apple Watch. It precisely accomplishes my fitness goals and provides exceptionally valuable insights following workouts. I also appreciate the solar power feature, which was a deciding factor in my decision to switch. If you’re seeking specific health reports after any workouts, this tracker is an excellent choice.

This smart watch is really good looking and also the battery life is great. Mtb, gym and snowboarding so far so good.
I have now had the Enduro 3 for about a month. I used the Fenix 6X Pro for about 5 years and thought it was time to upgrade. The first thing I noticed when I took it out of the box was how much lighter it was. Unbelievable change. The battery is awesome - haven’t done a full charge since charging it when I first opened it. I run about 15 miles a week and it has performed great. I didn’t need the extras that came with the Fenix 8 and I am glad I chose the Enduro 3. It still has an awesome screen size, some scrolling features, and the screen itself is great. I do track sleep etc and have appreciated the training readiness score along with endurance score. I like the nylon strap better than the strap that came with the Fenic 6. It is light, not scratchy, and I don’t know it is even there. Bought an additional strap I was so impressed. If you are ready for an upgrade and don’t need the extras of the Fenix 8 this is a great watch.
