Best watch for endurance/max battery enthusiasts!
on February 28, 2025
Posted by: TonyPr
A couple of weeks after getting this watch and I must say I am pretty impressed. As an endurance runner, the Enduro 3 has all the features I need and want. I upgraded from a Coros Vertix 2S, which is also a fine watch, but doesn't have all the features that Garmin has. I think the Enduro 3 is the best MIP screen product in the market. From within the available Garmin options (Fenix 7 or 8 amoled/solar, etc.), the Enduro 3 is the watch to get if max battery life is important to you and you don't care about microphones, taking calls on your watch or diving features.

Great battery life

The watch never dies. It had all the health and fitness features I want. Looking forward to using it on the golf course. I get text and phone notifications. Downside is that I can’t send an audible signal to my iPhone.

I have been very happy with this purchase. It's been my first Garmin watch so there is a bit of a learning curve and I know that's so many features i haven't discovered yet, but this watch really is incredible.

Enduro 3
on February 23, 2025
Posted by: Charles Cottrell
I was a denizens 5x user and switched to COROS for battery. COROS is good but as the adage goes, “it’s not a Garmin” holds true. Love everything about this Enduro 3. Just wish Garmin Connect could compete with COROS App.

Epic Watch
on February 18, 2025
Posted by: Logan E
This watch was everything I was looking for and more. It has great data for tracking my splitboard activities and has unbelievable battery life. Coming from an apple watch, I was sick of all the notifications and sub par tracking features, not to mention the battery dies on bigger days. This watch has fixed all those and more. Looking forward to putting some bigger days down with this

My third Garmin, after trying other watches.
on February 11, 2025
Posted by: DCS866
I've had a Fenix 3, a Fenix 5, a Bulova Precisionist, a Citizen Eco-Drive, a high-end ProTrek, and two Apple Watches in the last several years. In a way, the Apple Watches were way ahead of everyone else, in that they can do EVERYTHING. At the same time, though, the Apples were a little fragile, and are tightly tethered to being recharged. The Eco-Drive and the ProTrek had the advantage of solar power, which allows them to keep going when the power is out for extended periods, including cataclysms of various sorts, but they didn't do very many things, including no heart rate.
I don't remember now why I sold the Fenix 5, but I remember being impressed with its durable construction, its multiplied resources for exercise and outdoor use, plus amazing battery life. Garmin has been working on solar power for several years, now, and the new Enduro 3 maximizes battery life plus it has the same software and capabilities of the Fenix 8--with the exception of a MIP screen instead of AMOLED, no speaker or microphone, and no diving capabilities (though it is waterproof to 10 ATM). Some reviewers say the Enduro 3 is the best watch Garmin has ever made.
I encourage you to check the specs on the Enduro 3. It really is quite remarkable. It's light, and easy to wear all the time. It's G-Shock quality, with sapphire glass and all the bells and whistles of Garmin's latest OS. It would be nice to have the glitter of AMOLED, but those screens eat batteries, and battery life was my central criterion. I also wanted a digital watch, not an analog one, and satellite nav with good maps. Check.
The Garmin store can't be compared to Apple's for add-ons, but I have found the Falcon Z and the BIG EASY watch faces to provide all the customization I really need. Yes, it's expensive, but I've paid as much for watches before and gotten much less.

Really great
on February 6, 2025

Fantastic watch! If you aren’t dead set on AMOLED, consider getting this one. Pretty much all the features of the Fenix line at a better price. The only things missing are the speaker and mic for calls and music, but I have earbuds for that anyway. I can’t wait for summer so I can see how long the battery lasts with solar. It’s a big watch, but it seems like the right size for how it looks- I can’t quite explain it.
