I love all the improvement. It’s monitors my heart rate a lot more consistently. The flashlight feature is great.

The best endurance watch on the market.
on January 22, 2025
Posted by: Kevin W
I recently switched from Apple Watch and have now worn it straight for three weeks.
First, let me address the size. At 51mm, this thing is huge. Except not really. My AW seems too tiny now so I suppose it's all relative. My wife also initially commented on how large it is and now says it doesn't seem as big as it did initially. My wrist measurement is a little under 17.5 inches for those that want comparison. If you're on the fence simply because of size, it isn't a big deal on this side of the purchase.
Second, the MIP screen. I think it's great. Coming from an always on smartphone on my wrist this is a welcome non distraction. I wear it to bed and it's easy to check the time in the middle of the night if I really want to. I hope Garmin continues to use these types of screens in their watches for the future.
Third, the battery life. It's ridiculous in the best way. I've charged it once in the three weeks I've had it and it's at 62% at this moment. I have it set to use SatIQ for my runs and it continuously checks my pulseOX at night. I'll have no issue on backpacking and hunting trips or traveling so that is one less cord to keep track of when out of the house.
The case is pretty durable. I run into things all the time and there are no scuffs, scratches, or any damage whatsoever.
Garmin has excellent metrics. This is a sports watch oriented at the endurance athlete. If you're coming from AW or some other smartwatch brand you'll be pleasantly surprised at the capabilities here. Read up on all the specs to b learn about all the sensors, measurements, and training programs on here. Too many to list in a single view but I'm getting a lot out of Garmin Coach, sleep coach and can't wait to try out the fishing data. Yes, fishing, who knew?

Exceptional

As an owner of many Fenix/Epix watches, I must say this model lives up to the name sake. I went away from MIP display when I got the Epix. I'm pleasantly surprised with how clear the Enduro screen is. It will never pop like AMOLED, but its much clearer than my Fenix 3/6/7 models. It's lighter weight too which is wonderful. The battery life is exceptional. Another wonderful watch by Garmin!

BEST FOR Value
on January 20, 2025
Posted by: BennyDA5ta
The Product is Perfect, how look , how I feel to working out and hunting , If u want all the feature from Fenix 8 without paying extra, if u don't mind.... like me, smartphone capabilities, go straight for ENDURO 3 , just keep in mind no Diving app here. I would love have a freediving app because I'm also spearfishing and I get this one, thinking have that feature, I used to have Fenix 5X plus Saffire and a paid freediving app and works perfectly now not in new Garmins

Great Watch!
on January 14, 2025
Posted by: Enduro 3 Watch
I have had the watch for about two weeks now and I absolutely love it. The designed look great, the features are fantastic. I been working out twice a day since I got it and have yet to charge it so that’s a huge feature that helps me out on my long runs and ultras. The nylon band is also great, it doesn’t feel tight like the rubber one. When I workout with the nylon band it feels good in my wrist. I have also used my rubber bands on this watch and they work great as well.

BATTERY DOES NOT READ ACCURATELY ENDURO3
on January 8, 2025
Posted by: LIMEJUICE
This started back in August around my birthday when the Enduro 3 was coming out. I was happy to upgrade from my fenix7 sapphire after the amazing experience I had. I was telling my father about all the features and especially the extensive battery performance. OR SO I thought.
Come Christmas and my father surprises with the Enduro 3 and I was so amazed with it out of the box. I put it on my wrist and see it reads 27d battery. I immediately begin to start telling my friends about how cool this is and show my father as he has the fore runner. By Jan 1 the battery read 6d and I immediately felt something was off. I email Garmin support and and per there instructions “update the maps and charge it to 100 and see the reading on battery.” I felt a little it was a little bizarre to update maps for a battery issue but I did it anyways and on the day the maps update was installed the battery was charged to 100% or 35d, on Jan 3rd. Fast forward to today Jan 8 the battery life is 11D it’s steadily losing 4 days in a single day and it’s all factory settings and pulse ox is not on all the time. Not to mention I don’t even wear it during work so it’s off for 8 hours a day… I’m extremely Disappointed over anything. I would just want to exchange this watch because I believe it’s this watch and not the product that’s is failing. Please reach out. I’m already in contact with support you can see the reference number ID per the email I’m using here.
