Love this watch, super light for its size and incredible battery life, like for real! Being a bigger watch I would say is pretty comfortable to sleep with if sleep tracking is something you are looking for.
Good sport watch but unable to upload music from iTunes. Music that I put into my laptop. Tried several times and no music gets transferred or uploaded.

I go way back to the Fenix 2. I have also had the MIPs and OLED. I needed a watch with the newest sensors buy had no need for the dive features on the Fenix 8. New UI is still being polished but I am willing to invest the time since it is in the right direction. Excelling battery life and great response to the solar charging
I'm really happy with my Enduro 3. It's my first Garmin smartwatch coming previously from Apple. The battery life is amazing and all the health tracking and fitness features. Would definately recommend. The Fenix 8 series is also great for those that prefer the AMOLED type displays.
Love the extra battery life compared to my Fenix 7, but the software glitches are terrible. They definitely released this too soon. The fact that even with social media/mail notifications turned off, they still pop up during activities is almost unbearable. I’ve been contemplating returning the watch and going back to my Fenix.

The Garmin Enduro 3 has been a game-changer for me, especially as someone who’s focused on endurance running and outdoor activities. Its battery life is nothing short of amazing—I’ve never had to worry about charging, even during my longest runs or hikes. The solar charging adds even more peace of mind, giving me up to 150 hours of GPS use, which is perfect for my longer sessions and races.
The watch itself feels incredibly durable with its titanium bezel, yet it’s surprisingly lightweight. I barely notice it on my wrist during runs, and the nylon strap is super comfortable. The large display is easy to read, whether I’m out in the midday sun or in low-light conditions.
What I really appreciate are the training insights—VO2 max, heart rate monitoring, and especially the recovery recommendations. It’s helped me optimize my training and rest days to ensure I’m not overtraining. I also use the Pulse Ox sensor regularly, especially on hikes or when I’m at higher altitudes.
The navigation features have been a huge plus for me. The built-in topographic maps and ClimbPro function have come in handy during trail runs and when I’m exploring new routes. I also love the ease of tracking my performance over time, which has helped me improve my pace and endurance.
If you’re serious about endurance sports or just love spending time outdoors, the Garmin Enduro 3 is hands down one of the best investments you can make. Its battery life, combined with its wide range of advanced features, make it a standout companion for any adventure.
I live and breathe in this thing. It serves all my multi-sport needs from fishing, to hiking and running. It tracks my sleep, knows when i get anxious and tells me if i've had taxing day. It's like a girlfriend that narrates my world, but way nicer ;)
