Great watch for long battery life and ease of use. Can see the display in all light conditions and the touch screen works when you want. So much lighter than my fénix 5x.

Great battery life!!

I have had my enduro 3 for about two weeeks now. I have had the enduro and enduro 2. I can honestly say the feature set and battery life of the enduro 3 is excellent. So far I have done 11 activities and as it sets I have 36 days of estimated battery life left. Most excellent watch, if you are looking for a Garmin watch don’t pass it up!!!!

Great features & battery life

Battery life:
To preface this, I have had an competitors watch the past few years and enjoyed it, however the battery life wouldnt get me through the day. I received my enduro 3 two weeks ago and i still have an estimated 9 days left on my battery! The solar charging works pretty well especially if you spend time outdoors, although it also charges when you’re driving if it’s in the sun. Overall very happy with the battery life.
Watch size:
This was my biggest worry when buying this watch. I had a 44mm watch before and upgraded to this one which was a 51mm and i wasnt sure how it would fit. While large the watch ended up fitting pretty well on my wrist. I wish there was a way to test out the size before hand for better piece of mind.
Features:
Fantastic features, it feels like it is better calibrated to what I do than my previous watch. I thought it was a gimmick, but the flash light is actually great! No longer need to find my phone to walk around in the dark. I love the red light feature also!
Overall, I wouldnt change anything about this watch so far. I would absolutely recommend if you are looking for a long lasting watch that has most of garmins great features. I will absolutely buy another Garmin if I ever need one.

I bought this about a month ago and so far really enjoy its features. Everything is relatively easy to figure out. I’m not as impressed trying to upload a trail on a map. It seems like this portions needs more work

After 2.5 years with Apple Watch Ultra...
on April 17, 2025
Posted by: TABos
....I finally broke as the battery would probably not quite last a very long run with music. I wanted to stop having to think about battery and charging early morning to make sure it will last a long run + a full day.
So -- got the Enduro 3.
I view the change as having a few extremes. Some things are so much better on Apple and others so much better on Garmin.
Pros:
- Much better look. I hate the square Apple watch and I love the rugged Garmin look
- Battery
- I think the overall data / coaching aspect when in a training plan ahead of an event is significantly better on Garmin

Cons:
- The screen graphics (not a big thing for me, I thought) is woeful. It reminds me graphic calculators from high school 25 years ago.
- The app store environment. I am very unhappy with the watch face options. The whole thing looks very unprofessional.
- Integration with Apple Health on my iPhone. I didn't research this since I assumed Garmin data will flow through seamlessly. A bunch of the data doesn't flow through. E.g. HRV, wrist temp, respiratory rate, VO2 Max. The Apple Vitals are no longer useable.
- I should haven realized this ahead of time. The solar ring actually takes up a lot of watch face space

Overall -- I think the Garmin is better for me. It comes down to the battery and the look.

This Is the One !

The Enduro 3 rocks !!! I switched from Apple Ultra. Have to admit that I miss the tight Apple integration - Calendar, Reminders, and the ability to respond to txt message on Apple Watch - but those items are offset by the insane battery life and extensive training metrics. I get about 14 to 15 days from each charge cycle. Body Battery and Sleep Coach have given me insights I didn't know I needed, and Garmin has "Connect", a proper web based application to dive into the extensive training stats, and you can actually download / export the data. Highly recommend the Enduro 3. Get it !!
