Incredible

Battery life is insane. Even with running about 40 miles a week I barely make a dent on the battery life and the solar actually works.

If you're reading this buy the watch already
on April 22, 2025
Posted by: Nash W
I got this watch a few months ago and it haven't regretted it for a moment. First things first, I have only had to charge it 3 times since I bought it back at the beginning of the year (like 3-4 months ago!) the battery's life is phenomenal. I got this watch because I wanted to get back into shape and decided to start running, swimming, biking, etc. And this watch has been amazing for that! Not only does it track my activities accurately (and auto upload them to Strava) it provides recommendations of workouts to do, and lets me set up weight room workouts for cross training days. I feel healthier and happier since getting this watch not due entirely to it but due to the lifestyle that came with it. If you made it this far do yourself a favor and just buy the watch already, you won't regret it.

Hits all the marks!
on April 22, 2025
Posted by: Michael S
As an Apple Watch user since nearly the original release, I realized I was paying enough monthly fees to get the Apple Watch to give me the kind of insights and features that come free with the Garmin to justify exploring whether it makes sense to cancel all of them and make the switch.
My primary activities are lifting, hiking, golf -- and increasingly running.
I didn't realize how much more motivating the Garmin infrastructure would be to drive my fitness to new heights.
I valued getting phone notifications on my wrist with the Apple Watch, but I rarely took actions on the watch. It usually served as a reason to ignore the buzzing phone or to grab the phone and take action. In this use case, the Garmin shines and even basic interactions like responding "OK" or "Yes"/"No" to a text have been fine. Apple Watch has a more robust app store, for sure, but with the built-in functionality of the Garmin watch, I don't really miss it.
The insights I get from the Garmin are far superior than what I had cobbled together with several subscription apps. The Garmin Morning Report feels indispensable. The ability to set cardio training based on specific races coming up has been great and pushed me to train differently -- and resulted in a personal best effort in my latest race.
Battery life is insane. I'm doing a LOT of activities and it looks like about 3+ weeks between charges will be the norm.
I did a lab test for VO2 Max, heart rate zones, etc. The Garmin was within a small rounding error vs the lab studies. The lab tech geeked out with me comparing the two, and he said he is going to consider swapping his Apple Watch Ultra 2 for a Garmin after seeing how they stacked up.
The only disappointment is the strength training interface. I'm still using my Fitbod app -- the only app I continue to subscribe to that I had hoped to replace. Hopefully Garmin will make an acquisition and elevate this tracking in the future.
I am happy with the MIP display and prefer it over AMOLED. The size is totally fine and I sleep with it every night. Took a few days to get used to wearing it 24/7.
In all honesty, the Enduro 3 is overkill for my needs as a mid-40s dude who exercises but it's spot on for my wants.

Battery Beast
on April 24, 2025
Posted by: gbold3
After 3 weeks of use, it's very obvious the Enduro 3 has fantastic battery life. After two weeks of heavy use, daily workouts of 1-4 hours and I still had 20% battery left. The MIP screen is great and beautiful to use outside. 3rd party watch faces work well, many don't effect the battery compared to the ones provided in the watch. Highly recommended.

Amazing Features!
on April 28, 2025
Posted by: KaiKai
I purchased the Enduro 3 for the GPS, winter sport categories, training feedback, and battery life. I am amazed at the amount of information this thing provides! I've been wearing it for 3 weeks and I still have a 14 day battery charge left! I've tracked backcountry ski tours, snowshoeing, hiking, cycling, and running and have found the data to be extremely accurate. I know I've only scratched the surface of what this watch can provide but that's the beauty of it too - you can use it straight out of the box without too much brain damage or you can meticulously plow through all the advanced features. The watch feels weightless on my wrist and the oversize face is easy to read. I love this Enduro 3!

Great Watch and Upgraded Interface
on April 29, 2025
Posted by: Gabriel P
I thoroughly enjoy this watch. The battery is impressive. The updated interface is refreshing—coming from a six pro—and user-friendly. The included software features are great, and the ability to add more via ConnectIQ is very useful.
The topo mapping is extremely useful for adventures in unfamiliar environments. I’ve used the pre downloaded map numerous times to find the trail when things got more adventurous than anticipated.

Battery Life Beast
on May 3, 2025
Posted by: James M
I've been using the watch the past few weeks and I've been very impressed. I use it for daily workouts, runs and mountain biking. I was coming from an instinct 2 and really enjoy the larger screen,added features and battery life. Sensor accuracy and battery life where my main reasons for changing over but the added functions are a huge bonus. I am also very impressed with its durability as I've knocked it off a few things and still looks new.
Id recommend this to others that want all the functions (not diving) of the fenix but care more about battery life.
