Enduro 3 1st weeks
on May 28, 2025
Posted by: Mario1981
Watch itself is very nice and light, nylon band is very good and little elastic, screen appears very good even when brightness is at 10%. Battery appears be less than advertised even with minimal usage and not all sensors working all the time, but overall happy with the purchase, but only 4 stars for now

Came from Ultra 2

Yes I debated MIP vs AMOLED. Just but the thing. No regrets at all, might be overkill for a casual athlete like me but 32 day battery life is worth it. Never had an issue with the screen not being visible in Florida. Sun is always out and bright.

Best to Date

Avid runner, golfer, occasional cyclist. Coming from a long list of Garmin watches for many years. Most recently Tactix 7. Chose the Enduro for price, battery life, wear comfort, and a preference for MIP displays. So far, I have been absolutely impressed with this unit. I can truly say that I forget I'm wearing it at times b/c it's just so light and comfortable. That's important to me as a runner and golfer. Being outdoors often it certainly benefits from solar and the new screen is very easily visible in sunlight compared to my previous watches with Amoled displays. Love the watch all around and think it'll be hard to top. 5 stars, no regrets!

Enduro 3
on June 10, 2025
Posted by: kevin93
Bought this watch just over 2 weeks ago and have taken it off for maybe 30 min in that time. very comfortable to wear all day, lighter weight than expected and nylon band is very comfortable. took me a couple of days to figure out how tight to strap the band and how high to place up my wrist but after some time and getting used to it, i forget i'm wearing it. i love all the data and customization on the watch faces/screens and ability to customize individual settings within activities. Battery life is exceptional, watch is reporting 19 days of battery left after wearing for 2 weeks and doing roughly an hour of "activity" each day. the flashlight feature is awesome when wearing it at night to quickly see something in the dark without pulling out my phone to turn on light, very handy, used it every day so far. MIP display is crisp and easy to see in the daylight, in the dark the backlight lights it up just fine. the one single item that i've noticed not working each time is the radar feature within the weather widget, sometimes the screen will divide into quadrants and flash white, black and grey before clearing up and showing the radar.
outside of that one item, i have yet to experience any issues, and would highly recommend this watch for someone prioritizing worry free battery life and tons of features if you like to nerd out on workout data both indoors and out.

Great Watch!

Upgraded from a Fenix 6 pro solar that I used for over 5 years. Was in between going to Fenix 8, but after many reviews, I elected for the Enduro 3. Nice big watch face, incredible battery life, and all the updates that come with a newer model, without the price tag of the Fenix 8. Would highly recommend!

Watch is fine - phone apps kills battery
on June 12, 2025
Posted by: dj200
The watch itself is fine, but the two phone apps "Connect" and "Connect Plus" constantly drained the battery on my iPhone 16 Pro. 80% battery usage in 24 hours. Even with "background app refresh" turned off. I've deleted the two apps and my iPhone is back to 4-5 days battery life. The Garmin software engineers need to take a class on iPhone battery management.

Never looking back...
on August 7, 2025

I have to admit, I was skeptical to purchase the Enduro 3 due to the size of this watch but despite my fears, I went ahead and jumped ship to the Enduro 3 from the Forerunner 945. First and foremost, is this watch big, yes... It's a bit thicker and of course, the watch face is a bit larger. Do I really notice? No... and the few times I have noticed, the additional features, insane battery life, better performance tracking & awesome strap make up for it immediately. This watch is a must have if you are serious about performance tracking or endurance sports. Love it!
