I love that the watch records my workouts and I can go back and read or edit my workouts in the app on my phone.

I have everything apple but wanted to try this out because the battery life was better. I absolutely love this watch so much better. Only thing that I may miss is getting calls on my watch but I hardly ever used that feature anyway. Battery life is amazing.

The watch is great but the Connect app ruins it
on August 8, 2025

The Garmin Enduro 3 is one of the most capable endurance sports watches I’ve used. The battery life is incredible, the GPS accuracy is rock solid, and it provides a huge range of performance metrics during training. On long runs, hikes, or multi-day adventures, the watch never lets me down. The build quality feels premium, the display is easy to read in all conditions, and the onboard features cover everything an endurance athlete could want.
The problem is the Garmin Connect app. It feels like it hasn’t been updated in years. The interface is dated, cluttered, and unintuitive. Even simple tasks require too many steps. Creating a route, for example, takes about five separate actions buried in menus that are not logically organized. It’s frustrating, especially when other platforms make this quick and seamless.
The overall design of the app looks old, with layouts and icons that feel like early smartphone software. Navigation is not natural, and there’s a steep learning curve for features that should be obvious. Garmin needs to take a page from Whoop’s playbook when it comes to interface design. Whoop’s app is clean, modern, and incredibly easy to navigate, with the important information front and center instead of buried behind layers of menus.
When I compare Garmin Connect to something like the Coros app, the difference is huge. The hardware is outstanding, but the software makes me seriously consider switching. If Garmin redesigned the Connect app with a clean, modern interface and faster, more intuitive workflows—something closer to Whoop—they’d have an unbeatable combination. Until then, it’s amazing hardware paired with software that feels far behind the competition.

Good watch.

Not sure if I have to much options going but I am not getting anywhere close to the battery life that was advertised. Watch is big but with the nylon strap it isn’t too heavy. But if you switch it out then the watch does feel heavy. Watch has been hit or miss on my sleep tracking. Overall it is a good watch.

Garmin Enduro 3 - Battery Beast!
on August 11, 2025
Posted by: Ed N
I started my Garmin journey with the Fenix 6, then the Fenix 6X solar, then the Epix Pro Gen2, then the Venu X1, and now the Enduro 3. I've had the Enduro 3 for two weeks now, recorded a bunch of bike rides and walks, what an Amazing watch! The battery life is awesome! I'm at 14 days left of battery even with multiple GPS activities. Even coming from the AMOLED watches, the screen is crisp and easily viewable, even moreso during bright sunny days. I was getting full sun during my activities, and on my 2-3 hour bike rides the solar was actually making a difference. The data this watch records is always Garmin spot-on. Body Battery, Sleep Tracking, HRV, Pulse OX, the list goes on and on. Oh and did I mention the built in Flashlight. I absolutely love this watch!

Upgraded from a Fenix 6 pro solar, so having all the new features is great but so far the battery life is amazing.

Solid Feature Set
on August 25, 2025

Wanted best Solar performance. Getting it here. Great readability of the display, and a good bit of customization options by going 3rd party. Mapping very good and GPS performance is strong and fast.
On the downside, band is an instant non-starter. Easily replaced. Manual is clunky. Solar Intensity - How to display... Manual is useless. Found it by accident. Also, lots of reports and "achievements" that have to be turned off.
