The best
on September 27, 2024
Posted by: Didnt think of naming it
I previously owned a vivoactive 4; and this watch is a huge upgrade. There are many more health features, the battery life is over 30 days of regular use, I couldn’t be happier with this purchase. The watch size seems totally appropriate, I was a little worried it would be too large, but it is not.

Enduro 3
on September 29, 2024
Posted by: Émile M.
I previously had an Enduro 2, the menu features are somewhat similar to the previous version, just a few changes here and there. I like the ECG feature and the message quick response capabilities. But mostly, while the overall diameter is still 51mm, there is much more space available in the watch face area, due to the repositioned solar receptors , resulting in more visibility overall.

Light Weight

I purchased this watch several months ago and have yet to charge it. It is so light and comfortable on my wrist that I forget it is there. The sports functions are wonderful.

Battery life is unbelievable
on October 1, 2024
Posted by: Drive Grit Determination
I bought this as an upgrade to my FR945, and have been extremely happy with my purchase. The battery lasts through weeks of workouts for me (4-5 days of 1 hour run with GPS and interval training workout, long run 3+ hours every weekend), and in the month or so that I've had it, I've only charged the watch twice. The touch screen is great, responds really well and has good haptic feedback. The nylon band is comfortable, the edges are surprisingly soft, and the velcro has held on well so far. For less than the Fenix, and only missing scuba features, with way more battery life, this is a no brainer for any endurance athlete.

Pretty sweet

Still learning all the functions. HRV appears to be better than my Whoop strap. Just started using training functionality and liking it. Mapping of trails and time on segments is more accurate. Battery life is amazing! Looking forward to testing custom watch faces.

This Is An Exceptional Watch
on October 3, 2024
Posted by: ScottRW
I purposely waited for this watch to be released and hoped it would arrive before my upcoming ultramarathon and it was a smart decision on my part. Overall, this watch absolutely exceeds my expectations.
Pros:
- Battery life is exceptional whether in smartwatch mode or when using GPS.
- Lightweight and comfortable (even when sleeping).
- Watch band is super comfortable and holds the watch securely.
- Provides a ton of data in both smartwatch mode and GPS mode.
- # of data screens for all activities are basically unlimited with so many fields to choose from with a variety of pre-defined formats to display the data.
- So many features that can quickly be accessed while on the move (alarm, timer, stopwatch, altimeter, barometer, compass, weather, etc.).
- The flashlight (multiple level white light with optional red light) is absolutely a game changer. You have no idea how much you need this feature until you have it. I use it everyday/night. Oh, and it has a strobe light feature, but I have not used that yet.
- The buttons have a good, firm feel to them and don't seem to get accidently pressed when putting on or taking off a backpack or running vest.
- User interface is pretty easy to navigate after an initial learning curve.
- Maps/Navigation feature is absolutely fantastic. My wife and I just spent a week in the Rocky Mtn. National Park and several times I had to reference this feature to ensure we were on track and it works extremely well. I hope to dive into more of the navigation features so I can really leverage all it has to offer.
Cons: (And, I hope Garmin takes note of these and makes some adjustments)
- The speaker is not very loud and the vibration not very intense, so it's easy to miss prompts during workouts, races, and even normal runs. As someone with partial hearing loss, this is extremely frustrating. I have not found any way to adjust these levels so far, but having this ability would be very helpful.
- The notification feature is driving me a bit crazy. I turned off notifications for things like "breaking news" or other prompts my phone would normally provide me. I still want to receive text prompts, but so far, I get everything on my watch and haven't figured out how to only get what I want.
- Some of the data displayed on the main screen is extremely small, which in my case requires reading glasses to see with my old eyes. This is also the case on other screens where there is definitely enough screen space to use a larger font size.

This is truly a great watch, yes it has a couple quirks, but overall, I consider this a smart purchase, a great value, and I HIGHLY recommend it!

Perfect for MIP Lovers
on October 3, 2024
Posted by: Ben44
I was trying to decide between the Enduro 3 and the Fenix 8 solar. I am confident that the Enduro 3 is the best watch for MIP fans. Battery lasts forever, the case is light, and the band is super comfortable. Another great product from Garmin.
