Best Garmin Yet
on November 4, 2025
Posted by: HiggySr
I have had my Enduro 3 for about a month and I love everything about it. Easy to customize data, data seems very accurate, easy to use for day to day training. I have raced once with it and I was very happy with the operation.

Great EDC watch
on November 5, 2025
Posted by: JRob22
The Enduro 3 It replaced an instinct solar (still running flawlessly). It’s very large, but that brings more surface area and screen customization. I do not enable 24/7 HR, O2, notifications, etc. I turn them on as needed. This gets me about 60+ days of battery in between charges. The GPS is fast to sync. The ABC features are accurate. The flashlight is indispensable.

Great watch. I use it for trail runs and marathon training in Colorado. The GPS is very accurate and locks on quickly. The map is helpful for finding marked paths and retracing my steps. The battery lasts a long time, which is one of its best features. I can go for several weeks without worrying about charging. It’s comfortable to wear and doesn’t feel heavy despite the size. If you have small wrists it can be pretty large and possibly awkward to wear.

Excellent watch
on November 12, 2025
Posted by: Riley V
Switched to this enduro 3 from a series 10 apple watch and I will never go back. It took me a little while to get used to the menus/connect app that go along with it, but it wasn't too hard to figure out. Battery life is excellent (35+ days) compared to my apple watch which could barely make it through a day. It has way more features than I will ever need, but I wanted the solar charging and long battery life. For someone that is looking for more of an exercise watch, this is an excellent choice. If you're just looking for smart watch features (calls/music/notifications), there may be better options for less money.

Lightweight and LONG battery life
on November 13, 2025
Posted by: Puskas
I received my Enduro 3 20 days ago. As I look at the face it still shows ten (10) days of battery life remaining since the initial charge (full charge out of the box).
I wear the watch 24-hours per day and do around 90 minutes of activity per day (mix of running, cycling, indoor training). So, I'm feeling pretty confident it will live up to its battery life claims.
I'm not a big guy and I was surprised how the larger (51mm) watch face does NOT interfere with my wrist at all. With the watch's light weight, it is just not noticeable when being worn (a positive).
The HR, GPS, and other metrics are comparing well to my other devices and I remain confident this device will carry me through some epic adventures in 2026 (100k run, 12 hour cycling events, and some multi-day activities in the mountains).

A sober assessment of battery life
on November 16, 2025
Posted by: Happy Heart
While it's true that the battery lasts basically forever if you're not using the GPS, what I found during a long thru hike this summer was that the battery will last 4-5 days if I'm using the GPS in SatIQ mode for 10-14 hours per day in full sun. It's very big, but it's light which helps. I would switch between my left and my right wrists once or twice per day.

Function over form FTW
on November 19, 2025
Posted by: Michael G
I've had all three versions of the Enduro and loved them all. The lowered weight is more noticeable than you'd think, as is the screen improvement.
I'm definitely a user that prefers function over form for watches which is why the battery life has kept this model as my daily watch. I've also used it in multiple multi-day expedition races (5-8 days) and typically only have to charge it once.
I only take it off to charge and have no issues wearing it 24/7 otherwise. I don't use the smart notifications other than phone calls so can't speak to that function. I do use the music through YT music and the ability to have something to listen when you leave the phone at home is really nice.
For people that use their watch the same or similar to how I do, can't recommend it enough!
Oh, and the built in flashlight is SO much more handy than you would think at first if you've never had one on a watch.

Garmin's Hidden Gem
on November 20, 2025
Posted by: El_Jeferson
I just upgraded from the fenix 6X Pro and couldn't be happier. Even today, the fenix 6X is no slouch and remains a capable, relevant watch. The Enduro is definitely an upgrade and for me hits the sweet spot for features and cost. All the benefits of the fenix 8 solar but with amazing battery life and a lighter, more comfortable feel. Very happy with my purchase. Highly recommend.
