Heavy. Taking some time to get used to the weight as I previously had a forerunner

Best Watch Ever!
on November 28, 2025
Posted by: Kevin D
I upgraded from a Garmin Fenix 6 to the Enduro 3 because I was heading out on a 12-day backpacking trek at Philmont, and I knew the Fenix wouldn’t hold enough charge. The Enduro 3 turned out to be the perfect choice—not just for the battery life, but for how it supported me day-to-day on the trail.
Even with daily GPS tracking at Philmont, I never had to stop and recharge. Solar + optimized power modes easily carried me through the full 12 days. This alone was a huge upgrade from my Fenix 6.
I love how the watch gives a quick, clear morning snapshot—sleep, readiness, weather, sunrise—so I know what kind of day I’m walking into.
At night, the evening summary helps me wind down, review my stats, and check tomorrow’s conditions. These touchpoints became part of my daily routine.

Light weight and super comfortable

Got this a couple of weeks ago to replace my still functioning 935, it’s light and disappears on my wrist. The built in light is invaluable and I use it in strobe mode for my morning runs. It’s easy to set up the way I want it and ignore all the features I care nothing about, it doesn’t seem like a big watch at all, I wear it 24/7.
It’s perfect for me even though I’m not anything but a casual runner doing 9-12 miles a week.

Massive, but incredible watch
on December 3, 2025

This watch does everything - I bought it for the long battery life and solar charging because it is one of the few watches that has Adventure Race mode (required for racing). It outperformed my expectations and provides me with endless stats. The only problem is that it is absolutely massive on my wrist. I'm petite, and it looks like a dive watch on me. It rubbed the skin on my wrist raw the first few days of a multi-day race, and I still can't wear it when I'm mountain biking unless I have long gloves on to protect my hand. Even when I slide it up on my forearm, it's still too big and bulky, and hurts my hand.
That being said, this watch has every feature I need and more I never knew I wanted. I can track sleep, recovery, altitude acclimation (awesome when I was mountaineering in Nepal), training recommendations, navigation, and especially Adventure Race mode so I can track our course and learn from mistakes we made. The long battery life was necessary because I often cannot recharge it for 3+ days, and this watch lasts, even recording activities for days. It's the best battery life I've ever seen, and I can go weeks without charging if I only use it for daily workouts and have it on all day and night for SpO2 and heart rate and respirations.
I would only recommend this to expert athletes who do multi-day endurance sports. Otherwise, buy a smaller watch and charge it more frequently.

Excellent battery life!

I have a friend at Garmin, so I tried out a Fenix 8 Amoled, a Fenix 8 Pro Solar and the Enduro 3 before finally settling on the Enduro. I had a lot of hands-on time with each and although I love the look of the Fenix, especially the Amoled, the battery life of the Enduro 3 is what clinched the deal for me. I use my watch extensively in the outdoors and I couldn't be happier!
