Far Better Than My Apple Ultra 2
on January 31, 2025
Posted by: PjMack
Features needed without all the unwanted. Battery life puts all others to shame. Was holding out for a possible new tactical ballistics watch, which would be fantastic, but willing to cut my teeth on the Enduro 3 until that becomes a reality. Extremely happy with the Enduro 3.

Big step up from a fenix6
on February 1, 2025
Posted by: Phucn
Bought this to upgrade a fenix 6 over a fenix 8. Happy with it so far. I still struggle with wrist heart rate accuracy but the battery and solar are brilliant don't need to charge it anywhere near as often as the 6. Very happy.

The Green King of all GPS watches
on February 5, 2025
Posted by: John A
I thought my 955S was the best watch out but after 2 weeks with the enduro 3 I am BLOWN away! This watch has even more data rich features to analyze my runs and training progress along with the infinite battery life and flashlight (thought it was a gimmick but it is so handy to have on your wrist). My only gripe would be the gaudy silicone watch bands(I wanted something like the FR955/965) and the green accent. In all honesty if they made this watch without the green on the face and button it would be the perfect watch. But since it’s green I’ve decided to lean into it with green font and green coros strap since the garmin once are not to my liking.

Perfect watch for anything outdoors. Solar function works great. Touchscreen is useful, more than I thought. Also love the light, comes in handy.

Really great

Fantastic watch! If you aren’t dead set on AMOLED, consider getting this one. Pretty much all the features of the Fenix line at a better price. The only things missing are the speaker and mic for calls and music, but I have earbuds for that anyway. I can’t wait for summer so I can see how long the battery lasts with solar. It’s a big watch, but it seems like the right size for how it looks- I can’t quite explain it.

My third Garmin, after trying other watches.
on February 11, 2025
Posted by: DCS866
I've had a Fenix 3, a Fenix 5, a Bulova Precisionist, a Citizen Eco-Drive, a high-end ProTrek, and two Apple Watches in the last several years. In a way, the Apple Watches were way ahead of everyone else, in that they can do EVERYTHING. At the same time, though, the Apples were a little fragile, and are tightly tethered to being recharged. The Eco-Drive and the ProTrek had the advantage of solar power, which allows them to keep going when the power is out for extended periods, including cataclysms of various sorts, but they didn't do very many things, including no heart rate.
I don't remember now why I sold the Fenix 5, but I remember being impressed with its durable construction, its multiplied resources for exercise and outdoor use, plus amazing battery life. Garmin has been working on solar power for several years, now, and the new Enduro 3 maximizes battery life plus it has the same software and capabilities of the Fenix 8--with the exception of a MIP screen instead of AMOLED, no speaker or microphone, and no diving capabilities (though it is waterproof to 10 ATM). Some reviewers say the Enduro 3 is the best watch Garmin has ever made.
I encourage you to check the specs on the Enduro 3. It really is quite remarkable. It's light, and easy to wear all the time. It's G-Shock quality, with sapphire glass and all the bells and whistles of Garmin's latest OS. It would be nice to have the glitter of AMOLED, but those screens eat batteries, and battery life was my central criterion. I also wanted a digital watch, not an analog one, and satellite nav with good maps. Check.
The Garmin store can't be compared to Apple's for add-ons, but I have found the Falcon Z and the BIG EASY watch faces to provide all the customization I really need. Yes, it's expensive, but I've paid as much for watches before and gotten much less.

Epic Watch
on February 18, 2025
Posted by: Logan E
This watch was everything I was looking for and more. It has great data for tracking my splitboard activities and has unbelievable battery life. Coming from an apple watch, I was sick of all the notifications and sub par tracking features, not to mention the battery dies on bigger days. This watch has fixed all those and more. Looking forward to putting some bigger days down with this
