Why We Like The Garmin Enduro 3 Sport Watch
We eat pain for breakfast, so naturally we wear Garmin's Enduro 3 Sport Watch. When set in max battery GPS mode, this watch cannot die as long as it can harness the power of the sun throughout the day, which means we finally met our match. Challenge accepted. The lighter construction features a titanium bezel and crystal face that protect against impacts and scratches, and a soft, stretchy nylon band that wicks and breathes for optimal comfort to enhance that barely-there feel. As we chew up and spit out miles, the SatIQ tech keeps our location locked, the grade-adjusted pace and heart rate metrics help us manage our effort, and the built-in LED flashlight keeps the lights on when the sun goes down.

Incredible Tool for Ultra Endurance Athletes
I originally purchased the Fenix 8 47mm AMOLED. That watch is beautiful and amazing, no doubt, but after doing more research I realized the Enduro 3 was what I was more wanting in terms of battery life. Over the last few weeks I have put this watch through its paces, run (2) 50k ultramarathons, and utilized other things like the built-in flashlight (which is SUCH a clutch feature!) I still have 34% battery remaining, which is simply insane. Don't be alarmed by the larger size because it wears awesome. The MIP display is far superior in high sunlight. Solar charging is meh, but still, this watch is a battery BEAST!!! It's a great looking instrument and will be a training companion for a long time. Garmin nailed it with this one.

Battery life!!!
I received this watch as a birthday present from my kids prior to a 50 miler. I had done the research myself and somehow my son knew that this was the watch I hoped to get one day. The battery life on this thing is CRAZY! I charged it when I got it a few weeks ago. Used it with live tracking, full gps, Bluetooth the works during my ultra race. I have had full phone connectivity and have tracked several trail runs over the past few weeks. This thing is still at 45% battery life!? What!! If you are going off grid and need the assistance that your watch will carry you through, this is the one. Bar none, no other watch compares. Garmin Enduro 3 is a BEAST!

Ultras = Enduro 3
Great watch overall, battery of course, MIP display is MIP but even better than the past ones. Super light. The strap is the best. I got this as a gift from the wife and if it weren't for the path that Garmin is taking towards payment, this would be my one and only watch to recommend. Sadly...Garmin Connect+ will eventually make any expensive watch subscription based. Nonsense.

Incredible ultra running watch
All the features you want for long days in the mountains and none of the stuff you don't really need. Only downside at all is the watch is a bit large and heavy, but that's the price you pay for the battery life. I'm really enjoying the better accuracy of the gps/satellite systems and the built in flashlight is amazing!

I originally had the Fenix 7 and wanted to upgrade to the larger size. The Enduro 3 was a great choice compared to the Fenix 8 and still has all the same capabilities. The battery life on the Enduro 3 is the best on the market. This watch is great for anyone who is going to be pushing the limits outside on extended adventures!

Fabulous watch. Great feedback on the basics, but some information overload.

I am an active person who wanted to grab a smartwatch with GPS abilities. The Enduro 3 was perfect for me to have all the features that I've needed and no extras that felt unnecessary. I use it for my walks and bike commutes when I don't want to bring my cycling computer. The use of the quality sleep was another big positive for me. This is everything that I've wanted in a smartwatch and I would recommend it to anyone.

It’s lovely
I like it, but I had an issue with the strap—it made my skin itchy after a few days, so I already switched it to something else. I just wish there was a smaller version, maybe around 47mm, that’s better suited for smaller wrists

The perfect accessory for an active lifestyle
I love this watch. It has helped me understand my workouts, sleep, stress, & daily steps. The flashlight feature is so convenient. I have also been enjoying all the apps that you can integrate the watch with. I like garmin connect a lot and it has motivated me to get outside more! It fits great with the stock nylon strap and is comfortable. I always enjoying checking the solar intensity which helps the battery life. This is why I chose the Enduro 3 over the Fenix 8. I would rather my watch last longer than be able to speak into it, hear it, & have a brighter screen. I think the sapphire display on the enduro is amazing and I am a huge fan of garmin now!
