Garmin Enduro 3: 'Ultra-performance GPS smartwatch' now official with extra-long battery life
It may have taken over two years, but Garmin has finally replaced the Enduro 2 (curr. $729.95 - refurbished on Amazon) with a third-generation model. Launching today alongside the Fenix E and Fenix 8, the Enduro 3 is said to surpass its predecessor in various areas.
For one, the Enduro 3 boasts 36 days of battery life in smartwatch mode, a 2-day improvement over the Enduro 2. Although a 6% improvement is not necessarily impressive, Garmin claims that the Enduro 3 should last 100% longer (90 days) than the Enduro 2 with solar charging activated. The Enduro 3 is also 11% lighter than its predecessor at 57 g, but retains its 51 mm case size and 1.4-inch Memory in Pixel (MIP) display that outputs at 280 x 280 pixels.
Moreover, the Enduro 3 adds support for the Garmin ECG app and BeiDou location systems. Furthermore, Garmin has included a microphone and speaker for Bluetooth phone calling and voice assistant integration with a paired smartphone. On top of that, the Enduro 3 supports Garmin Share, although it lacks a skin temperature sensor; please see Garmin's comparison page for more details in this regard.
The Enduro 3 comes in a sole black finish with an accompanying fabric watch band for $899.99 in the US. Alternatively, the smartwatch can be ordered in other markets like the Eurozone and UK for €899.99 and £769.99, respectively. Please see Garmin's website for further hardware information.
