Garmin Enduro 3

The Garmin Enduro 3 is a bit of a monster. It is essentially Garmin’s ultra-endurance flagship, built around battery life, GPS, training/recovery and outdoor navigation rather than smartwatch bells and whistles.

Garmin Enduro 3: key features

The headline feature: ridiculous battery life

This is where the Enduro 3 leaves almost everything else in the dust.

* Up to 36 days smartwatch mode
* Up to 90 days with solar
* Up to 120 hours GPS
* Up to 320 hours GPS with solar
* Up to 60 hours multi-band GPS
* Up to 90 hours multi-band GPS with solar
* Up to 210 hours Max Battery GPS
* Up to 77 days Expedition mode

The solar figures assume Garmin’s specified exposure to strong sunlight, so you shouldn’t expect literally 90 days in normal Irish winter conditions. Nevertheless, the underlying battery is enormous.


For someone interested in gym training, cardio, VO₂ max, recovery and body composition, this is still a superb watch.
