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.

Great Watch
I purchased this watch to monitor my pulse and heart rate while elk hunting. Loved it , the best watch I could have used for high altitude hiking

Great watch for everyday use and long distance running
I have had the ENDURO 3 for a week and I have been really liking it. Here is some of my thoughts: - The battery life is accurate to what Garmin advertises them to be. - Solar charging has an improvement over the previous generation, but you really have to be in direct sunlight for a few hours to actually get some charge. - The GPS is accurate, heart rate monitor is accurate, no complaints with data accuracy at all. The only complaint I have is that I wish there were more configurations of watch face - there are very limited options for watch face.

Tough Smartwatch with excellent battery life!
I ordered the Enduro 3 in early September 2025 and have worn it continuously except to sync it to Garmin Express. I like the features and durability that Garmin is known for in its products. I have had no glitches with the software, and it has updated without any problems. Overall, I am delighted with my purchase.

This is the one!
After going through multiple smart watches / Garmin watches - there have always been something that just kills the watch for being solid. I really feel Garmin nailed it on the Enduro 3. Shockingly amazing battery life / updated UI that flows so much nicer / activities are easy to use and all types and levels can use this watch. For the price difference - this is the choice in my opinion.

ENDURO 3
Watch is fantastic daily wear with a battery life that last about 15 days for me with daily use and 50% backlight. This is the sleeper pick in the Garmin wearables lineup if you are fine without phone connectivity.

Love the battery life and screen size
I bought this during my training for an upcoming 100 mile trail run and I’m so excited to have all the extra training assessment features, and to not have to worry about battery life during the race. I’ve been a Garmin wearer for years for all my running training, and I’m very happy with this latest purchase! I was nervous about the size on my wrist, but have gotten used to the watch… I did purchase the silicone watch straps to replace the nylon and appreciate the sleeker look for when not out on the trails.

perfect for any adventure
I had the first Enduro watch. It came up short in a lot of different way. I decided to skip the Eduro 2 because it seemed like it did not any noticeable upgrades from the original Enduro. I'm glad that I decided to pull the trigger and buy the Enduro 3. I can safely say from using the Enduro 3 for trail running hiking and hunting It is a perfect mix of adventure and every day use watch. I am keeping track of all my workouts with all the different data that the watch tracks to keep me on track with meeting my running goals. The watch also gives me the ability to use it as a reliable source of map and GPS data when I am hunting and I don't ever have to be worried about it running out of battery while I'm out on long days in the wilderness.

5 months in
The watch has been great. Definitely a set above my old Coros. The battery life is incredible. The light is awesome in a pinch. I primarily use this for cycling, and my only complaint is the size of the watch. Under rough conditions, the watch has beat up my wrist. This may just be a me problem, as I haven't seen others complain. My wrist has developed a bit of a callous, as I wear this all day, every day. The sleep summary is a nice feature. The watch is fairly intuitive after some time with it. Overall, I'm happy.

Glitchy Garmin Enduro3
In just a couple of weeks the watch stopped showing text messages from my phone. I've tried reviewing all the settings and repairing, restarting, etc... and followed all of Garmin's steps in the help screen. Also the menus are hard to navigate and grouped oddly. But I love the battery life. Once a month is better than my last Garmin watch.
