If you think the new Garmin fēnix 8 Series Multisport GPS Smartwatch’s 1,000-dollar sticker is a little steep for ya, well then, here’s a tad cheaper option, also from Garmin. Note the italic on the ‘tad’ because it really is a tad. I guess the Garmin Enduro 3 GPS Smartwatch’s existence is based on the principle of different strokes for different folks—however small the differences might be. It is here for those who want it.
For 100 bucks less, you’d also be getting an LED flash too. Mind you, I am talking about a display that is so bright that it became a flashlight wannabe; it has a bonafide flashlight built on the side of the smartwatch. Now, that my friends, kinda blows my mind. The flashlight makes it a true adventurer’s watch—not just for fitness enthusiasts.
Anyhoo, Garmin’s Enduro 3 GPS smartwatch is built for ultra-endurance athletes who demand more. Weighing just 63 grams (2.22 ounces), it’s designed to last with up to 320 hours (or 13-ish days, if any doing the math) of battery life in GPS mode, thanks to a powerful solar charging display. SatIQ technology ensures precise GPS accuracy, while features like VO2 max insights, dynamic round-trip routing, and grade-adjusted pace help you push your limits on any trail.
The rugged 51 mm titanium bezel and scratch-resistant sapphire lens keep it durable yet lightweight, and a built-in LED flashlight adds convenience for late-night adventures. With advanced health monitoring, including an FDA-cleared ECG app, Enduro 3 tracks your performance and well-being around the clock.
Preloaded maps, workouts, and activities make it easy to stay on track, and the Garmin Messenger app lets you stay connected with two-way texting. At US$899.99, Enduro 3 is ready to take on your toughest challenges, no matter how far they take you—if you have that much to drop.
