Garmin recently announced the Enduro 3, its next-gen ultra-performance GPS smartwatch that is lighter than ever and can last for longer than the previous model thanks to a solar charging display. Built for the longest races, Enduro 3 weighs just 63 grams and features up to 320 hours in GPS mode with solar charging — all with an always-on display. With premium training and navigation tools, like dynamic round-trip routing, trail run VO2 max insights, grade-adjusted pace and preloaded TopoActive maps, Enduro 3 is ready to help guide the next adventure.
“Whether you’re an ultrarunner, adventure racer, thru-hiker or somewhere in between, the Enduro 3 is purpose-built for ultra-endurance athletes. With incredible battery life, a lightweight design, preloaded TopoActive maps and more, Enduro 3 is ready to help you push the limits as you conquer your wildest dreams.” –Dan Bartel, Garmin Vice President of Global Consumer Sales Whether you’re an ultrarunner, adventure racer, thru-hiker or somewhere in between, the Enduro 3 is purpose-built for ultra-endurance athletes.
Best-in-class solar battery life Featuring industry-leading solar battery life, Enduro 3 lets athletes run even longer. The larger, more efficient solar lens provides more than double the solar power of the previous Enduro model, resulting in up to 320 hours of battery life in GPS mode or up to 90 days of battery life in smartwatch mode. What’s more, SatIQTM technology – which automatically toggles between GPS modes – secures the superior positioning accuracy of multi-band GPS for up to 120 hours.
Tackle the toughest tests Purpose-built design: A 51mm titanium bezel, scratch-resistant sapphire lens and comfortable UltraFit nylon band are made for rugged athletics and all-weather wear. Built-in LED flashlight: Quickly control the flashlight’s brightness right from the display. Variable intensities, a red light and strobe mode can help provide greater awareness in dark environments — like during all-day races, when searching for a lost toy under the couch, while reading a menu at a dimly-lit restaurant and more.
Trail ready: Take advantage of trail run VO2 max insights, grade-adjusted pace and NextForkTM Map Guides during the next trail run or race. Enhanced navigation: Set a target destination for a run, hike or bike ride and receive dynamic round-trip routing that continually adjusts the route to stay on schedule. Additionally, view terrain contours on TopoActive maps and access preloaded maps for thousands of golf courses and ski resorts around the world.
Advanced strength training: Elevate performance with targeted, 4-6-week strength training plans to help meet personal goals, plus sport-specific workouts for various activities and built-in apps tailored for runners, cyclists, hikers and more.

The ultimate performance tool Whether taking to the road or the trails, Enduro 3 includes premium performance metrics like VO2 max, training load, heat and altitude acclimation and more.
Track cardiovascular fitness levels with trail run VO2 max, which automatically adjusts based on the varying trail and terrain conditions that can affect run performance. The ultrarun activity features a rest timer and lets athletes log their time spent at aid stations. Plan race day strategy using PaceProTM to receive GPS-based pace guidance for selected courses or distances and use grade-adjusted pace technology to receive an equivalent running pace at the same effort on flat ground or when ascending.
To tackle the hills, ClimbPro displays real-time information on current and upcoming climbs while following a downloaded course. Made for the trails Featuring preloaded TopoActive maps from around the world, Enduro 3 can help keep explorations on track. An Outdoor Maps+ subscription provides even more premium mapping content, like satellite imagery and enhanced topographic maps right on the watch.
Navigate the trails with NextFork Map Guide to see the distance to the next intersection and the trail name, or follow turn-by-turn directions on courses created in Garmin ConnectTM. During a race, the up ahead feature provides awareness for selected POI checkpoints, like aid stations. Health and fitness monitoring Loaded with around-the-clock health monitoring features, Enduro 3 can track HRV status, Pulse Ox4, sleep, jet lag, energy and stress levels and more.
Outside of a run, Enduro 3 includes dozens of preloaded activity profiles, like swimming, biking, golfing and skiing. Athletes can also follow animated cardio, strength, yoga and Pilates workouts right from their watch or follow sport-specific workouts for athletes of all types, including ultra runners, hikers and cyclists. Stay connected Enduro 3 adds the Garmin MessengerTM app to allow users to communicate with their friends and family via two-way text messaging right from their watch when both the sender and receiver of messages have the Garmin Messenger app installed on their paired smartphones.
Garmin Share lets users quickly share saved locations, courses and workouts with other compatible Garmin devices — all with the tap of a button.
