Launched in tandem with its new fēnix 8 series, Garmin unveiled its Enduro 3 GPS smartwatch. Garmin adds that v3 of its Enduro watch… ‘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 63g and features up to 320 hours in GPS mode with solar charging – with an always-on display. The new watch also has premium training and navigation tools, such as dynamic round-trip routing, trail run VO2 max insights, grade-adjusted pace and preloaded TopoActive maps.
“Whether you’re an ultrarunner, adventure racer, thru-hiker or somewhere in between, the Enduro 3 is purpose-built for ultra-endurance athletes,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin Vice President of Global Consumer Sales.
“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.”
Enduro 3’s 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. It also features SatIQ technology – which automatically toggles between GPS modes – to secure the superior positioning accuracy of multi-band GPS for up to 120 hours.
Other features include:
- Purpose-built design: A 51mm titanium bezel, scratch-resistant sapphire lens and UltraFit nylon band are made for all-weather wear.
- Built-in LED flashlight: Variable intensities, a red light and strobe mode can help provide greater awareness in dark environments, such as during all-day races.
- Trail ready: Trail run VO2 max insights, grade-adjusted pace and NextFork 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.
- Advanced strength training: Featuring 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.
