Living a sunny climate, not wanting phone , dive features or speaker but retaining and functions of fenix make this a great step up from my fenix solar 6x
Long-distance hikers should definitely pick Enduro 3 over Fenix 8. The battery life is just amazing. So far I really like this. Previously I had Fenix 6x Sapphire, which also performed well.
I've just ordered this watch. Not much of a runner more long hikes, backpacking and MTB. I currently have an old 735xt so this is a big upgrade for me 😂
Nice review guys! Do you guys feel that the new buttons on the fenix 8 will be more durable since it doesn’t use o-rings? Not just for water but other debris such as sand,dirt etc?
Hey Guys🤙 Thanks for your amazing reviews❤ I am a new member of your channel. What different wrist sizes do you 3 guys have? This would be great orientation for your audience, that maybe is interested in this information. I am😉 Kind regards, Benjamin✌️
This watch is amazing! I upgraded from the 7 Sapphire Solar and the screen is much better and the battery life is bonkers. Definitely this is the best watch Garmin offers. And who cares about the smart features - when you're training hard you shouldn't be on your bloody phone anyway!
Great review and thoughts guys. Just wondering if you could answer a quick question for me please. What is the battery drain on the sleep tracking? Some of you noted 1 - 2% overnight drain, was that sleep tracking or just leaving the watch on a bedside table? I ask as I currently have a Instinct 2X which is great, about 1% sleep battery drain and I get just over 2 weeks battery doing 20 + miles per week plus other workouts. Used to have a Fenix 6 Solar and I used to loose 5 - 6% overnight with sleep tacking which was too much.
I was missing one thing on the dislike ‘list’ - the long push to get to the Home Screen should b brought back. Apart from that I really like my new watch and sees it as a good update from my Fenix 7x.
Typically I would say to get one of the older watches, but I think that’s kind of bad advice right now. They have completely changed their software platform for these watches going forward. So it used to be that the older watch that you were buying was still going to get updated, that’s less likely the case now.
Personally I think people are too obsessed about updates. It's a sports watch after all. If it does what I need out of it on day one, that's more than OK for me, it's good for years.. There's bug-fixing to consider but that's a double-edged sword since newest updates also introduce bugs that previous firmware versions didn't have.
I know the Enduro 3 doesn’t have the Red Shift mode, how is it in the dark with the MIP screen? I’m assuming you’d have to tap the screen/button or have raised to wake to see the screen lmk
Garmin customer service is horrible... absolutely the worst when you consider how much they are asking for these devices. My screen failed and now I have a $1000.00 paperweight. Buy something cheaper from another band.
@@alexandrusuciu8275 The appearance of a watch is obviously not insignificant. And this watch is supposed to be worn every day lol. Sad that Garmin allowed it due to some manufactured need to make their watch lines visually distinct at a glance.
I'm not sure if it bothers me that much to make it into a dealbreaker but I'm not a huge fan of this kind of accents either and I agree with you that the look of a watch matters and it's a personal thing.
For what it's worth, the green button was the cherry on top of the cake for me in choosing the Enduro 3. I really like that colour pop. Don't yuck other's yum, hey?
I don't see battery life mattering past 4-5 days. Obviously, there are some more extreme scenarios where you could want more, like a multi-week backpacking trip, but for an exercise watch, I mean...a couple days is all it needs.

I love my enduro 3, upgraded from fenix 6x sapphire 🤩👌

Long distance runners would better take an instinct 2x

I'd be perfectly happy if my 255s had better battery life
955 solar?
Back is not titanium. The case, including the back is polymer. Only the bezel is metal/titanium.

what are the circumfrences of your 3 wrists? Was the extra thickness noticable? Did you find yourselves snagging it on anything?
Sometimes it bumps against walls but not a big deal

You can edit the shortcuts so that one of the buttons act as a home button, either with short or long press.
@ Have just learnt that you can get back to the Home Screen by covering the watch with your hand som that the light sensor turn off the backlight.
Is the titanium bezel DLC coated?

@@robhunt8378 I def prefer getting new features on a watch I already own. It’s why I use Apple products. Coros has proven customers love that!
I just got it !!
Mate can you tell me whats the color of that nylon strap? 2:14
Nice job guys. I am leaning Enduro 3, I have a couple of long multi day events coming up. The battery life is the killer app for me.
Can someone do a demo of the watch screens? Some of them are ugly in other Garmin

MIP screens don’t emit light so you would need the backlight to see anything in the dark.
But they do reflect light well so if your running with a head torch you can keep the back light off
ITS HUGE!
It is! But as a navigation tool, it's just the right size of huge 😉
Olá boa noite estou querendo comprar o Enduro 3 tenho o pulso de 18 mm será que fica muito grande no meu pulso?
Mine loses 10% battery per day. With one one hour workout per day and everything else turned off. :(
Your watch are broken
That's not right, send it back
Do a review of huawei gt 5 and gt 5 pro...i think it's the best fitness tracker for the money...never better gt series
Chinese spyware.
Can’t tell if it is kind of a recommendation or kind of no. Kind of too much hedging.
Assume you guys know what that phrase infers.
It's worth it imo
First comment😊ok bye
Garmin customer service is horrible... absolutely the worst when you consider how much they are asking for these devices. My screen failed and now I have a $1000.00 paperweight. Buy something cheaper from another band.
for me they were very kind and usuall swappes my watch out. (if it is within warranty,)
Not in my experience.
That ugly green button means it's an automatic no.
you have picked out the single, most insignificant detail of an otherwise fantastic product! Good job!

The weird shape of the green ring around start button further adds to the ugliness of the puke green accents 🤢

By far not as good as the Suunto vertical. And with so many bugs
Suunto not even close to ANY garmin watch

Battery wear says hi :) Keep your watch long enough, it will start to sting.
@flipperzero9662 what did you say 😂 I can’t hear you I’m going past 30 days without charge feels good without getting the low battery warning 😎🔦
Well, that’s why it is called enduro…
The less charging you have to do the better.
