3, its next-gen ultraperformance 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 charging1—all with an always-on display.

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 mode1 or up to 90 days of battery life in smartwatch mode2. What’s more, SatIQ technology – which automatically toggles between GPS modes – secures the superior positioning accuracy of multi-band GPS for up to 120 hours1.
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 NextFork

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 PacePro 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 Connect. During a race, the up ahead feature provides awareness for selected POI checkpoints, like aid stations.
