The Garmin Enduro 3 will be launched along with the Garmin Fenix 8 series, which features an impressive battery life of up to 90 days and up to 320 hours of GPS tracking under sunny conditions

This incredible battery life has been a feature of the Enduro series since its launch and is designed for multi-day adventures [Along with the battery life upgrade, the new Enduro 3 also features improved navigation features, allowing users to set a target distance and the watch will create a route back to the starting point in that distance with on-the-fly updates Dynamic round-trip routing, for example, is included

Garmin has also added a strength training program to the watch, allowing users to achieve a variety of fitness goals in a 4- to 6-week plan In addition, there are guided strength training programs to support specific sports, such as skiing and trail running

The Enduro3's titanium case and sapphire screen are lightweight yet durable A flashlight and solar panel are built into the watch face to help extend battery life in sunny conditions It also comes with Garmin's Ultra Fit nylon band, which I have always preferred over the brand's silicone bands

Several features are missing from the Fenix 8 series, most notably that the Enduro 3 does not have an AMOLED display like the AMOLED of the Fenix 8 It has a similar design to the standard Fenix 8, with a memory-in-pixel screen that allows for longer battery life

The Enduro 3 does not have the built-in microphone and speaker added to the Fenix 8, nor is it a diver's watch; the Fenix 8 has a 40-meter dive-rated case and scuba diving and apnea sports modes Instead, the Enduro 3 has a lighter design and a focus on battery life and performance, but appears to rival the Fenix 8's features and offer longer battery life [While the base model of the Fenix 8 costs $99999/£94999, the Enduro 3 is less expensive than the Fenix 8 at $89999/£76999, making it an attractive option for those who regularly take long adventures in the great outdoors However, the new Fenix E, which offers the essence of Garmin's top watches for $799, is also worth considering
