Garmin Enduro vs Enduro 3
Size, specs & wrist fit compared
Which one fits you
Both need much the same wrist: neither overhangs from 18 cm (7.1 in) round, and both are in their sweet spot around 19 cm and up. Wrist size will not decide between these two.
What else differs
- Battery: 50 days for the Enduro against 36 days for the Enduro 3 in everyday use; 5 days for the Enduro 3 against 2.9 days for the Enduro with GPS on.
- Only the Enduro 3 has a sapphire lens.
The Enduro and Enduro 3 share a near-identical 51mm case, so on the wrist the difference is thickness and weight.
Among the 52 smartwatches 51mm across that we hold thickness for, the Enduro is thinner than 87%, so it wears flatter than its width suggests.
The Enduro is 0.8mm thinner and 8g heavier than the Enduro 3.
