Garmin Enduro 3 First Impressions after 10 days in
Hey everyone! A little later than planned due to being in the middle of Snowdonia National Park with very slow upload speeds. It's taken 48 hours just to upload it but here it is! My second video with "b roll" 😂
It's been a learning curve both with the watch and editing video. Hopefully you find it useful.
Highlights of the watch for me are :
✅ Size and weight feel ok for a person with small wrist (17cm)
✅ Clear display and backlighting
✅ Useable torch
✅ Power Meter function
✅ Lap button discard feature
✅ Accurate sleep-related data recording
✅ Folders for keeping things tidy
✅ Being able to create workouts and adjust data screens in the Connect App on your phone rather than on the watch!

Garmin Enduro 3 Unboxing & First Look
Просмотров 2,7 тыс.21 день назад
Here is my first video (be gentle) where I take a look at the new Garmin Enduro 3. I'll be releasing new content within the next weeks once I've had a chance to review the features new to me. If you have any questions or there's anything you want to see then let me know in the comments!
Its the best of the best I have Enduro 2 its the beast of Garmin watches well done 🙂
@@From_The_North Thank you. I’m really enjoying it!
I had some expectations but maybe they weren’t met. Are those expectations realistic and is my judgement wrong ? Navigation: I haven’t been in the mountains yet with my Enduro 3. But I have tested it in my local forest/park with well established trails on all maps, they are there for ages. The first short hike 5km (enough to cover various land and tree coverage) was made just clicking normal activity “hike”. I think here the “Default” setting was GPS Only mode. It wasn’t so bad, quite “there” where I was. From the beginning of the hike, I walk onto a street that has good tree coverage and there is a golf course on one side and a school on the other. If I am on 20 - 60 m zoom on the watch you can clearly see that I am not walking onto the street but 5m away next to it into the golf course. I got into the woodland and same happened when I am on the path at least 5 m walking next to the path not onto it. When I got into the deeper woodland it was worse, but still managing to be “there” on some places it was better some worse. This was on the watch display. When I plotted the GPX on few apps it showed the same deviation. I didn’t get my Iphone with me to compare with other apps and the accuracy of it. But when in the mountains or on a hike my phone was always bang on the path wherever I am. I don’t know if I can compare both gps the phone and the watch, but it is crazy. And my phone was always on Airplane mode. Many times, when you lose the path, I know that even those 5 meters that it were showing deviation on my watch matter. Because of vegetation and all sorts covering the path. Even not being able to see it or there is no path at all I know on my phone when I start walking towards the path and the phone shows that I am on the path bang on I am on it and manage to discover it. And this is not on well worn paths and in the mountains. Doing this here in my neighbourhood it is not pleasant. Brand new watch. It felt like my Fenix 3 is better than the enduro 3. What I did I tried on the “auto select mode” the mode that chooses the best satellite option on your journey. On some places with better clearing like in the forest if I had more vision of the sky maybe it did better, but on absolute clearing it was still not on the path but 5 m away from it. Did on the good clearing choose the worse satellite option. It managed to lock on the path for a while (not much) in the thick forest. As I said this is detrimental in the mountains that deviation can cost me. I expected more. Should I switch to the other satellite options if I want more, does this dynamic choosing of the satellites is inadequate? But ive watched people test this the SATIQ thing and on their videos it looked promising. If I put I on the All systems or best accuracy all + multi band ? And then my expectations would be met ? I will test it. But those other more accurate options should be for bad situations and when you really want to be pro. I think for the promises that garmin gives even those options should at least match my phone capabilities? I bought the watch to be able to be bang on the path because I had a minor accident that made me think I don’t want to look on my phone to see where I am. Battery: First red flag was when I charged my ednuro 3. I did it with the cable and a plug 20W which the user manual stated 15W minimum. In the morning the battery was 97%. 3% for 8h : 30m ? Well I didn’t expected that. Wi-fi off and phone searching off, my brightness from the start was on level 2 and refresh was on 8 sec or something. By 10 a.m it was 95%. Now I use my watch on that level of brightness same level 2, I switch off the wifi and phone connectivity. They are on only when I quickly check for an update or calibrate with my garmin connect. All the other time its on minimum. Maybe I must leave it on max and see the drain idk. But now on these options after 7 days is on 67% 27d. Maybe ok idk we will see I must find way to further test the battery drain and maybe adjust my expectations. But I am like praying to it on min settings just to see how much I will get out of it. Sun charging did not had much sun to test it (UK) my brightest day was 41k lux and my watch was exposed to direct sunlight for about 1 h so no change in % of battery from that at least no indication idk …. We will see if I will have the sun to expose it for 3h to 50 k lux and see if the battery moves. But this is important for me because I hike a lot. Pulse: I think it is accurate, ive tested it with my mums BP meter which is a good brand and it showed same results. I think to test it with my Fenix 3 chest piece , but Idk if this would be a good test. Sleep coach: I don’t know the accuracy of that. It is not the best probably. I was rolling in bed and it showed light sleep, I have moments when I go to the toilet and it does recognise them but when I get back to sleep it takes me way more to go to sleep than it shows on the watch. Sometimes your pulse goes down but your brain doesn't shut and it recognises it as sleep probably idk ? Had a bad night pain in leg, rolling and yes it recognised I was awake 51 m but it was more and it gave me 85 sleep score. Today I thought I got way better sleep, sleep score 72 or something. How should I test this better ? Are my expectations justified ? Should I adjust them? I like my watch it is build well, but idk maybe because my financial situation and the fact that I gave so much for a watch plays a part. I don’t want to test it all the time I just want to put it on and go and meet what I expected. Maybe too many options mess with my head but idk man. I did not have a good reference point for performance before , but not being able to be on the path … with your advertised option that chooses bets sat based on environment.
you should avoid discarding battery, you should charge it when you see 50% and charge it to only 80% if you want it last multiple years
Thank you for the info 👍🏻
You’re wrong!
@@AndrevitalC Hi 👋 What is your advice?
when Enduro 3 giveaway? 🤣
You tell me? 😉
when you purchased online from Garmin they also gave you a refund and then after it was paid they took the money off your card?
Im not sure if I understand your question. I purchased mine from sportshoes.com and it came with a letter saying I had 90 days to return it if I had a problem with it. If that doesn’t answer your question please tell me 👍🏻
I wish you got more in detail about how the display is now as visually readable compared to the fenix 6 . I have a 7 x pro and had the 6 but got the enduro 3 thinking it would go back to the fenix 6 visual display in regard to glare . But was unhappy it was not
Im sorry I didn’t provide more detail about the display. Personally, I didn’t think it was an issue so I didn’t focus on it. But I do understand that we all have different elements that affect the watch around us and so this just my personal opinion of it. When mine arrived I noticed I had a 90 day no questions return form. So, if you’re really unhappy with it you may be able to do the same. I would suggest contacting who you purchased it from to see if that’s an option. Hope things work out for you 😊
Anyone have any thoughts on the Garmin Enduro 2 vs Enduro 3? Is it worth the upgrade…..Thanks in advance for your thoughts
Great question! What I do know is the battery life is the best of all garmins. It has improved solar charging capabilities and it uses the new interface that’s only able to Fenix 8 and Enduro 3. Not sure if that’s enough of a step up but hopefully others will be able to comment.
Please can you let me know how the battery life is when you are using the map screen and following a gpx file the whole time. That is most important to me for multi day ultras and hikes. My garmin fenix 6x pro last less than 12 hours on the map screen the whole time.
Hi. Thanks for your question. It's a great one! Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get out for anything that long yet. However, I have been researching this questions. So far I can see that from using map and navigation on all my shorter runs that it doesn't seem to heavily impact battery life which did give the same question as you. What I have found out is that I would estimate it to last between 55-60 hours of continuous use on screen use with navigation. Of course, things to bear in mind are that it does have much stronger solar charging capabilities (if it's sunny where you are). You can also tweak the settings (by activity), in terms of brightness and blacklight. On the flip side, when rerouting (if you come off track) this will cause more battery drain. All of these things can make a difference. There is no question that maps and nav are the biggest drain on battery life so if you are on a stretch where you won't need nav on screen then I would set it over to another data screen. With my Fenix 6S I would have a data screen that just has the time of day, as this was the least battery drain. And the watch battery life was so little in comparison, particularly after 5 years of use. I will say that, to my knowledge, you won't find a stronger battery on a watch like this on the market right now. Hopefully that helps. Let me know if you have any more questions.
Great stuff cheers
@@oneeyedsailor4952 No problem! Thanks for your comments. If you have any questions let me know and I will try to help 👊🏻
what about the maps? it is smooth?
I'd say so. I think it's much clearer and easier to read too! I also find it easier to zoom and pan with the touchscreen.
Well done with the video brother
Thank you. It’s much appreciated 👊🏻
How is moving from the fenix 6 pro to the enduro 3? Is the screen better on the enduro? What else did you like about the enduro?
I really enjoyed it. The screen is a lot better then Fenix 6 pro without a doubt. I’ve listed a number of the features that I’m enjoying with the Enduro 3 in the description. Be sure to check it out! Thanks for commenting 👊🏻🙏🏻
@Summit.Together thanks I'm really in the fence of whether to get the enduro 3 or the fenix 8. I'm training to be a mountain leader and love long days in the mountains but the amoled screen seems tempting with maps. I am also coming from a fenix 6x pro
I recently bought the enduro 3, and I also use the fenix 6x pro, as for the screen, what I can say without a doubt is that due to the sapphire glass, reflections are much more noticeable, in this regard the fenix 6 was excellent. Otherwise very satisfied with the enduro 3.
@@andregoncalves1648 Thanks for the comments! I've defintely noticed it when I'm trying to film it on runs 😂 As I had the Fenix 6 for such a long time I wasn't sure whether it's just that the glass was old and had lost it's shine. For me, I've not found the reflections an issue so far but of course I think where you are based can have a big influence, in terms of weather that is! I agree with you that Enduro is a great watch. I'm really satisfied with it. What would you say your favourite features of it are so far?
@@SummitForGood The main reasons for upgrading to enduro 3 from the fenix 6x pro were: - The longest battery life. - Screen with sapphire, more resistant. - More resistant due to the use of titanium (my fenix 6 already had signs of use). - It's definitely lighter and less "brick", and I notice it a lot because I use it 24 hours a day. - Touch screen that works very well. - More accurate GPS.
Getting mine delivered tomorrow... Also from sportsshoes. Also upgrading from the fenix 6x! Which has been amazing over so many adventures...
@@HardRoutine_TOTW I think you’re going to be buzzing and given you’ve already had the large format watch that won’t be an issue. There’s so many new useful features. It’s a big step up. What type of adventures do you normally like to? What is your main hobby? Sportsshoes was very quick. I was surprised that ordering on a Friday afternoon it was there by Saturday morning. Thought it wouldn’t come till Monday. (I promise I’m not affiliated to garmin or sportsshoes 😂)
Finally! An undo button for lap recording. It bugs me as well when I accidentally hit it. There have been complaints of various software bugs on the new watch on Garmin forum, have you encountered any?
@@z.h.2216 the lap discard button is definitely a nice touch! But wise I’ve only encountered something very recently where it seems the backlight still comes on gesture based outside of the sunset mode I have it selected on. Personally, I can’t say I’ve noticed anything else.
There was an update to watch yesterday so could be solving some of the bugs that people are reporting. I'm still happy to say that I've not noticed anything that has irrated me just yet. I'm sure they will continue to work out any teething problems when they find them.
@@SummitForGood Thanks. Looking forward to getting my Enduro 3 in 2 weeks.
@@z.h.2216 I’d be keen to hear your thoughts when you have had. Thanks for commenting and I hope you enjoy when it arrives!
Great unboxing and looking forward to more future content. I’ve owned every Fenix since the 3 so it was definitely a big decision to move over to the Enduro 3. So far loving the battery life and MIP display which is so much clearer compared to my 7x Solar Sapphire.
That's great to hear that it's a step up from the Fenix 7. I held off for about a year waiting for the Fenix 8 whilst I was under the impression there were no more Enduro's coming! So glad it dropped. I'm so happy with my purchase and could be the money I've saved towards more gear 😂 Hope you continue to enjoy and get the most out of it. My current favourite new feature to me is being able to set up all your data screens in the app rather than the watch. So much quicker and easier! I've also noticed the GPS locks in so much quicker than I was used to on the Fenix 6. Which is handy when you're waiting to start your run in the freezing cold and/or rain!
I’m looking at 47mm amoled or the enduro 3. I’m coming from Apple Watch Series 7! Depends on how they fit the wrist
I guess the main thing you will notice is no LED but for me it's something I'm not worried about. If you want to get a screen thats as close to apple watch then it will have to be the fenix. But if you're happy with a good enough screen, enhanced battery life, the same user interface, saving a few quid and you don't mind something that's 4mm bigger then it would have to be the Enduro 3.
Great video! The only unboxing vid I could find really ahah! Cheers!
Haha - I think youtube may have bumped my video as it was my first! Just about to drop my second video where I give a little more of an insight to it!
Great video!! Looking forward to future ones. I’m really considering ordering this. 2 questions if you don’t mind. 1. I have a forerunner 955 and wear it 24/7 including to bed. I’ve never had a 51mm watch. Do you think this will be uncomfortable to sleep with or similar to my 955? 2. Any software bugs that need to be worked out in your watch or is it off to a good start?
Hey Brett! Thanks for watching. I'm glad you liked it. I've not had the Forerunner 955 but I can see it's slightly smaller but not much. I can tell you that I sleep with my Enduro 3 and it only left my wrist yesterday to get its first charge. Other than that I wear it 24/7 with no comfort issues. In relation to software bugs I've noticed there have been a couple of updates within the first few days but the last week there have been none. But before and after these updates I personally have noticed no issues whatsoever. So I'd say it's off to a good start! I've just recorded and edited my next video and will be attempting to add some "B Roll" to show some examples of the screen. So if you want an update on that one hit subscribe ;)
Any other straps in the box?
@@Raym_ just the nylon one
Enjoy them a lot. I have also bought it and it will arrive in a few days
Has your watch arrived yet?
Congrats on your first video :) Next time don't mirror the video, looks a bit weird. And you should get a mic if you plan to make more content. Anyways, you look very happy - I'm might just order one E3 my self just to get that happy face, LOL. (Kidding, I already have one on order)
Thank you! The mirroring wasn't an option I selected so I wasn't aware it was doing. Possibly something that happens when using the front-facing camera on my phone. I'll look into for next time. Hope you enjoy yours when it arrives 👍
i can see the excitement in your face when looking at the package and opening the box haha! ya love to see it
@@uhhnush you got me. I was buzzing. And it didn’t let me down.
Did it come with the black silicone band as well?
@@skymalotte no it didn’t. I think there’s quite a bit more weight compared to the nylon. But it’s still interchangeable. My preference is the nylon. It’s more comfortable and lighter.
I wish they didn’t have the green/yellow button.
What size are yr wrist in cm?
@@oneeyedsailor4952 I don’t have my tape measure to hand but i think i went through this in the video.
@@oneeyedsailor4952 it’s 17cm 👍🏻
@@SummitForGood Cheers im 18,5 so it should be a good fit. Still satisfied with it?
@@oneeyedsailor4952 100% . I feel like I've had for a long time even though it's been less than a week. I don't remember being this exctied when I went from the Vivoactive HR to Fenix 6s Pro😂 I'm enjoying finding new features and adjusting them to suit my needs.
Is the screen harder to see than the 6? The 6 looks clearer in this video. I wasn’t sure if that was just the angle or not. Thanks for the video!!
Apologies for my poor video work. I can confirm the Enduro 3 is a big step up from the Fenix 6. In my next video I will be mentioning that. Personally I think it's more than enough.
@@SummitForGood Right on. I subbed. I’m really interested in your thoughts of the watch. I currently own an Apple Watch Ultra but I’m looking to get a Garmin again. I had experience with a Fenix 7x and Epix. Hopefully, it’s not too much to ask but a side by side comparison of the screen of the 6 and enduro 3 would be amazing. I was frustrated with the screen of the 7x being “foggy” and the Epix wasn’t bright enough in direct sun and I had to give an exaggerated gesture to get amoled screen to brighten up.
@@Mdogbrown No problem. I'd be happy to include that in my next video. Hope to have it out early next week.
Just returned the Fenix 8 47mm today and picked up the Enduro 3.
What are your thoughts coming from the fenix amoled? How’s the screen clarity?
I think you've made a great choice. Would love to hear your feedback on it compared to what you know about the Fenix 8.
Just received today. MIP screen is definitely clearer than earlier MIP models. I find it much easier to see when I’m driving and glance at the watch with no wrist gesture. No word on the battery yet but it is showing 36 days at factory settings. It’s a larger watch to be sure but I think it will work fine for my needs.
@@TheExumasGuy Thanks for the update. I hated wearing the Epix while driving. The amoled was difficult to see. I had to give it an exaggerated flick of the wrist to see the information. I never remember doing that with the fenix. I think the Enduro 3 is going to be the one I get and hang on to for as long as I can.
@@TheExumasGuy I’m having a great experience with the display so far. One thing to mention is it worth checking out the ascent colours you can have on the display. I’ve gone for a green which lets me see it clearly without the backlight. I’ve also changed the gesture setting to “after sunset” and that seems to work really well. I also noticed that there is still more capacity to increase the brightness if needed.
I'm really thinking of returning my Fenix 8, definitely feeling I pulled the trigger too fast, got what was immediately available, and should have purchased the Enduro 3!
24 hours in and I'm loving the Enduro. I'm so glad of the surprise drop. It's such a big step up from the Fenix 6S Pro. Now as you know I haven't tried the Fenix 8 but if you're not fussed about AMOLED screen, speaker, mic & diving capabilities you may just be better off with the Enduro. I believe it's a touch lighter than the Fenix too. It may not come in a range of aesthetics but IMO I would have chosen this option anyway! I was annoyed that it was saying available but when you went to buy it it was saying 2-3 weeks shipping but a few days later it popped up on Sportsshoes.com and was available for next day. I phoned up twice just to make sure as I thought it was strange that they could get it to you quicker than Garmin could🤣 So, I would probably return it and save yourself some ££££s 😂
@@SummitForGood yes I've identified that I don't need the AMOLED, and the speaker is only a gimmick at this point, AND I'm most certainly not a scuba fan. It was probably wise of them to focus on the Fenix 8 release, sell a bunch of those initially as a cash grab,, and then on the back end slowly release the Enduro 3, once people figure it's really all they need and opt for the Enduro over the Fenix.
@@ansont1824 sounds like a done deal then 😉
51 mm. No thanks. 90% of everyone with a 51 mm looks like they have clown jewelry on lol freaking dinner plate on your wrist.
Did you change to Enduro 3?
