    Thorough, and great review. Really helps to decide whether to upgrade/make first purchase, and which version is best for any one person.

    Both great watches, like the Fenix 8 for the call/connectivity option, however Enduro 3 is just so much better as it's cheaper, longer battery life (Solar)
    Good review and keep it going!

    Great video! I’m trying to decide between the Enduro 3 and the fenix 8. Do you feel that the buttons on the fenix will be more durable since they don’t use o-rings? And how do you like the display with the maps between the two since one is MIP and the other amoled?

    • @GermanAccentReviews-xn9yx
      @GermanAccentReviews-xn9yx  2 месяца назад +6

      Thank you! 😊 Mh, I don’t think there‘s much of a difference in the built quality of the buttons or the watches in general. Considering the display, it depends. AMOLED displays can display more data and details than MIP displays so I would generally prefer them but on the other hand, MIP displays are easier to read in direct sunlight, which is why I tend to use MIP watches for outdoor activities like hiking etc. I will do another separate video comparing the MIP and AMOLED Fenix 8, so stay tuned for that ✌🏼

    I chose the Enduro 3 over the fenix 8 as it is lighter and has a better battery life, the enduro 3 has the best of the venu 3/Forerunner 965 which I liked and the rideability of the fenix 8, for NOK 3000 less here in Norway

    I have just ordered the Enduro 3. I personally prefer the MIP screens as i dont like the brightness of the more smart eatch type AMOLED for most of my uses and prefer having more battery life and as I am upgrading from a very old 735xt it is still a massive upgrade. I maybe would have gone for a smaller size if it was an option but given it does mapping the extra size could be useful for that.

    Thanks for the review, very helpful. I still have a fenix 3 sapphire hr which I bought in 2016/2017, it is going strong. Bought an inreach mini 2 a few months ago, was sad to find out the Fenix 3 is not compatible with the Mini 2. Any idea on the compatibility between the mini 2, enduro 3 vs fenix 8 vs fenix 7? I usually use the watch for multiday hikes, open water / indoor swimming, gyming and just general outdoor activitiy. I usually don't wear a watch when at home. I am leaning towards the Enduro 3 becuase of the battery life - depending on the compatibility to InReach Mini 2. Thoughts?

  • @aaakmm1785
    @aaakmm1785 Месяц назад

    Can you retest some older Garmin watch to check if updates improve HR accuracy? Every tester only test given watch only shortly after release when the software is new and possibly buggy. So for someone who wants to buy this watch one or two years later there is no information if it got any better. If watches are getting better with updates then that would be generally useful information.

    Hi, don’t you have a stability issues with your E3? Mine is constantly stuck at loading screens, go back to watchface, reboot, disappearing UI elements, tons of bugs and glitches 🥵 especially navigating. There’s no turn notifications!
    It’s a nice watch and I believe there’s nothing similar on the market but I feel like a beta tester and it is so frustrating that I’m giving it back. :|

      Hi, I‘m sorry to hear that you had these bad experiences with the watch. For me, these things didn’t happen to be honest. The watch is not the fastest in general, as Garmin watches are generally slower than classic smartwatches but I didn’t experience the things you were mentioning.. Again, sorry to hear that and I hope you have more luck with your next watch! Regards 😊

    Would have been happy to hear your personal opinions and experiences, vs just the feature comparisons. Do you prefer Mips or Amoled? Do you miss the microphone? How was wearing the bigger watch?

    • @GermanAccentReviews-xn9yx
      @GermanAccentReviews-xn9yx  2 месяца назад +2

      Hey, thanks for your feedback! I prefer using AMOLED displays in my daily life, but tend to use MIP watches for outdoor sports activities like hiking, running etc. I don’t miss the microphone because I am not really using the smart features. Wearing the bigger watch was fine for me, but that’s probably because I’m used to wearing bigger watches and my wrist circumference is 185 mm. Additionally, the Enduro 3 is comparably light and with the nylon strap, it’s very comfortable to wear. If you have any further questions, let me know 😊

    I bought the Enduro 3 a week ago. The software is still buggy so not 100% happy.
    800 Euros and they did not even test "turn alerts" on GPS navigation (how did you miss this in your "review"!!!!) or that the watch can not sync with Garmin Connect 100% of times (in 7 days 5 files created by the watch can only be uploaded manually as sync fails). At least it works with Base Camp - except custom maps (Freizeitkarte) but that will be fixed in 1.8x firmware (Source: Garmin Forum). What a joke for 800 Euros.
    Bottom line. I am glad that I bought the lighter one as I don't care about voice commands or the terrible speaker. The Enduro 3 will probably be amazing in another 3+ months as the firmware with proper navigation is still in beta and two releases ahead of the current stable version.
