Garmin has unveiled its latest beast in the smartwatch world — the Enduro 3 series — tailored for endurance athletes and adventure enthusiasts. With a hefty price tag of ₹1,05,990, this rugged, solar-powered GPS smartwatch is promising durability, advanced tracking features, and an insane battery life.
Built To Outlast Your Longest Adventures
Battery anxiety? Not with this one. The Enduro 3 boasts an impressive 110 hours of GPS use on a single charge — and that’s before factoring in solar power. For everyday wear, Garmin claims an eye-watering 80 days of battery life in standard smartwatch mode.
At just 63 grams, it’s lighter than its predecessors but doesn’t skimp on strength. Wrapped in titanium with a DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating, the watch is designed to take a beating. Garmin even touts its military-grade resistance to thermal stress, shock, and water — so, whether you’re scaling mountains or slogging through muddy trails, this thing’s built to stick with you.
Performance Metrics Tailored For Athletes
Garmin has gone all-in on performance tracking. This isn’t your average fitness tracker — it’s practically a wrist-based sports lab.
- Endurance Score: Measures your overall ability to sustain prolonged efforts.
- Real-Time Stamina: Tells you how much gas you’ve got left in the tank mid-activity.
- VO2 Max: Tracks your aerobic performance and fitness progress.
- Recovery Time: Helps gauge how long you need to fully bounce back from tough sessions.
- Training Readiness: Combines sleep data, heart rate variability (HRV), and stress levels to tell you whether you’re good to go or better off resting.
For marathoners, triathletes, or even weekend warriors who like to push their limits, these data points could be game-changers for smarter training.
Solar Power: Gimmick Or Game-Changer?
Solar charging isn’t new to Garmin’s lineup, but the Enduro 3 takes it a notch higher. Garmin says the Power Glass solar panel can extend battery life significantly — especially if you’re spending long hours under the sun.
Let’s break it down:
| Mode | Battery Life (Without Solar) | Battery Life (With Solar) |
|---|---|---|
| GPS Mode | Up to 80 hours | Up to 110 hours |
| Smartwatch Mode | Up to 60 days | Up to 80 days |
For ultra-distance athletes, hikers, and outdoor enthusiasts, this could mean fewer charging breaks and more uninterrupted adventure time.
Price And Availability
At ₹1,05,990, the Enduro 3 series isn’t exactly a casual purchase. It’s aimed squarely at serious athletes and explorers who demand top-notch performance, longevity, and durability.
Garmin India confirmed the watch will be available at premium retail stores and on its official website. The package includes a two-year warranty — reassuring when you’re dropping six figures on a wearable.
If you’re looking for a smartwatch that shrugs off the elements and keeps up with the most grueling routines, the Enduro 3 series might just be worth that hefty investment.
