How does the removal of the transparent solar panel affect the Enduro 3's screen clarity

Key Effects on Screen Clarity

1. Improved Visibility: The absence of the transparent solar panel allows for a clearer view of the watch's display. Users have noted that the screen appears slightly clearer compared to the Enduro 2, contributing to better readability overall[1][5].

2. Comparison with AMOLED Displays: While the Enduro 3's display is clearer than its predecessor, it still does not match the visibility of AMOLED screens, particularly in low-light conditions. Users have reported that in dim environments, the MIP display can be challenging to read without activating the backlight[1][5].

3. Solar Efficiency: Interestingly, Garmin claims that despite removing the solar panel from the display area, the new design features a larger and more efficient solar ring that provides 120% more solar power compared to previous models. This suggests that while visibility has improved, solar efficiency has not been compromised[1][8].

In summary, removing the transparent solar panel has enhanced screen clarity on the Enduro 3, making it easier to read in various lighting conditions while still maintaining effective solar charging capabilities.
