The Garmin Enduro 3 is notable for its exceptional battery life compared to other Garmin golf watches. Hereâs how it stacks up:
Battery Life Comparison
- Garmin Enduro 3:
- Up to 320 hours in GPS mode with solar charging.
- Up to 90 days in smartwatch mode.
- It also features various modes that extend battery life significantly, such as up to 210 hours in Max Battery GPS mode and 77 days in Expedition GPS mode[1][2][4].
- Garmin Approach Series (e.g., Approach S62):
- The Approach S62 offers about 20 hours in GPS mode and up to 14 days in smartwatch mode, which is considerably less than the Enduro 3.
- Garmin Fenix Series (e.g., Fenix 8):
- The Fenix 8 provides around 36 hours in GPS mode and up to 14 days in smartwatch mode, which is still lower than the Enduro 3's capabilities[3][4].
Summary
The Enduro 3's battery life is significantly superior, making it an excellent choice for golfers who may play multiple rounds or engage in extended outdoor activities. Its ability to last up to 320 hours in GPS mode with solar charging sets it apart from other Garmin golf watches, which typically offer much shorter battery durations. This feature not only benefits golfers but also appeals to ultra-endurance athletes and outdoor enthusiasts looking for a reliable multi-sport watch.Citations:
