Garmin Enduro with Solar GPS Workout Mode (with optical HR): 70/80 hours with solar **Solar charging, assuming use in 50,000 lux conditionsĪs a reminder of where some other watches currently stand, here’s their official battery stats for normal GPS mode with 1-second recording modes (meaning, no reduction in recording or sampling rates): *Solar charging, assuming all-day wear with 3 hours per day outside in 50,000 lux conditions Max Battery GPS Mode: Up to 200 hours/300 hours with solar**Įxpedition GPS Activity: Up to 65 days/95 days with solar* GPS Workout Mode (with optical HR): Up to 70 hours/80 hours with solar** Smartwatch mode: Up to 50 days/65 days with solar*īattery Saver Watch Mode: Up to 130 days/1 year with solar* Here’s the official battery stats from Garmin on this:

However, the real core difference of the Enduro is actually the battery life – clocking in at 70 hours of full GPS on-time without solar, and 80 hours if you’ve got some sunny solar time.

The timing however on the Forerunner series is less clear, with Garmin saying likely more spring. The Forerunner 245/245 Music will get the Trail Running VO2Max enhancements. Additionally, the Forerunner 945 & Forerunner 745 will also get all those updates.
TRAIL OF EXPEDITION NAVIGATION SOFTWATE UPDATE
– Ultra Run Rest Timer: This allows you to track break durations at aide stations and see those in the analytics afterwardsĪnd yes, the Fenix 6 & MARQ get those feature updates today in a firmware update (well, they were in public beta a few weeks ago too). – Trail Run VO2Max: You’ll now get more accurate VO2Max estimates for trail running specifically, versus previously these would often underreport
TRAIL OF EXPEDITION NAVIGATION SOFTWATE PRO
– Climb Pro 2.0 Alerts: You can now set up an alert banner to notify you at the start of the climb, or a configurable distance prior to it So you’ll now see the same per-climb data while going downhill too – Climb Pro 2.0 Descents: This adds descents to ClimbPro for non-cycling activities.
TRAIL OF EXPEDITION NAVIGATION SOFTWATE SOFTWARE
However, for those that haven’t yet updated their firmware to get these new features on your Fenix 6, the Enduro more visibly introduces these new software features: Now, I’m going to harp on the fact that this is feature-wise identical to a Fenix 6 base unit, except just with solar, a bigger battery, and a nylon strap. If you found this post useful, consider becoming a DCR Supporter which makes the site ad-free, while also getting access to a mostly weekly video series behind the scenes of the DCR Cave. But once I’m done with this loaner device for this review, I’ll box it up and send it back to Garmin. But we’ll dive into all that in a second.įirst note that I’ve had this watch for a while now, putting it through its paces in all manner of workouts and winter meanderings – long and short. Plus there’s a lightly updated version of ClimbPro, which now tracks/displays descents, and can trigger alerts before the climb starts. These metrics are also now available for Fenix 6 and FR945 users too, thus giving credence to Garmin sometimes offering features to ‘older’ watches. Rather, Garmin says the Enduro is a new underlying platform – one that enables them to boast what I suspect is the longest GPS battery life of any device out there.īeyond the battery though, it adds in Rest Timers and proper trail running VO2 max metrics, both focused on trail and ultra runners. That kind of battery life wasn’t just Garmin stuffing a bigger battery into it. The Enduro’s baseline battery claims start off at 80 hours of normal GPS-on time with solar enabled (and optical HR enabled too), but then soar up to 300 hours of GPS battery life in certain configurations. When the dust has settled this week – the Fenix 6 & Enduro watches will have virtually identical software.īut that hides what’s actually happening under the covers. At first glance you might think this is merely another variant of the Fenix 6 series, and in many ways you’d be right. It’s even got new features that Garmin has formally introduced here (yes, they’re coming to existing watches, more on that in the next section). Which isn’t to say the watch is bad – far from it. And Garmin is betting that you’ll pay extra for that feature over and above a normal base Garmin Fenix 6 unit. Be it GPS battery life or daily watch use battery life, there’s no Garmin watch that goes as long as the Enduro. Let’s just get this out of the way upfront: There’s precisely one reason – and ONLY one reason to buy the Garmin Enduro: You want really long battery life, and are OK with that at the expense of any other feature.
