Whether you’re a diehard Strava God or you’re one of the few (and proud!) resolutioners who’ve stuck with their 2026 fitness goals thus far, there comes a time in every aspiring ripped person’s life when they decide that in order to take their training to the next level, they need to invest in a smartwatch. And, though it’s decidedly not the magic secret to blowing through your next PR, a quality smartwatch can track important health and athletic metrics, which will help you structure your training more effectively and track your progress over time. That’s why I was so psyched to try out the Garmin Enduro 3. I put this smartwatch to the test on the trail, in the surf, on horseback, and at the campsite—here’s what I think.
The Do-Everything, Take-Everywhere Watch
The Enduro 3 comes in matte black with just one size option, 51MM, which is admittedly large, but doesn’t feel overwhelming thanks to the watch’s low weight and low-profile design. You’ll be hard-pressed to damage the titanium bezel and the scratch-resistant sapphire lens, which attach snugly to your wrist with the included black UltraFit nylon strap. It is easily adjustable and fits with the overarching tactical theme, and while it probably won’t win over any watch guys… it’s not really supposed to. The Enduro 3 is billed as an adventure watch designed for ultramarathoners, but it comes preloaded to support over 70 activity profiles, including everything from cycling and running to stand-up paddleboarding, horseback riding, and more. It also keeps working for you once the activity is finished.
The Garmin coach feature helps you set activity goals and provides structured training plans to achieve them based on your current fitness level. Getting back on your bike after an extended hiatus and wanting to crush a 100-mile ride? Set your desired date, and Garmin Coach will build a plan to make sure you get there. The built-in sleep tracking works similarly to a Whoop, providing insights into metrics like sleep stage lengths, resting heart rate, and HRV. It will provide you with a nightly sleep score and notify you if a “sleep debt” has accrued—a good excuse to take a longer slumber than normal.
