Garmin Enduro 3 vs Garmin Forerunner 255

I love my Enduro 3. The longest hike I've used it on so far was the Grand Canyon; 4 days. I used GPS the entire time we were moving and the map function anytime we questioned where the trail was. I still had 24 days of battery remaining when we finished.

Garmin absolutely nailed it with the Enduro 3. I'm glad you're enjoying yours as much as I'm enjoying mine. I've had it for about a month and a half.

With the Enduro 3, I just ran for 2 hours and the battery life went from 96 to 92%. The solar charging isn’t a gimmick anymore. Plus the additional data it provides is really interesting.

Upgraded from a Fenix 6 Pro to the Enduro 3 two days ago and all I can say is wow. I think the only flaw is that they don't make smaller versions for people with smaller wrists.

BUT - I just ordered Enduro 3 as an adition to my AWU3. ... The E3 is definitely a beast.

Parent context: Nice. I thought of getting the music version but didn't go ahead with it. Reply: I love how easy the timer function is to use. And the alarm wakes me up by buzzing, so my partner doesnt get disturbed in the morning. It also is great for telling me how bad i am sleeping

Parent context: I had 255 and now I have 265.. of course everything is more advanced.. screen is 1000x better.. More activities added.. I turned off touchscreen, I don’t need it too.. Reply: It's literally the same watch, with just OLED and Training Readiness.

If you don't need music on your watch (will be running with your phone either way), go with 255. It's worth it.

At those prices, 255 would be my vote. ... otherwise 255 is cool.
