Other models, like the Garmin Fenix 8 and Venu X1, are smarter and flashier. However, neither the Fenix 8 nor the Venu X1 can last as long as the Garmin Enduro 3. Even as I\u2019ve dabbled with other smartwatches, I keep coming back the Enduro, and it\u2019s still on-sale after <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/tag\/black-friday\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/tag\/black-friday\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Black Friday<\/a> as we look ahead to Cyber Monday.<\/p>\n<p>To truly appreciate how crazy it is that the Enduro 3 is only $750 for a limited time, you need a bit of backstory. Garmin loaded the Enduro 3 full of features, but shaved $200 off the retail price compared to the Enduro 2. So, the Garmin Enduro 3 is already a solid value at $900, but it\u2019s way better when Amazon, Best Buy, and Target take another $150 off.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-94168ca0-7368-4bde-a113-cc54fd4e1c41\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-url=\"\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"10afc7ff-b108-4605-8acb-dbe437037bb9\">\u2705Recommended if: you want a Garmin with the longest battery life; you need all-systems GPS and advanced fitness features; you\u2019d like a bunch of storage space for offline maps.<\/p>\n<p>\u274cSkip this deal if: you want a slimmer watch; you have a smaller budget and could live with a Forerunner or Venu watch.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-bae6b378-4c4f-4275-96cb-670fff57fd1b\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-url=\"\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\"\/>What I love about the Garmin Enduro 3<\/p>\n<p id=\"ba70724c-8823-45a0-bab1-129bee872032\">There\u2019s a lot to love about the Garmin Enduro 3, but it all comes back to the battery life. I use the state-of-the-art Garmin Elevate v5 heart rate sensor to track regular walking, running, and hiking workouts, plus the occasional sleep tracking session. Even with all of that GPS tracking, I consistently get at least three weeks of usage out of the Enduro 3. When the dreaded \u201clow battery\u201d notification comes in, I usually have another week to charge it.<\/p>\n<p>I rotate a few other premium smartwatches in, like the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/wearables\/samsung-galaxy-watch\/samsung-galaxy-watch-8-review\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/wearables\/samsung-galaxy-watch\/samsung-galaxy-watch-8-review\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Samsung Galaxy Watch 8<\/a> and the Apple Watch Ultra 3. But guess which watch I turn to when I forget to charge one of those models on a given night? The Garmin Enduro 3. I can take it on a work trip and leave the charger at home. This kind of battery will change your life as soon as you give it a try.<\/p>\n<p>More recently, I\u2019ve been loving all of Garmin\u2019s third-party app integrations. The Garmin Connect platform gets a bit data-dense for me at times, but I have my Enduro 3 set up to automatically upload my workout data to Nike Run Club and Meta AI as well. So, I can use <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/wearables\/oakley-meta-vanguard-smart-glasses-review\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/wearables\/oakley-meta-vanguard-smart-glasses-review\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Autocapture with Garmin on my Oakley Meta Vanguard<\/a> sunglasses to track my runs and record live video thanks the Enduro 3. Plus, it\u2019s all cross-platform, so I can pair my Garmin with iOS and Android as needed.<\/p>\n<p>The Garmin Enduro 3 is a sleeper pick, especially with $150 off until this deal runs out. It might not be as sexy as the Fenix 8 or Venu X1, but it\u2019s irreplaceable for me. If you\u2019re tired of nightly (or weekly) charging and want the best Garmin tech, grab this Enduro 3 deal while you can.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-f6d9cbca-55d1-41d0-bbd0-76c110e0a869\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-url=\"\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s best Garmin Enduro 3 GPS Smartwatch deals<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-d6915e64-d2ce-4056-9182-12c2f25b0468\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-url=\"\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\"\/>Black Friday 2025 \u2014 quick links<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Enduro 3 is one of the last classic Garmin adventure watches, complete with an MIP display, month-long&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":315941,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[49,48,195,61],"class_list":{"0":"post-315940","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gadgets","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-gadgets","11":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315940","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=315940"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315940\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/315941"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=315940"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=315940"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=315940"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
