"they're super rugged, reliable and lasting"
"I have had my Xtreme 3 since launch and it is still going strong after countless camping trips and hard drops on cement. ... They both just bounce and nothing is wrong."
"It is also near on indestructible ... I am dyspraxic and have a tendency to end up arse-over-teapot more often than I will admit and not once has this thing been damaged, and it has seen its fair share of rocks to the face."

"the battery lasts 2 weeks, that's with 5 days worth of tracking runs and day to day use. Incredible."
"16 days battery life on my fenix. ... The other aspect I really appreciate about my fenix is the battery life. 16 days or so. With everything I have to change these days (laptops, mice, keyboards, headphones, watches, phones), I appreciate not having to worry about it too often."
"Oh, and the battery lasts days even when exercising a lot (weeks without excercise)."

"it has the flashlight, probably the most useful tool I’ve ever had in my life. You’ll use it daily and it’s so helpful in the most random times."
"Flashlight on my Fenix is worth A LOT of money to me. ... Having had it, I could not go back. ... I would happily pay 200 extra for it I use it so much. ... Having a flashlight on your wrist is incredibly handy."
"On my fenix 7, I love the flash light...totally unexpected top 3 feature. :)"

"Pretty much unmatched in terms of battery life for being a full featured GPS watch with mapping."
"The 965 has much better mapping when you don't have a phone on you ... I got the 965 for the extra mapping features."
"love the map features of my 965 ... It gets me back to the hotel every time. ... I don't run with a phone because I absolutely hate the distraction."

"I used to find that wrist HR sucked for rowing"
"the hr reading is incorrect. ... 20 dollars band from Samsung does a better job"
"The discrepancy is much higher for HR than running dynamics. ... I think it is straight up irresponsible to rely on wrist-based HR is you’re using HR as a part of training"

"The only improvement I want to see is a revised strength platform like you mentioned. ... The only disappointment is the strength training interface. I'm still using my Fitbod app -- the only app I continue to subscribe to that I had hoped to replace."

"Garmin course management is just clunky."
Just wanted to mention the Garmin Enduro models, seeing as you're after battery life. The Enduro 2 claims 110 hours of GPS, plus whatever solar adds (up to 150 max). I just grabbed a used one and am very happy with it so far. I believe it's basically a 7X Solar with a bigger battery. Not strictly the Pro model you mention researching but maybe close enough for consideration.
r/Ultramarathon • Watches - Coros Vertix 2s, Garmin Fenix 7 Pro or 8 Pro ->I have the Enduro 2. Ran navigation continuously and received text updates throughout for 37hrs. The watch still had something like 35% battery remaining after. It'd a great watch and probably on for a good price now the Enduro 3 is out
r/Ultramarathon • Best watch for 100 miler? ->I would recommend either Epix Gen2 or Enduro 2. For hiking, especially if you're going to do multi-day hikes, bigger battery in 51mm options could be handy.
r/GarminWatches • Best watch for general sports tracking and hiking? ->My watch is a tool, not a fashion statement, so I've always gone with 51mm even though yeah it's probably too big for me, don't care lol
r/GarminWatches • The ultimate Garmin watch size guide ->https://preview.redd.it/7fhs78of36xe1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9203c8b09dff4c3250f76de1cca6e3baaa1ea018 I have big wrists and arms and a 51mm is still a monster watch. I love it though and honestly don’t think anyone else cares how big your watch is. Added bonus - it can be used to break down a door in an emergency
r/GarminWatches • The ultimate Garmin watch size guide ->I own a Fenix 6X Pro. I like the cheapness, battery life and no touchscreen. If I had to buy another watch today I would get an Enduro 2 most likely. Run 30 - 40 miles per week.
r/Garmin • What's the best Garmin for running these days? ->I hope you enjoy it and become a running monster!!!! Have a question. Would you please turn the metronome during a running session and let me know about it? Is it audible?? I have an Enduro 2 and an Epix Pro 2 51mm and both of them are quitet to the point I have to place attention and raise the wrist to be closer to the ear... I'm considering selling both...
r/Garmin • Hello, Forerunner 970 ->Agree with everything you said. I’ve been rocking the Enduro 2 for almost 2 years. Great watch in every way. The only improvement I want to see is a revised strength platform like you mentioned. I hope my watch gets the update that your watch has that adds supplemental strength workouts to Garmin running coach plans.
r/Garmin • Enduro 3 - two months in review ->Nope, sorry, I disagree. Always go the 51mm for that battery life. It’s a fact
r/GarminWatches • The ultimate Garmin watch size guide ->I’ve also got used Enduro 2. 65+ hours on 200 miler and still 39% battery life.
r/Ultramarathon • Watches - Coros Vertix 2s, Garmin Fenix 7 Pro or 8 Pro ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
