Enduro 3

That month doesn't include hours of tracking each day. That will cut it down to about a week or less. (Source: Garmin Enduro 3 owner)

I got the Enduro 3 with a 20% off coupon by downloading the Optimity app and playing Yatzee until I had enough points for the Garmin coupon. It brought the cost below $800 including tax.

I ended up going with the Enduro 3 from a Fenix 6 for the reason you stated. I didn’t need the dive feature and speaker as well

I went from an AW to first an Epix pro gen 2 and then an Enduro 3. Although I did like Siri on my wrist, I can still change my music from my current Garmin, and see the notifications I’m getting so I feel I’m not really missing much. I prefer to type on my phone anyway as Siri isn’t the greatest at making words work haha I find the battery life, the durability and just « this is a watch » of the Garmin will keep me. I don’t have a mini phone on my wrist and my eyes prefer the MIP screen. And then there’s the flashlight function. My god what a game changer and so practical, from checking on kids at night to looking for things to doing work with tools. I find I don’t baby my Garmin as much because I’m not worried about smashing the screen or scratching the finish. There’s also less of a concerns for me personally for water damage and something about physical buttons that I love. That’s all I can think off the top of my head, but I’ll never go back to AW and I’m very much ingrained in the apple ecosystem in all other areas.

If u want only a watch: your best take is the Enduro 3. If you want a 'computer', Look at the Edge models Like 1040 (mip Display) or 1050 (amoled Display)
