I have the enduro 1 and it’s still crushing it. Lasts two months with notifications on and everything if I don’t use the gps too much.
Enduro 1 : \~ 40 days. If your main concern is battery life go for the enduro.
Fenix 7 pro gets 36 hours of GPS, Enduro goes even longer. This is far more than you will get from a phone and recharging takes far less power than a phone. There is absolutely no comparison (and let's not even get started on GPS accuracy between Strava app on a phone and a dedicated GPS watch).
Bought a second hand Garmin Enduro Gen 1 for £100 on vinted. No watch is beating this battery life and simple maps are more than enough. Used it on GTA, TMB, no problem
If you want max battery like I did, go with the Enduro. I bought the Enduro 1 used about 2 years ago and still wear it, has about 35 days of battery, with normal use.
Enduro V1 Mega battery life and MIP for the outdoors win 🤙 Also C.B.F paying for a new one till it dies
Have an OG enduro, I thought the battery life got worse on the were models?
I mean, that's AI slop as the enduro 1 does have both multinetwork gnss support and ultratrac low polling GPS mode. However, it does look like the 3 is better, I paid £400 for my Enduro 1 titanium.
I have the original enduro. Still works as good as day one. Sure I would like the new features on the enduro 3 but I’m a use it until it dies person.
