Garmin Trail Running Watch Launched

After the launch of its GPS running watch range, Garmin has just recently launched its next flagship watch, the Garmin Enduro 3.

This watch can be pre-ordered for $799. It shares quite a few similarities with other Garmin watches, but it also has a few key differences.

At first glance, this watch shares the same form factor as the previous Garmin Fenix devices (Fenix 7, Enduro 2 and Forerunner 965). However, as soon as you turn it around, it’s instantly apparent that it’s much lighter. I believe this is due to the use of a carbon fibre-reinforced polymer case.

It seems quite pricey, considering that the Garmin Forerunner 255 is less than half the price. However, it is comparable to many other higher-end consumer GPS running watches, such as the Coros Vertix 2 and Polar Grit X2 Pro.

While it’s hard to judge how well this will perform without any third-party testing, it will undoubtedly integrate well with the Garmin Connect app, which is already a strong point for these watches.

I’m hoping to be able to test one soon!
