Performance Tool Capabilities
Enduro 3 includes performance metrics, including VO2 max, training load, heat and altitude acclimation, and more. Track CV fitness levels with a trail run VO2 max, which automatically adjusts based on the varying trail and terrain conditions. The ultrarun activity features a rest timer to log time spent at aid stations. Plan race day strategy using PacePro to receive GPS-based pace guidance for selected courses or distances and use grade-adjusted pace technology to receive an equivalent running pace at the same effort on flat ground or when ascending. To tackle hills, ClimbPro displays real-time information on current and upcoming climbs while following a downloaded course.

Made for the Trails
Featuring preloaded worldwide TopoActive maps, Enduro 3 also offers an Outdoor Maps+ subscription for more mapping content, including satellite imagery and enhanced topographic maps. Navigate trails with the NextFork Map Guide on the watch to see the distance to the next intersection and the trail name, or follow turn-by-turn directions on courses created in Garmin Connect. During a race, the up ahead feature provides awareness for selected POI checkpoints, like aid stations.

Health and Fitness Monitoring
Enduro 3 can track HRV status, Pulse Ox4, sleep, jet lag, energy and stress levels, and more. New to the Enduro lineup, the FDA-cleared ECG app can help users record their heart rhythm and check for signs of atrial fibrillation (AFib) from their wrist. Outside of a run, Enduro 3 includes dozens of preloaded activity profiles, including swimming, biking, golfing, and skiing. Athletes can also follow animated cardio, strength, yoga, and Pilates workouts from the watch or follow sport-specific workouts for athletes of all types, including ultra runners, hikers and cyclists.

Stay Connected
Enduro 3 adds the Garmin Messenger app to allow users to communicate with friends and family via two-way text messaging from the watch when both the sender and receiver of messages have the Garmin Messenger app installed on their paired smartphones. Garmin Share lets users share saved locations, courses and workouts with other compatible Garmin devices. When paired with a compatible smartphone, users can view their smart notifications and workouts with safety and tracking features like incident detection, assistance and LiveTrack. They can also breeze through checkout lines with Garmin Pay contactless payments and download songs from Spotify, Deezer or Amazon Music (premium subscription required) for phone-free listening.
