Featuring preloaded TopoActive maps from around the world, Enduro 3 can help keep explorations on track. An Outdoor Maps+ subscription provides even more premium mapping content, like satellite imagery and enhanced topographic maps right on the watch. Navigate the trails with NextFork Map Guide 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.
Training & Activities
Along with the rollout of the Garmin fénix 8 and fénix E multisport watches, the Enduro 3 features advanced strength training. You can elevate performance with targeted, 4-6-week strength training plans to help meet personal goals. Plus access sport-specific workouts for various activities and built-in apps tailored for runners, cyclists, hikers, and more.
Whether taking to the road or the trails, Enduro 3 includes premium performance metrics like:
- VO2 max, training load, heat and altitude acclimation and more.
- Track cardiovascular fitness levels with trail run VO2 max, which automatically adjusts based on the varying trail and terrain conditions that can affect run performance.
- The ultrarun activity features a rest timer and lets athletes log their 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 the hills, ClimbPro displays real-time information on current and upcoming climbs while following a downloaded course.
