Garmin’s Solar Super Watch Is Built For Extreme Endurance


AMANDA FURRER AND RYAN SCOTT |

Garmin’s Enduro 2 is no longer a stripped down version of the Fenix for the sake of longer battery life. The newest version of the ultra-endurance watch nearly doubles the battery life of the first Enduro during activity, and lasts for 120 hours in normal GPS mode with optical heart rate active.

RW video producer Pat Heine-Holmberg used the watch for a month and a half, with GPS tracking on regular training runs and bike commuting to the office, as well as a 15-hour run in the Alps with navigation, and only had to recharge the watch once. But it’s easy to fine tune battery performance to your adventures, if you need even longer run time, and the menu makes it easy to know how many hours you’ll gain or lose by turning different sensors on and off.

Daily-use features like Garmin Pay, music apps, and a touch screen, really make it a tool of convenience on the go. For trail adventures and ultra racing, the Enduro 2 now has access to more satellite systems, topo maps for navigation, and even a decent flashlight that is bright enough to use as an emergency backup if your headlamp fails on the trail.

 

You can spend the whole December holidays going through the many in-depth functions of the Enduro 2 and still have more to investigate in January 2023. Going to the coast anybody? How about the surf-specific features? When Enduro is paired with the Surfline Sessions™ app on your compatible smartphone, you can create a video of every wave you wipe out on right in front of your Surfline® camera. Watch the videos later to see the action. When it comes to running though, that’s when this smartwatch really comes into its own.

Here are five features to enhance your running experience: 

PACEPRO™ TECHNOLOGY
A first-of-its-kind PacePro feature helps keep you on pace with grade-adjusted guidance as you run a course.

NAVIGATION SENSORS
Navigate your next trail with ABC sensors, including an altimeter for elevation data, a barometer to monitor the weather and 3-axis electronic compass.

SOLAR-CHARGED BATTERY
Get up to 80 hours of battery life in GPS mode, up to 300 hours in max battery mode and up to 65 days in smartwatch mode with solar charging.

HEAT AND ALTITUDE ACCLIMATION
Prepare yourself for any environment. See how your body is holding up in different environments with heat and altitude acclimation .

SAFETY AND TRACKING FEATURES
If you feel unsafe, or if your watch senses that an incident occurred, assistance and incident detection sends your location to an emergency contact.
