Garmin Enduro 2 - The ultimate ultra watch

Garmin Enduro 2 is as ultra as it gets. If you're interested in the best watch for ultra running, keep reading!

Garmin Enduro 2 is the high-end multisport watch targeted at ultra running with an extra focus on durability. The watch is very similar to a Garmin Fenix 7 in both appearance and internals, but Garmin Enduro 2 is specifically made with ultra running in mind. Therefore, the watch has several features that make it much more useful for adventurers and runners who enjoy the longest distances, and of course, it includes all the things you know from a Garmin Fenix 7.


The watch has the best battery life available right now. 46(!) days Garmin Enduro 2 can last on battery in smartwatch mode. That is extremely long, and nine days longer than Garmin Fenix 7X, and in GPS mode, you get 150 hours of battery. Additionally, the watch is equipped with both a silicone and a nylon strap. The nylon strap weighs less than the silicone strap and offers more adjustment options in terms of fit.

Size-wise, the watch has the same dimensions as a Fenix 7X. That means the watch has a diameter of 51mm and the actual display is 35.56 mm in diameter. Like the Fenix 7X, Garmin Enduro 2 is equipped with a built-in flashlight. However, in Garmin Enduro 2 the flashlight is twice as powerful, so it can easily light up a dark forest for evening runs.

Garmin Enduro 2 has all the same features found in a Fenix 7 Sapphire Solar, including solar charging, navigation and heart rate monitor. Therefore, you get preloaded topographic maps (including over 40,000 golf courses and most ski resorts), MultiBand GNSS, Sapphire screen with solar panels, and as many activity profiles as the heart desires. In addition, Garmin Enduro 2 also has some new features that I list below.

SatIQ

With SatIQ, your watch automatically chooses the satellite configuration that is best for you. If it's in GPS-challenging areas, the watch puts MultiBand on, and if it's in flat terrain without turns, the watch itself switches to a simple solution. This way, your Garmin Enduro 2 gps watch gets a good signal while using the least amount of battery and extending the watch's battery life with the efficient tracking feature.

NextFork

With NextFork, you are constantly guided when using the map in your Garmin Enduro 2. The function tells you how far it is to the next road junction, and it also tells you what the road or path is called, so you can keep track of where you are when you run in unknown terrain.

Updated training status andtraining plan

Your Garmin Enduro 2 can provide a detailed training plan towards a goal you set. If you're aiming for a half marathon, you can add it to your Garmin Connect calendar and set your desired pace. Then, your Garmin Enduro 2 will devise a plan considering your current training status, optimizing your strengths and weaknesses.

HRV Status

Keep complete track of your recovery with Garmin Enduro 2's updated HRV status. By monitoring your HRV, you'll know if your body is too tired for a hard training session or ready for intense training. You can read our HRV guide here.
