Garmin Enduro 2 announced as the flagship smartwatch for endurance athletes
Professional runners and endurance athletes often rely on Garmin products for their training and competitions and the Garmin Enduro 2 is the latest high-end offering from the brand. The watch brings solar charging, a 150-hour rated battery life with GPS on and a $1,100 price tag.
Enduro 2 features a fiber-reinforced polymer casing with a titanium rear cover and titanium bezel. The 1.4-inch AMOLED color touch screen brings a 280 x 280 px resolution and is covered with sapphire crystal for added durability. Enduro 2 comes bundled with a nylon sport loop band though it is compatible with Garminâs silicone bands as well. Thereâs onboard Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and ANT+ connectivity.
The watch is 10ATM water resistant 32GB onboard storage which can store up to 2,000 songs. Thereâs even a LED flashlight for nighttime training.
Enduro 2 brings heart rate (Garmin Elevate v4 heart rate sensor), SpO2, sleep and stress monitoring alongside a plethora of fitness tracking features including a visual race predictor, topographical maps, grade-adjusted pace, running dynamics and more.
Garmin claims battery life in smartwatch-only mode is rated at up to 46 days which factors in the Enduro 2âs solar charging panel. The battery saver mode extends those values up to 550 days. The watch comes with multiband GNSS with SatIQ â a useful feature that only selects the most power-efficient GPS signal in a bid to extend battery life. The watch also supports Garmin Pay.
Pricing is set at $1,100 and the watch is already available on Garminâs website.
