The Garmin Enduro solar smartwatch has launched in the US as the brand most rugged adventure wearable yet, pairing solar charging with an exceptional 65-day battery life in smartwatch mode. Built for ultra-endurance athletes, it combines a clear OLED display with heart-rate and SpO2 sensors that track blood oxygen on long expeditions. Here is everything confirmed so far, including the price.
Garmin Enduro solar smartwatch: design and display
The Enduro is engineered for ultra adventures, with an attractive build and a 1.4-inch OLED display running at a 280x280 pixel resolution. Its standout feature is solar charging, which helps stretch run time far beyond a typical sports watch.
On the wellness side, the watch carries a heart-rate sensor alongside an SpO2 sensor that measures the amount of oxygen in the blood, useful for monitoring effort at altitude.
