Garmin has announced the Enduro 4, the newest model in its line of endurance-focused smartwatches. It costs $899.99 and goes on sale October 9th. Like previous Enduro models, this watch is designed primarily for trail runners, hikers, and people who spend long periods away from a charger.
Garmin Enduro 4 Specifications
The watch comes with impressive battery life, lasting up to 36 days in standard smartwatch mode. This can be extended to 90 days with solar charging, provided the watch receives three hours of direct sunlight daily. For continuous GPS tracking, it offers up to 80 hours of battery life, which increases to 144 hours with solar charging.
To manage this power efficiency, Garmin is using a 1.4-inch transflective memory-in-pixel (MIP) display. It doesn’t have the bright colors or high contrast of the OLED screens found on the newer Fenix or Epix models, but it uses much less power and is easy to read outdoors.
It is a large watch, featuring a 51mm case made from a fiber-reinforced polymer and a titanium bezel. Even with the large size, it weighs a relatively light 66 grams with the included nylon fabric strap. Garmin has also included a built-in LED flashlight, a hardware feature that has become standard on its recent outdoor watches.
On the software side, Garmin has introduced several features designed for long-distance activities. The new Garmin Epic feature allows users to track and review health and performance data from multi-day activities in a single continuous view.
The watch also supports grade-adjusted pace workouts, which automatically adjust pace targets based on changes in elevation along the route. Additionally, Garmin has added a pack weight setting that accounts for the extra weight of a backpack when calculating performance metrics during hiking or running.
For navigation, the Enduro 4 comes with preloaded TopoActive maps. It uses Garmin’s SatIQ technology to automatically switch between multi-band GPS and lower-power GPS modes, balancing location accuracy with battery consumption.
It also supports dynamic round-trip routing, which maps a new way back to your start point if you wander off your original path. Standard health tracking features are included, such as an FDA-cleared ECG app, blood oxygen monitoring, and sleep tracking. You can also send two-way text messages from the wrist using the Garmin Messenger app, as long as it is connected to a phone.
In related news, Xiaomi has recently launched the Watch S5 41mm with HyperOS 4, dual-band UV tracking, and up to 14 days of battery life, alongside the Watch S5 Transparent Edition featuring a see-through glass body.
