What's Actually New?
Key Points:
- Garmin has launched the Enduro 4, an upgraded version of the Enduro 3 with faster processor, 50% more RAM, doubled storage (64GB), and all Fenix 9 software features, while maintaining the same battery life and display specs.
- The Enduro 4 introduces material changes like the new ComfortFit band replacing UltraFit, a grey titanium bezel, and a slight weight increase to 66g, but keeps the same 1.4” MIP display and solar charging capabilities.
- Most new software features introduced on Enduro 4, including advanced stamina metrics, rucking tools, indoor rowing updates, and new mapping functions, will also be available to Enduro 3 and Fenix 8 users via future updates.
- Compared to the Fenix 9 series, the Enduro 4 is lighter, thinner, and more battery-optimized but lacks features like LTE, inReach satellite messaging, microphone/speaker, scuba diving tools, and multiple size options; it is priced at $899 versus $999+ for Fenix 9 models.
- Mapping performance is improved on Enduro 4 over Enduro 3 but not dramatically faster; new features like Perspective View enhance navigation, though real-world usage of on-device route creation remains limited for most users.
