Dude I really like how you can tell this guy really did his HW and memorized so much detail

Of all the Garmin reviewers this is my favorite. Never was convinced to get a watch until now. I prefer the color options of 7X but wish Enduro had some. Anyway love your finer points I never considered and that you don’t shy with sharing detailed data. Thanks!

Ive put tooooo many hours into reviewing utility type smart watches...... that being said, I am glad I came across this review video. Garmin Enduro 2 it is. It has everything i could ever want and relevant for years to come. Build like a tank, sapphire glass, solar, large screen, touch screen, beautiful accurate topo map (WITH NAMES), accurate GPS, loads quick and generally a slick looking watch.......DONE DEAL. An investment that will be worth it 5 years down the road. Thanks for the review man!

Thank you for all these reviews! My Garmin Forerunner 935 is still going strong even after 5 years, but all your Garmin review videos have helped me to see what Garmin I could upgrade to next.

Note for all you brand new Enduro 2 owners! You may not see Training Readiness and HRV status on your device. If this is the case, the firmware for those features hasn't yet been released but rest assured it's coming in the next quarterly release which is right around the corner. However, if you just can't wait and you'd like to test out these features now, you can sign up for Garmin's public beta program by logging into your Garmin Connect account on the web, selecting the watch icon in the top-right corner, find the correct watch and select ‘Device Settings.’ Then ‘Join Beta Software Program’ option. Just note of course that it is indeed beta software so it may not be fully baked so you may experience bugs here or there. Hope this clears things up for some folks! Thanks!

Fantastic video Des!! This is basically my dream device haha, goodbye 955, it was lovely getting to know you 🙈🤣

i love that your reviews include plenty of shots of the watch.

Nice job Des! That intro was awesome!

I've had a 6X Sapphire for a couple of months now and am considering an upgrade to an Enduro 2 once I hit my end fitness goals. Great review of all features Des. Between you and Ray, it makes it very easy to start lusting over these smartwatches after watching reviews!

Love my 7x light ... Great for those 3am "bio breaks" :) Thanks for the great video !

After seeing this review, I bought one of those ultrafit bands for my 6X and it's a game changer. So light and comfortable! Thanks for these videos!

dude great quality videos, organized, great sound and directly to the point. thanks, I just need to see this video and done, I can make a decision.

Just purchased an Enduro 2. So excited! Was going to get a Fenix 7x or Tactix 7 earlier this year but I'm glad I waited until November

I got the Enduro 2 this week and was worried it would be too big. I was coming from the samsung galaxy 4 watch. I don't hardly notice it and am having no trouble sleeping with it. I do notice it a bit when running. Love the watch. Yes the flashlight is amazing. Thanks for your great reviews.

Thanks for a great comprehensive review. I've done Mt. Sanitas myself back in the day and those metrics would have been fun and useful to look at. Apart from the lack of AMOLED, what a device. It was gratifying also that you covered all the main features in one video.

Your reviews are top notch! Helped me decide. Enduro 2. Black Friday sale! Yes!

My 6X has served me very well for a few years now. This may tempt me to upgrade ahead of the 7X! Cheers for the review.

Got my enduro 2 today i love it

loved the "take my money" bit.

Thanks for taking the time to give us all so much information! If not for the neon green, this would be an easy decision over the Fenix 7X SS. Love the idea of the brighter LED and even longer battery! Probably be standard in the Fenix 8X SS. 😄

Great review mate. I’ve had the Enduro 2 for a month and this thing is an absolute machine. Love it

Great review Des,I've had my Garmin Fenix 5x for 5 years without a problem,I Love it,but unfortunately Garmin doesn't upgrade older watches now days,so I've just bought a Enduro 2 can't wait to use it for the next 5 years or longer,thankyou Des.

Finally someone asking for that Velcro Strap in 22mm 🥲 Please Garmin !

Des, great review and really like your narrative. LIke the fact that you did not split your video in sections but rather be very specific to have a shorter video - 18 min-. Your fisrt statement "it's got everything". True for garmin even on the price tag. Cheers from Mexico.

I love watching these reviews. I am looking at upgrading and stuck between the Fenix 7 pro solar vs the enduro 2. I think the battery life is more important (however slight the difference is) thank you for this and keep up the great work!

Exactly! A 22mm UltraFit band would definitely net Garmin some sales.

Thank you for this review. Very useful. Currently using Suunto 9 and its battery suddenly started eating up rapidly. Considering to buy new one. Showing the accuracy of GPS track with comparison of 2 models is really interesting info for ultra trail runner. Appreciated.

I have the Fenix 7, best watch for cycling I have owned. I have the Varia radar, ant+ devices, ect. I actually like the extended display option. Typically, I’ll do 2 activities a day. My battery life is only about a week. Still way better than the Apple Ultra. Next time, I’ll consider the Enduro series after a few years.

just bought a cheap nylon band for my fenix 6 pro,im happy

Dude, you have the best presentations Des!!! Keep it up

What a beast of a watch. I am still happy with my 5x but maybe is time to upgrade soon. Tons of features for the the multi sports adventure person, I would end using (running, trail, weight and walk) but still very nice looking watch.

I just bought my Garmin Enduro 2 today, waiting for it to get delivered. I can not wait to start using it and experiencing its features.

Great review as always Des! Very helpful!

Thanks Des, really appreciate your reviews. I have a base Fenix 7s and the only feature that I really want is the flash light!

As a Canadian hiker, hunter, mountain biker, and ATV explorer. After a bunch of research the Foreigner 965 and Endo 2 are my top choices to replace my basic Instinct so I can have the mapping. Price is not the issue, but I can't decide if I want the light weight and Amoled of the FR 965 for my aging eyes, or the the huge battery and all the extra features of the E2.

Well I know what I want for Christmas now 😅. Thanks Des great review

Thanks for this perfect review, this is an amazing watch. Currently I use the 955 but in future this watch will maybe also get in my collection!

Great review. Looking at upgrading my fenix 6x pro and love this input. Thank you 🙏

Awesome video Des! I have a 7x and am impressed with the extra features the Enduro 2 provides 👍

Great review Des,I've just upgraded to the Enduro 2 and it doesn't disappoint it's Amazing,I previously had the Fenix 5x for 5 years which was Awesome to,still going but no updates,can't go wrong with Garmin👍💪

Excellent review. I’ve had the Tactix Charlie for a couple years and love it but this is the watch I’ve been waiting for!!

Just bought a 6x pro, but this Enduro 2 is giving me watch envy!

That's really good to know about the updated HR monitor... My first gen instinct solar is SOoo bad with wrist HR. Even switching it to my right wrist when my left is full of tattoos. It never reads correctly.

What a fantastic review! I’m in the research mode, and your review has really impressed me with this watch. Two questions: (1) Titanium bezel on back - what is the bezel material on the front? (2) Does Garmin have a golf app that can be downloaded on this watch? Garmin’s S62, for example, has this, allowing the golfer to know distances to hazards and the flag. Thank you very much!

There is a another slight hardware difference, the Garmin logo is now bigger and fits the cutout.

My 51mm 5X is going to be upgraded to this new watch. Looks amazing

Awesome review as usual! Thanks! 👍

Great review! Good job.

Great review. Now thinking of getting this vs the Fenix

One critical feature that was missing for me on Garmins was the lack of constant vibration when receiving a phone call. Is it still the case? Does it only vibrate a couple of times and stops even if the phone call ring is ongoing?

very helpful! Thank you!

Thank you @DesFit. Great watch. I’d buy this if I didn’t blow my Garmin budget on the 7x and Epix(2). These watches are tanks. Love them.

Nice review. Many thanks.

I have the original Enduro and I think it’s great. I just can’t believe they made it better. Great vid btw

I’m deciding between this watch and the Edge 1040. I use the Rally XC 200 pedals paired with my Edge 530 and Polar Vantage V2 and H10.I’m a Polar fan since the older models but it’s obvious that Garmin is leading the charge with more battery life and features.

Doing the Tahoe 200 next year and think I’ll have to go with the enduro over the vertix 2

Des, thx for the great reviews. Would love your thoughts on Epix 2 vs Enduro 2. Thinking about an upgrade…..

Just loving your review Des!always makes a difference to me to finally make a selection! Wanted to ask you if enduro is still worth buying and if gill score is a feature thats on with latest firmware...is the multiband same as dual frequency? Thanks in advance

Thank you for this amazing review I will probably go for enduro 2

Thanks for a nice review! I'm searching for an upgrade from my Suunto9 and right now (I'm afraid) the Enduro2 will be it. Thank god I'm not married and have to show where the money went :P

Just bought enduro 2. Your the man

Thanks for great review! It looks like I will have to upgrade from my Fenix 6s ... It should be possible to run a long river paddling race with this watch, 50-65 hours. You didn't mention sleep tracking. I am trying to optimize my sleep.

Great review man. I'm fairly impressed with my 955 solar though I'm still learning the features and abilities lol. I did a few tests runs and was impressed. Anywayz I'm a Garmin fan lol. ✌🏿

Great video! Very informative and to the point.

amazing review. and accurate. congrats.

Love it des!!!!

I was stuck on the fenix 7x pro solar sapphire. But now I'm considering the Enduro 2. Is the main difference the battery and thicker case minus the upgraded HR sensor?

Excellent Comparison

$599.99 on prime day - still worth it in 2024?

Love my Enduro 2

First of all, we need to be paying for this depth of review 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. Second, as an exclusive Apple Watch user my jaw is on the floor as I see all the features here. Wow.

Amazing review, I am ready to upgrade my Fenix 5X and i was very close to pulling the trigger on the Fenix 7 Sapphire solar, then i see your review for the Enduro 2. which should i get.. I am MTBr and trail runner, not a lot of ultra endurance workout sessions.. the battery life is a huge sell, but i am not sure i am crazy about the bronzy yellow color accents on the case..

Great review! I am debating between the 7x Solar Pro and the Enduro 2. I'm older and still workout. I do more functional lifting, KB's, rucking, hiking and Mtb as far as activities. My question to you is which display is easier to read without a backlight on? I really can't find a definite answer to this without someone trying to get kickbacks on sales. I trust your opinion so if you wouldn't mind answering me, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

I was just debating whether Garmin get: epix or Fenix 7x. Now I have chosen

thx for weights comparison 4:26

As always great review, thanks. Noticed, that nylon strap a bit little than 26mm, looks like 24 or 25 mm. Or this band shrinks under excessive sweating? :)

Man this watch looks delicious.

Great video, could you do a comparison between epix Fenix 7 and enduro 2. Keep up the good work

Very nice. I'm hoping REI will sell it to get me a few dollars off. Also, I'm hoping to move my Garmin titanium band from my Fenix3HR to the Enduro 2. I could use the EKG feature that Apple has but for everything else, I think the Enduro 2 will be better for me. Most of my backpacking trips are two or three days, so either the Fenix 7X or the Enduro 2 would do.

Amazing review, Des! Do you think that the Fenix 7X will suffer in sales due to this new watch? Thank you! Keep up the great work, Des!

I really enjoyed the review, but the thing that all reviews seem to do, yours included, is to mention the price at the end. I think the very first thing a review should bring up is the price rather than waiting until the last minute of an 18 minute video.

What a great review

Thank you for an awesome review ! Did you have any discomfort where the HR sensor sits with the nylon band ? The nylon straps make it super comfortable where the bands sit but I’m curious if that comes at the cost of the watch itself being super secure on your skin.

huge upgrade from venu 2 plus

great review as always.. do you know if they will include HVR?

Great video

Great review! Is there a bike mount for the Enduro 2?

Great review. I've had my Fenix 6pro since first released. It's been brilliant. I'd definitely consider one of these if I were to look for a new watch. I've noticed that using the Pulse Oximeter uses a lot of battery. Fully charged with it off the watch says 12 days. With it on it drops to 9 days. I use it just when asleep. Any ideas if it's the same on the Enduro?

Really nice video 👍. How would you compare the nylon band from garmin with the nylon band from coros? Any significant differences?

This watch is the top dog

Des, great review! Would you pic this over the Epix 2?

Should i Walt for the 3? I noticed this a year old

Thank you for your in-depth review of the watch in a real world scenario. I am considering purchasing the watch and appreciate how you have reviewed/tested the Enduro 2. Regarding the heart rate monitor, I wanted to ask if it is more/less/same accurate if the watch is worn in the inside of the wrist. Have you tried that? Does the solar panel actually make any difference to extending the battery life? Some reviews show that after a whole day in the sun the battery only charged 5%. What is your experience with this? Thank you once again.

Des! Can you confirm the "Hunt" activity is an option for the Enduro 2? I see some reviews say it is, but the garmin page does not list it.

Finally Maps 😍

Great review. Can you make details comparison review between Garmin Enduro 2 Vs Apple Watch Ultra …. And which one is the champion 🤩

I have and is the BEST

I have a Fenix 6pro, will some or any of the new software features for the 955 or Enduro2 be ported to the 6 series? Great video btw 😊

Thanks @DesFit for a great review. I also watched your review on Fenix 7 Pro. How would you compare Enduro 7 to Fenix 7X Pro Sapphire Solar Edition? Does the extra battery beat crispier display and a new version of heart rate sensor? Thanks

Great review as always, but... was that other watch with the blue line drunk?! 😀
