Kelly Mulvany's review
Superior watch when it comes to battery life and functionality in sport. I plug mine in maybe once a month, and it lasted the entire duration of Black Canyon 100k (18 hours) with at least 20% battery life left! It's lightweight and the velcro strap is breathable and lasts a long time.

What other hosts are saying
3 experts recommend the Garmin Enduro™ 3.
Best Running watch I've used yet. It's got all the stuff: tracking, nav, hr, sleep monitor, HRV, all the metrics you can imagine and the battery life is top shelf! I wear mine 24/7 run 6 days a week and the battery gives me 3 weeks between charges. It will last all your 100 mile races and most 200+ mile races.
