Garmin has launched the Enduro 4 ultra-performance outdoor GPS smartwatch. The Enduro 4 is designed for ultra-long-distance races and multi-day outdoor activities.
The Enduro 4 features enhanced battery performance along with upgraded training and navigation functions. It is equipped with a 1.4-inch memory-in-pixel (MIP) display.
The Enduro 4 also comes with a solar charging lens. Based on that, it can last up to 90 days in smartwatch mode and up to 320 hours in activity mode.
Garmin has introduced a new comprehensive power mode on the Enduro 4. The comprehensive power mode offers preset options optimized for battery life and recording performance by use case, helping manage battery efficiency in environments where charging is difficult.
These presets include a "maximum accuracy" mode and a "maximum battery" mode. The "maximum accuracy" mode is for short, high-intensity activities and supports precise recording using all functions. The "maximum battery" mode is for long races and expeditions, and can record activities for up to 320 hours under solar charging conditions.
The new features also include exercise and fitness analysis functions, along with improved map performance and display. The exercise goal function is based on elevation-adjusted pace and helps maintain the proper training intensity by reflecting changes in slope.
The elevation-adjusted rolling pace provides real-time pace on changing terrain, helping users check pace in line with changes in slope and terrain. The fitness analysis features now include "fitness zone" and "fitness curve."
"Fitness zone" shows how current fitness affects activity. "Fitness curve" is based on the user's fitness level and training history, and helps track endurance changes over time.
Garmin said it supports more than 100 activity profiles. Supported activities include trail running, long-distance hiking, and backpacking, making it possible to manage records and training data for a wide range of activities.
Compared with the previous model, RAM has increased by 50%, and a more powerful map engine has been applied. As a result, map movement speed has improved by up to 30%, and a new feature, "Perspective View," has also been added. "Perspective View" presents terrain from nearby to faraway routes in three dimensions and helps users identify future terrain and direction of travel.
The product is equipped with Garmin Epic. Garmin Epic supports turning records from multiple days of activity into a single story, covering periods ranging from days to weeks to months.
This feature integrates health data and performance data from multiple activities, allowing users to view the combined story all at once in Garmin Connect. Users can also add photos and share them with family and friends.
For indoor rowing, it provides VO2 max and additional training data such as power curves. For rucking activities, users can change the backpack weight during exercise and set target metrics such as calorie burn.
The body has been designed to weigh 66 g for the 51 mm case of the Enduro 4. It also features a titanium bezel, a scratch-resistant Power Sapphire lens, and a lightweight fiber-reinforced polymer case. In addition, it supports a 10ATM water resistance rating and includes a built-in LED flashlight that provides white and red light.
To improve all-day wearability and usability, the product uses a ComfortFit fabric band. The band design takes into account long-wear comfort, durability, and sweat-wicking performance. It also offers Garmin QuickFit for easy wrist-specific adjustment and allows replacement with other bands.
It is also equipped with 64GB of internal memory. This expands storage for maps, music, and data.
Susan Lyman, Garmin vice president of global consumer sales and marketing, said interest in and participation in trail running and long-distance outdoor activities are increasing. He explained that the Enduro 4 is designed for athletes and outdoor users who need reliable performance in long races and expeditions. He added that the comprehensive power mode enables efficient use of long battery life, while elevation-adjusted metrics make it possible to conduct structured training and pace management on hills and mountainous terrain.
