Garmin Enduro 4 Promises Up to Three Months of Battery Life

Garmin has unveiled the Enduro 4, a new endurance smartwatch that offers up to three months of battery life despite the hardware upgrades. The watch maintains the same price as its predecessor, $899. Despite the enhancements, battery life remains unchanged at up to 320 hours with solar charging or 90 days in smartwatch mode under suitable sunlight.

Garmin has added two new battery modes: Max Accuracy for precise tracking during shorter activities and Max Battery for extended runtime. The hardware upgrades include 50% more RAM and 64GB storage, delivering a smoother interface and 30% faster map panning. The watch retains its familiar design with a 64mm titanium case, fiber-reinforced polymer, LED flashlight, and 10 ATM water resistance.

A new ComfortFit Fabric Band with QuickFit support has been added. The Enduro 4 also features grade-adjusted workout targets, rolling pace to account for hills, stamina zones, and curves to track endurance changes. The Garmin Approach S72, a new golf-focused smartwatch, has also been introduced. It boasts an OLED display, 43mm or 47mm sizes, a Sapphire lens, titanium bezel, and ComfortFit fabric band.

The S72 can track additional golf metrics such as hand speed, backswing length, and wrist rotation. It also offers up to 20 hours of battery life while playing golf or 15 days without GPS. Both the Enduro 4 and Approach S72 will be available for purchase starting October 9.
