Over the years, I have owned and used several different Garmin watches. They are amazing devices. I have had some issues with the earlier Fenix Watches (3 and 5). About 3 years ago, I settled on the Garmin Instinct and have used it every single day. It truly has been a fantastic watch and the second version seems to be great as well. I've always loved all of the features of the Fenix watches but some of the early version had altitude measurement issues and other drawbacks for me. I have been wanting to upgrade for a while and so far, I am really glad I waited. I have only had the Enduro 2 for a few days but I am loving it so far (and will update this review with more hands-on experience).
One other note is I know this watch is targeted at Ultra marathoners. That I am not! I am an avid outdoorsman, hiker, hunter, backpacker. I think that group of individuals will really be interested in this watch. When you are doing multi-day trips in the backcountry, battery life is critical. The fact that this watch has all of the bells and whistles of the Fenix line and improves on the battery life is incredible. So I understand the target consumer Garmin is going after, I think they will be surprised at the interest they will get from the outdoors crowd.
Things I love:
-Button Location. One major issue I had with my Instinct was when my wrist was bent, it would push the activity button. Garmin had a lock feature on the buttons but the duration of time wasn't long enough. I was constantly accidently start activities and triggering the GPS with that watch. It was the worst part about that watch for me. On the Enduro 2, the buttons are far enough apart that my wrist does not press them when bent.
-Flashlight! The fact the Garmin is the first (as far as I know) to include this feature on a watch is pretty incredible. Its one of those features we will wonder why it took so long for manufactures to include. To me, it is a game changer. It is so convenient to have that feature on a watch. I think you will be very surprised how often you use it (as I have been).
-Battery Life. In the short time I have had the watch, the battery life has been incredible. I will continue to test this with time but this watch seems to go forever.
-Touch Screen. What an amazing add by Garmin. For the mapping features, it really improves the watch. You can completely customize when the Touch feature is on/off as well which is great.
-Wrist Strap. The lightweight wrist strap that comes with the watch is excellent. One thing I loved about my instinct was how lightweight it was. It would disappear on the wrist. This watch isn't on that level but this strap makes a big difference! Comfort and weight are much better with it.
Things to Consider:
-This watch is big! Slightly thicker than a 7x and just a large watch overall. The strap helps quite a bit with the weight but just want to point that out. I have big wrists so its not a huge deal for me.
-Visibility indoors is not great. I knew this would be an issue as I have owned other Fenix's. The sapphire screen doesn't help with this either. For me, I am buying this watch primarily for outdoor use. The visibility outside is fantastic. I know Garmin has the Epix 2 now and I tried it out. That watch is the complete opposite. Visibility is incredible indoors but the Fenix and Enduro 2 are better in the outdoors. One of those frustrating realities that no product is perfect. So for me, the better option was the outdoor screen with much better battery life.
Overall, I am very happy with this watch. I will continue to update this review with time.

I love it!!! I bought my first fitness/smart watch month ago and it was Apple Ultra. I always hold off the apple watch bc they dont look like a watch.. more like a tamagotchi! Im a watch guy. With Apple Watch ultras I realized Apple will most likely never make round watch so I got one thinking I get use to it. Unfortunately I didnt. I just hate how they look. So I was looking for replacement and ended up with the Garmin since my sister has one for years.
All I can say i dont even miss that beautiful amoled on apple ultra. Just the crazy battery life is amazing compared to one and a half from ultras. And they look beautiful. Plus the strong flashlight is a nice feature on top. I dont miss the cellular as I don’t need to be that connected. And since I can download music with Spotify and connect my apple airpods i have pretty much everything I need. I was originally thinking about Fenix 7X but then found out about Enduro 2 and went for it. Even better battery and stronger flashlight is no brainer.

This watch is big, and expensive. However I love the flashlight. The GPS picks up signal fast and I have only charged it 2x in three months but it was never below 25%.
