Garmin Enduro 2 New Features
So, what can potential users find on this premium sports wearable?
Solar Battery
One of the notable features of the Enduro 2 is updated solar power capabilities. When in solar mode, the Enduro 2 offers an impressive 46 days of battery life in smartwatch mode. The watch also offers 150 hours in GPS mode, ensuring your watch never loses power mid-exercise.
The Enduro 2’s battery life lasts 40% longer than the first edition.
Garmin Enduro 2 Updated Maps
Endurance athletes need reliable maps, especially when taking on new terrain. The Garmin Enduro 2 comes with built-in TopoActive maps, and these include multi-continent coverage.
Alongside these maps, the wearable offers a NextFork map guide for trail running. This feature is optimized for on-the-go distance and location tracking. Never stray from your path again.
LED Flashlight
As seen on the Fenix 7, the Enduro 2 now has a LED flashlight. This is a handy on-wrist feature to help users get active at night. This flashlight is dimmable to provide visibility in the evenings. Strobe settings and a red mode are also available.
Health Snapshots
Another essential training feature is the new ‘Health Snapshot’. This metric records all vital health statistics to give you a snapshot of your health.
Metrics included are:
- Pulse Ox
- Respiration

Alongside health snapshots, the Enduro 2 also provides Garmin’s popular Body Battery tool, sleep monitoring, and your unique Fitness Age. This is a wearable built to guide your training so you can reach your personal best.
