When Garmin first announced the original Garmin Enduro about 1.5 years ago, it was met with mostly confusion. How could an ultra-running focused watch not have maps? Sure, it had amazing battery life, and even a nifty nylon strap. But instead of the device building atop the then popular Fenix 6 series, it actually removed features from it in order to achieve battery life. So in effect, it was a ‘Fenix 6X Minus’.
Fast forward to the Enduro 2 though, and Garmin aims to fix that by bringing out what is essentially a ‘Fenix 7X Plus’. It’s got every single feature of the Fenix 7X series, but adds more, both in hardware and software. The new Enduro 2 has the longest battery life of any Garmin watch, and depending on how you tally the solar figures – any watch in the endurance sports market

Sounds good. It was the reason I glossed over the Enduro watches as a potential replacement for my Fenix 5.

the original model was pretty expensive given the lack of features, you seemed to just be paying a lot for a bigger battery..

Indeed. To be fair my Fenix 5 is still doing a decent job. Though I have the small non map version, so next one will definitely have maps.
I might keep an eye on it, see how this compares to the Fenix 8 when it's out, and if it's worth paying extra for the 8.
