Garmin Enduro 4: more battery life, but no real novelty

Announced in early October 2026, the Garmin Enduro 4 sticks closely to the previous generation’s platform while adding software updates drawn from the Fenix 9, with claimed battery life for long runs.

Garmin waited 40 days after the Fenix 9 announcement at the UTMB to launch the Enduro 4. The stated goal is to take up more media space and avoid, according to the source, direct comparisons with other models from the brand.

The source describes the Enduro 4 as a Fenix 9 Solar in a 51 mm case, but without a Pro version or the associated LTE and satellite connections found on the Fenix 9 Pro inReach. It also notes that the display isn’t enlarged and keeps a 35.5 mm diameter.

In terms of hardware differences from the Enduro 3, the only change highlighted concerns storage: 64 GB versus 32. The text adds that such an increase wouldn’t, in his view, change usage for most runners, particularly for listening to music.

The battery-life pack is presented with two configurations: in GPS only mode, Garmin claims 120 h, then 200 h with solar charging and dual-frequency GNSS (SatIQ). With the connected watch, the source reports 36 days, plus 54 days with solar charging.

On the calendar, the Enduro 4 is announced for 6 October 2026 and available to buy starting 9 October. The stated price is €899, i.e. €100 more than the Enduro 3, while still being cheaper than the Fenix 9, according to the source.
