I ditched my Apple and Galaxy watches for a Garmin, and you should too

The screen of the Garmin Enduro 3.

I’ve been a believer in wearable technology since the beginning. Before smartwatches really became mainstream, I used Fitbit trackers to track activity, check the time, and see notifications. When the first Apple Watch was announced, I was one of the first to buy one in 2015. That says a lot because the first Apple Watch Sport was terrible. Since then, I’ve owned a ton of top smartwatches, including Apple Watch, Pixel Watch, Galaxy Watch, and Garmin models.

But recently, I reviewed the most expensive smartwatch ever strapped to my wrist. It’s the Garmin Enduro 3, a long-lasting wearable with a $900 retail price. As I test products throughout the fall release cycle, I’m usually thrilled when I’m finished and can return to my preferred everyday carry. For smartwatches, that typically means adorning my Apple Watch Ultra or Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic.
