Looking for an ultra-advanced adventure smartwatch, but do not want to spend a small fortune on the Garmin Fenix 8? Consider the Garmin Enduro 2 instead. It is just as durable, advanced and rich in features as its more widely known counterpart. The Enduro 2 used to be just as expensive, too, but since it has been discontinued to make space for the newer Enduro 3, its price has been steadily dropping over the last few months. Now, this ultra-premium watch is the cheapest it has ever been.

The Garmin Enduro 2 has everything you may ever want or need from an adventure smartwatch, from an ultra-rugged design and precise sensors to solar-charging capabilities and advanced workout-tracking features. It is also rated 10ATM for water resistance, and thanks to its superb multi-band GPS, it will help you find the way even in the most remote corners of the planet. Hands down, this sleek watch is a real treat for outdoor explorers and endurance athletes.

However, what the Garmin Enduro 2 truly excels at is the battery life. It is one of the handful of adventure watches that can last up to 34 days on a single charge. With solar charging on top, that goes up to 46 days. Understandably, we named the Enduro 2 as the best option for long trips in our guide to the best Garmin watches. The best part? Now you can get this excellent watch for just $548 at Walmart.

Reviews consensus: The Garmin Enduro 2 is the crème de la crème of GPS adventure smartwatches. Not only is it exceptionally durable, accurate and jam-packed with advanced tracking features, but it is also surprisingly light and comfortable to wear. The best part? It lasts up to 34 days on a single charge, which is more than most other models on the market. Most reviewers gave the Garmin Enduro 2 a full five stars, despite its high price at the time of testing.
