Amazfit Cheetah 2 Ultra vs Garmin Enduro 3

Cheetah 2 Ultra undercuts the Enduro 3 by $300 at the same max analytics tier, but it's worth being honest that its 3.3 rating trails the Enduro 3's 4.7 by a wide margin, this isn't a clean win on value alone.

The Full Story

The Cheetah 2 Ultra targets mountain ultrarunners specifically, with a bigger screen for reading maps and enough battery to cover long efforts without a mid-race charge. A legitimate alternative to Garmin's Enduro or Suunto's Vertical, at a lower price.

The Enduro 3 trades AMOLED brightness for a solar-assisted screen and battery life that laps every other watch on this list. Ultra runners and multi-day adventure racers are the actual target market here, not weekend 5K runners.

*Estimated — this model's exact GPS battery life isn't published by the manufacturer. All figures are standard GPS mode, midsize case, no solar boost.

†Estimated — this model launched too recently to have an established customer rating yet.
