What owners single out
The screen readability issue that divides buyers directly echoes the video reviewers' concern about MIP display legibility being a step back from previous generations.
In their words
“I am a long time Garmin user, I have used the Fenix watches for years, then when the Epix came out I went for the nice screen. I really enjoyed the Epix, but the battery life definitely suffered for the nice display. I decided to go for the Enduro 2. I could not be happier, I am currently 11 days in without charging. I have over 29 hours of GPS use in those 11 days and am sitting at 49 percent bat”

“I cannot rate it to 5 stars, because the legibility of the screen is a step back feom that of Fenix 6X. To be fair all the watches with MIP display released since Fenix 6 family (Fenix 7, Fenix 7 Pro, Enduro, Enduro 2) have a worse readability, not just Enduro 2. And if you have to use the backlight even in outdoors you lose some of the extra battery life and your watch becomes not an Enduro, but ”
