For those into strength training, the Enduro 3 has customizable planning modules and workouts for different sports. Health monitoring will also be quite extensive, as shall be attested by features like HRV status, Pulse Ox, and sleep tracking. An FDA-cleared ECG app further provides support for health and fitness insights.
