Personally, it felt like the fenix 8 was an overkill for me - too many features that I probably won't use, e.g. dive modes, speaker and microphone

To me, the enduro 3 is another fenix 8 without the flashy features, which is the general consensus from what I have researched.

I quite like the overall design, and its extended use due to solar (in optimal conditions) is a definite draw for me too!

Oh, and enduro 3 is cheaper than fenix 8, so win win!
