Garmin Enduro 4: A $899 Solar Watch with 320-Hour Battery and Fenix 9 Software

Garmin has released the Enduro 4, a rugged smartwatch priced at $899.99 that prioritizes extreme battery longevity over premium features. It features a 1.4-inch Memory-in-Pixel (MIP) display with solar charging, offering up to 90 days of smartwatch life and 320 hours of GPS tracking under optimal sunlight. The device shares the software platform of the more expensive Fenix 9, including new stamina metrics and mapping improvements, but omits LTE, satellite messaging, and dive capabilities to maintain its lightweight, long-lasting design.

Spotify's Running Mode Puts a Personal Pace Coach in Your Playlist

Spotify's new Running Mode builds a structured workout around your chosen tempo and genre, generating a playlist and coaching cues for warmup, intervals, and cooldown; currently limited to paid subscribers, you pick a workout type, genre, and target BPM, and Spotify creates the run in about two minutes with audio prompts to help pacing—tested on a Pyramid Rock Run, it nailed cadence for most of the session, though one cooldown track hit an odd 210 BPM.

An in-depth personal test of the $3,000 Katalyst EMS suit, which uses electrical muscle stimulation to speed workouts; after a month of use the author experienced pins and needles, numbness, and cold limbs, found it interfered with his other training, and concluded the 'time-saving' promise falls flat, prompting a return and a skeptical view of EMS fitness tech, despite FDA clearance.

Robot exoskeleton boosts Grand Canyon endurance, not a miracle

Robot exoskeleton boosts Grand Canyon endurance, not a miracle

A reviewer tests the Hypershell X Ultra S exoskeleton on a Grand Canyon hike, finding it extends endurance and reduces fatigue enough to finish a two‑mile rim hike and about 12,000 steps without using his cane, but it’s not a cure for disability or a superhero device. The app‑controlled, ~5‑pound unit uses a back‑mounted battery with motors at the hips, offers modes like Eco/Hyper/Transparent/Fitness, and claims ~30 km (18.6 miles) of range with a spare battery. Real‑world results vary by terrain and fitness, and the device is pricey (about $1,999 for the X Ultra S).

Strava Sues Garmin Over Patent Infringement

Strava has filed a lawsuit against Garmin, alleging patent infringement related to exercise tracking features like segments and heatmaps, and claiming Garmin violated a cooperation agreement. The lawsuit seeks to stop Garmin from selling products with these features, but experts doubt its success. The case appears unusual given the long-standing partnership between the companies and recent timing, with Strava citing Garmin's new API branding requirements as a motive. The situation remains complex and potentially disruptive, but its impact on users is uncertain.
