Best watch faces for Garmin Enduro 4
Garmin announced the Enduro 4 on 6 October 2026. It keeps the round 1.4-inch, 280×280-pixel solar MIP screen of the Enduro 3 and stretches the battery further: up to 90 days as a smartwatch and up to 320 hours of GPS in Extended Battery mode, both with solar. A face for it should be just as frugal and easy to read in sunlight. Here are our picks that already list the Enduro 4 in the Connect IQ Store, running live.
Note: the Enduro 4 has a MIP (transflective) screen, not AMOLED. Faces made only for AMOLED watches such as the fēnix 9 do not install on it, so pick faces built for MIP. More in AMOLED vs MIP.
Enduro 4 or Enduro 3?
Both have the same round 1.4-inch, 280-pixel solar MIP screen, so the same faces fit. A face still has to list your exact model in the Connect IQ Store.
- Enduro 4 — On sale since October 2026. The picks on this page all support it.
- Enduro 3 — Same screen as the Enduro 4. Picks for it: Enduro 3 faces.
Why MIP needs its own faces: AMOLED vs MIP.
Our picks for the Enduro 4
№224-Hour Clock MIP
A full day on one dial, rebuilt for round Garmin MIP screens: the hour hand turns once every 24 hours, a minute track runs around the edge, and day and night sectors follow your sunrise and sunset.
№3JSON Face MIP
The JSON Face code-editor look, rebuilt for round Garmin MIP screens: the date, the time and your readings as a little JSON file with syntax colours and line numbers.
What makes a good Enduro 4 face
- Bold and high-contrast. A MIP screen shows the face all the time and is brightest in direct sun, with a small palette of colours. Large digits and clear hands read better than gradients and glow effects.
- Drawn for 280 pixels. Art scaled down from an AMOLED face looks rough on MIP. Our MIP faces are drawn pixel by pixel for this screen size.
- Light on the battery. A seconds hand or seconds digits that update every second cost battery on any Garmin. If the face lets you turn them off, do it on long events.
How to install a watch face on the Enduro 4
- Open the face in the Connect IQ Store, in the Connect IQ app on your phone or in the store on the watch, and install it. The face must list the Enduro 4 as a supported device.
- On the watch, from the watch face, hold the middle-left button to open the main menu.
- Select Watch Face, then Add New, choose the face you installed and select Apply.
New faces go to your favorites list. When the list is full, delete a face from it first. You can also switch faces in the Garmin Connect app. More detail: how to change your Garmin watch face.
Enduro 4 watch faces — FAQ
Are there free watch faces for the Enduro 4?
Yes. The Enduro 4 runs Connect IQ, so free faces work on it as long as they list the Enduro 4. Our JSON Face MIP is free and supports it; more in free Garmin watch faces.
Do Enduro 3 watch faces work on the Enduro 4?
The screen is the same, so they look the same, but a face installs only if its developer has added the Enduro 4 to its device list in the Connect IQ Store. Check the list of watches on the face page before you buy.
Do fēnix 9 watch faces work on the Enduro 4?
Only if the face also lists the Enduro 4. The fēnix 9 has an AMOLED screen, and faces made only for AMOLED are not offered for MIP watches. See AMOLED vs MIP.
How do I change the watch face on the Enduro 4?
