I've been a garmin forerunner user for about 15 years. I was debating between this fenix and the latest forerunner. While I'm sure the forerunner is great I couldn't be happier with the Fenis 8. It doesn't feel bulky, great battery life and the technology and features made it a seamless transition from the forerunner. I love the look and everything about the Fenis 8

Sharp! Great features & easy to nav!

This was an upgrade from my Fenix 6 Pro, and it is incredible!! MUCH easier to navigate, improved features and tough, but extremely stylish!! I beat the heck out of my 6Pro over the years (never took it off), and feel that this one will take it too!! Highly recommend!

Great watch

Great watch! Really like it! Cool features! But sometimes it reads my heart rate completely off during activities! Which is really annoying at times! But other than that great addition to my life!

Does everything that I wanted

My new fenix 8 replaced a fenix 5s that I have had since 2018. It took awhile to make the transition, but once I became used to the fenix 8 I am more than satisfied. It has a lot more features than the old watch and some I probably won’t use, but I am extremely glad that I made the purchase. It is a wonderful piece of technology.

Flashier than expected

First of all, get the smallest size. Medium and large ones are humongous, the 43 mm fits already like the largest watch I’ve ever worn. Its difficult to try on the display models, I know, but its a must! Second, when the device is turned off, the buttons are dead. They are “induction buttons” that only come alive when the watch is powered on. When you try pushing the bu...

Intuitive Feedback and Features

I loved my old Fenix 5s, but was excited to upgrade to the 8 for the added features of sleep analysis and answering calls from my watch. This was no small upgrade. The features in the 8 are far superior and I can't imagine using any other watch. The ability to use workouts right from the watch and have a running coach right on my wrist is a game changer when it comes to...

Beautiful - A Watch I Truly Love

My Garmin fēnix 8 (43 mm) is absolutely beautiful, and it does everything I want and need in a smartwatch.

A few years ago, my workplace wellness program offered points for healthy habits, and I redeemed those points for a Garmin scale. That’s when I first fell in love with Garmin Connect. The data, insights, and overall ecosystem just made sense to me.

Later, whi...

Great tool for the outdoors

I have been using Gramind devices like forever. This Fenix is pretty good I suppose. Battery is the best thing, last about a week with my daily workouts. I feel the health aspects could be better. Like sleep I don't feel is accurate as in deep vs REM. But otherwise it gets the job done for me.

It seamlessly supports all my activities, including running, walking, strength training, and yoga, with especially impressive running metrics that keep me motivated and informed.
Beyond workouts, the Garmin Fēnix 8 excels at every...

The Watch That Keeps on Giving

I upgraded from the Fenix 5x to the 8 and WOWZA what a difference a couple of years can make! I am loving not only the data and interface options but the customization features, morning and evening reports, and the accuracy of tracking. Nothing beats a Garmin product. And the battery life is unbeatable

Wow what a watch!

I bought this a few weeks ago and I was not disappointed. It is quality everything.
Features that I didn't think I'd use, I do all of the time. I rarely look at my garmin connect app on my phone anymore.
It is expensive, but I wanted to treat myself. This is the 4th garmin product I've had in 20 years-I may not use all of the apps to the full extent, but I don't do th...

So many features!

To be fair, I don't think I have given this watch enough time to fully appreciate what it can do. With that being said, I haven't found anything that I want it to do that it can't. It acts as my heart rate monitor connected to my e-bike, records my dirt bike rides, and tracks each lap I do on my snowboard. I have a small wrist and it fits great. I play rough and this wa...

Amazing Watch

I bought this fenix 8 to replace my fenix 5 that I have had for a few years. Wow! it so intuitive as to what I want. Really like the smaller face less bulky. The Golf app is so much better and easier to use, once I figured it out.

Best watch yet

I would give it five stars, but the fact that it doesn’t have LTE to connect to cell phone service without having to have your phone on you is kind of a bummer considering the price point. But I love the watch and I use it for marathon training. I am also a flight attendant, and I’ve noticed that the altitude on the watch is also kind of off… So that is also where my fo...

Amazing features and durable. The display is much brighter and more crisp than the solar but battery life is noticeably worse than the solar.

This watch is so great once I learned how to use it! It’s super cool looking as well. I got tons of compliments on it for pickle Ball and running and weight training and basically anything you do.!!!
