Love this watch!!
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.!!!

The Ultimate Adventure and Lifestyle Watch
As an enthusiast of wildlife photography, adventure and fitness, I rely on gear that's tough and dependable and that is sleek enough in design to wear to the office or for a night on the town. The Fenix 8 exceeded every expectation.

Remote hikes or walks around the block, the GPS locks on quickly and remains accurate, with the ability to tag locations or track route...

What a beauty!
The new watch finally answers phones and has a speaker! What a fabulous feature when you don’t have a phone near by. The screen has large font if needed so I can read all of my text messages and the ecg aspect is fun. I love all of the information on sleep it provides also and only charging a watch once a week is very convenient.

The battery life and features are top notch!
My fenix 8 connects with my Shokz headphones and announces my average running pace for each mile! My Fenix 8 also allows me to speak and answer calls during runs(without digging into my running pocket for my smart phone). Of course, I love the handy built in flashlight and beautiful screen. I can increase the font size for the watch face so no squinting to checkout fitn...

Great watch
I bought this a month ago and have loved the features. I had a venu 2plus and really had no complaints about that just wanted a newer model.

Fenix 8 43mm
Received the Fenix 8 as a gift, most likely the best gift ever. I still haven’t figured everything out, but love finding out each feature. The accuracy is amazing. I absolutely love love it.

Mixed feelings
I’ve wanted this watch for sometime now. Since buying it I’m still in the process of trying to figure out how to use it. It doesn’t pair as well as I would have thought to Apple so I’m a bag of mixed emotions on this one right now

So many features!
Upgraded from the Fenix 6x Pro Solar which I loved. The difference in the Fenix 8 is the screen! The newer features, the touch screen, and the slim design yet still holding onto the durable quality make this worth it. I highly recommend this and love that it has a long battery life.

Forget the ladies?
I purchased this watch a week before the Phoenix eight pro came out and this is really an indictment on Garmin and them not
knowing their market. It’s ridiculous for Garmin to not have LTE on the ladies sized fenix 8 pro. Come on. Additionally if you’re gonna force ladies into wearing a watch that looks foolish on their wrist, perhaps put it in a color that’s not bla...

Exactly what I’ve been looking for
Was an Apple Watch user since Series 1, but was really looking for a health device and the Apple Watch is just makes you buy lots of apps with monthly subscriptions and even then, doesn’t get lose to Garmin. Only reason it’s not 5 star is the lack of LTE/Satellite for emergency

Love it
Has all the fictions I need! Perfect for marathon training. Good battery life. I can go a while without having to charge it, even when using it often. The flashlight is a handy feature. I can sync with my training plan. Great watch for someone that’s new or an expert. I updated my garmin a few times, this time from an older fenix and this is my favorite one so far. Th...

Expensive, but worth it
Best garmin watch I have ever owned. The health, fitness, and sleep features are amazing. Battery life has something to be desired, but overall an excellent product.

Love this watch
Not only does this watch look nice, it does way more than I expected. With completely customizable screens and feature options like widget add-ons, I can pretty much do anything I need.

Great updates to the Fenix.
This is my third Fenix. The updates on the 8 are great. It was easy to upload music through the app. GPS has been very accurate. The battery lasts longer than my 6. I like all the health data that it gives. Lots of sports options available.

Awesome watch!
Got this as a gift. A huge upgrade from the vevofit 3 I had for like 7 years. I just wish she for me the bigger size so I can Read the display easier and battery would last longer. This lasts 10 days. Which is good, but not like the 30 says on larger models. The screen is so sharp and colorful. But it is a nice regular watch size and I love it.

Great for my fitness goals
I really love all the bells and whistles this comes with. Sleep scores, workout activities, pulse ox, fitness reminders, connectivity to phone, wifi, etc. Morning summary is great. In my mind better than an apple watch if you want deeper insights. i’m getting into hiking so I like the mapping options.

Cons: it is a bit bulky for sleeping with. if you have all the he...

Love the size and power
I traded in my Apple Watch Ultra for the Fenix. I love the small size that packs a punch. It has a 8 day battery compared to the Apple Watch that needed charging after one workout. I went through 4days of physical activity and it tracked my steps separately from my workouts which I thought was impressive. I was able to see my progress seperate than daily activities. I r...

Great watch
Watch was great, but I returned it. Couldn't justify the price tag for what it offered compared to my old watch from another competitor that also worked seamlessly with their phones. Also, it was too bulky despite me buying the smallest one.
