Great upgrade from the Fenix7

I had a ton of issues with my Fenix 7, HRM inaccuracies, GPS antenna breaking, ect. Picking up the 8 has been a completely different experience. It's ran flawlessly so far. I'm very impressed with it. The additional features are very handy (speaker, microphone)

Great all around watch

I upgraded from the original Venu to the fenix 8 solar. It's nice to have more activities to log, a larger screen and a watch that will last longer through my ultra runs. I havent been able to see much difference with the solar portion. My only issue is that I have smaller wrists, and the weight is considerably heavier and noticeable with this watch.

Does it ALL!

I received this watch as a gift. I'm so pleased with the new light feature and being able to talk right from my wrist. Never having to pause my activity for productivity. The Fenix 8 is like a personal assistant attached to you. Reminders, workouts, daily health stats, the list goes on and on.

Love it

Has amazing features that I’m still learning but it handles a lot more than the old versions. Now you can answer calls, make calls, and text through messenger. Very happy with this purchase

Does not track sleep as well as I think it should, but neither did my previous Fitbit, so maybe it's just me. Does not track naps automatically like the Fitbit, you can add them manually. Swimming is constantly off on lap length, but I'm not a pro swimmer so that may be why. Heart rate alerts go off a lot, but I have no known heart issues. Tracks hiking well. Excellent ...

Next Fenix Upgrade

I’ve been a Fenix user since 2021. They are great, robust watches. I recommend the 8 solar sapphire for the “normal hiker/backpacker.” You get the normal solar charge, 7 extra days of battery (overall feels longer), and a great sapphire screen. Love this watch.

I love it

I’ve had my Garmin Fenix 8 for two weeks now, and it’s really top-notch. I used to have the Fenix 6, but this one has more features — the touch screen, solar charging, stamina tracking, and power metrics, which I didn’t have before. I’m using all of it a lot. Another thing I love is the night and morning summaries. It’s just a great gadget. Garmin’s quality is fantastic...

Lots of features. By lots I mean loads

The watch works well and battery performance is excellent. The various features are sometimes illogical. The default face has some odd choices and too much info for one page. It is customizable however in the month or so I’ve owned it I haven’t spent too much time on that. Seems to be more accurate than my Whoop strap and that may become r3dundant once I customize the ...

Awesome Upgrades!

I originally had the Fenix 6 Pro Solar & it was a great watch, but the Fenix 8 is a game changer!

I bought the Fenix 8 – 47 mm, Solar, Sapphire,
Carbon Gray & the new features are great! This touchscreen has been one of my favorite additions, thought the voice option is super helpful as well.

The battery life is night & day better than the Fenix 6, as well as t...

Excellent watch

Excellent watch and quality, coming from a Fénix 5X, this watch has a lot of extra features. Only thing I might have wanted would be that the watch band be a couple of mm wider. It feels quite thin for the size of the watch.

Another great Fenix

Having upgraded from 7, flashlight has been a life changing feature. It's nice to still have the option of an MIP screen and not just AMOLED

Perfect for Marathon Training

I bought my Fenix 8 to train for the 2026 Miami Marathon. I really love the watch. Feature reach, can track all vitals and all relevant running metrics. I love the feature where it keeps me (while running) in the right pace, alerting when I'm to fast or to slow, a feature that the AW doesn't have. Battery life is incredible, I find myself charging the watch every 2 week...

Awesome tool that has grown on me vs Apple Watch

Coming from the Apple Watch Ultra I wanted a smartwatch that had extended battery life and gps features that didn’t require phone connection and that also had topo graphic view format with water/weather indications. So far I’ve done multiple hikes and scuba adventures these past few weeks and I can say that this watch really shines for the hardcore outdoorsman. I wanted...
