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

Great watch!!
I bought this about a month ago n haven’t taken it off, this watch has great battery life along with other data. Depth gage works well. I also had the Fenix 7S but i like this much better, it does it all.

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...

Response from Staples :
That is a great idea! I would recommend sending an ideas form so we are able to push that towards our development team. Here is a direct link to the form.

Mostly Positive, but with a few drawbacks
History; I have been a loyal Garmin Fenix user since the early days of F5, which I enjoyed it tremendously same as F6, F6sPro, F7s Pro SS.
So, I have purchased 2x Garmin Fenix 8, 47mm solar/MIP displays, but I had to return them both.
Design: superb, best Fenix or Garmin watch to date. Definitely a big pro here. Best rugged sports watch on the market- design ...

A Game-Changer for Apple Watch
After years of loyalty to the Apple Watch, from the Series 3 all the way through to the Series 10, I made the leap to the Garmin Fenix 8 Solar MIP—and I’m only sorry I didn’t do it sooner. This rugged, feature-packed multisport watch has redefined what I expect from a wearable, offering an unrivaled combination of battery life, functionality, and durability that leaves ...

Making the invisible, visible
I continue to be amazed at the information this watch collects and presents back to me. I am grateful I did not delay my purchase because of the price although it certainly caused pause. I am still learning how to manage my sleep hygiene and workout routines but have already received helpful insights. I am 70 years old and paying much closer attention to my body's ...

So many functions!
I'm still learning about what the watch is able to do; the list seems endless. I had been wearing a smart watch that needed to be charged every day. Now I can go two weeks without charging, and longer than that with solar if I pay attention to what I need and don't need. I was skeptical at first about all the health tracking, but the watch has me convinced. I wear i...

Awesome watch
I went from the first I stinct solar to the Fenix 8 solar and I love it. Couldn't be happier. I just hope it proves to be as tough as the instinct.

I do like the watch and features but
The watch it self is quite easy to navigate, I definitely still need to learn some things. But I wish the app was nicer and easier to navigate. I find my self getting confused. I also Don't like the app store for the watch is on a separate app. I have used other watches and this is my first Garmin. I definitely like the other apps more.

Awesome Customization
I love everything about this watch. From the battery life to the fitness metrics that it tracks. For starters, I get almost 2 weeks out of the battery. Thats using the gps everyday for hikes, walks, or for golfing. I feel that it keeps better track of your fitness metrics then some other bands. The steps and heart rate are 2 that I track daily. My heart rate is always s...
