AWFUL SOFTWARE UPDATE

The latest software update makes it impossible to get and stay connected with my Droid cell.

I like this watch

I've had it a month, swithing from an Apple Watch. I was worried because I am in the mac ecosystem with an iPhone, iPad, and Mac. But it integrates smoothly, no hassle at all. Very accurate fitness tracker (treadmill, hiking, rower). AND- It intergrates with my Garmin Chart plotter and Force Current kayak motor, so I can control my fishing kayak with my watch..... I lik...

So Clean and Leaves no Stone unturned

As a 6 foot four male I love this watch. It doesn’t feel too big for me. The features are super clean. I don’t feel like over informed. I actually like a lot of the information that it gives to me. I like the way that I’m able to customize it it does not feel too heavy on my wrist or big. I used the flashlight feature more than I thought I would especially the red one a...

Worth the money

I’ve been using a Fenix watch for many years. At age 76 I questioned whether it was worth upgrading from my Fenix 5. After daily use for the past month I’ve found the additional features were well worth the money.

Looks good but it’s glitchy

Got it on 1/14/2026 opened it up put on charger. All excited about this watch. Came home did what it said downloaded the app scanned the watch. Took forever to pair. Tried to set up the ecg app said not enough information. Said my heart rate was like 175. Put it on and noticed it was always on the sun set/sun rise screen. Went to the gym looked at it and it was constan...

Love it!!

Love my new Fenix 8. Just upgraded from the 6. The screen is so easy to read. I love the touch screen - it's just as sensitive as my iPhone screen. I thought the flash light was going to be gimmicky - but it actually works great reading menus in dark restaurants and finding my way in the dark. Battery life is crazy. I am on day 18 of the first charge and still say...

Easy to use--accurate.

I've lived with my Fenix 8 for about 8 months now. It's proven to be easy to use and has some great, "didn't know I'd use that" features like the flashlight and find my phone chime.

Feature packed watch

This is an amazing watch with many advanced features. I would highly recommend it based on the longevity of the battery, brightness of the screen and user interface to anyone looking for an industry leading smartwatch.

Great but probably the last

The Garmin Fenix 8 is a top-tier sports smartwatch. However, extremely high price and requirement of a paid subscription to unlock advanced features.
Now I'm facing a problem that my watch just disappear from my garmin connect app and I need to restart the pair process (and product registration).
In general, it's good but you always will question if it worth.

Not happy

I've been purchasing Garmin watches for 5 years, and they keep taking things away that matter. I loved Garmin express I could use on my MacBook to download apps and watch faces to my watch but they decided to take that option away and make us use ConnectIQ on our phones which isn't as good, it doesn't show all the watch faces like Garmin Express does. I don't think I'll...

Great features, missing faces

I am happy with the watch except there is only one watch face available. All other faces have to be purchased. This is a huge setback for Garmin.

Excellent

After using an Apple Watch for over a decade, I like this one. My Apple Watch's ability to monitor my pulse rate when working out is always a challenge for me.The Garmin watch has now resolved the issue.Additionally, the run's accuracy is superior to that of the Apple Watch.I also enjoy the statistics on the watch and the Garmin Connect after working out.

Impossible - like everything Garmin

Nothing intuitive. Despite having kayaking as a sport, Garmin chat said no navigational charts can be used wit it. Trying to locate LiveTrack on my phone (Garmin Connect) each time required such a search that I usually gave up. This is my fourth Garmin product and not one is easy to use. Very disappointed.

Way Too Pricey

Long time Apple Watch User, figured to give it a fair trial. Definitely have few nice niche fitness features, however its way too much of steep price difference. There is just no way for me to justify the price difference between the Apple Ultra. If they were at the same price point, than I can forgo some of the Apple integration I missed but for me it was not worth it.

Dependable, rugged, life saving

I got this shortly after it's release in October of 2024. I have worn it everyday since buying it. I've gotten many compliments on it. The features alone are worth it. This watch actually helped save my life. I use the GPS tracking for dirt bike rides daily. I've had multiple close calls on my bike, but this watch was able to provide help to me from the gps, flashlight,...

Great watch overall, but recurring sensor dropouts

I really like the Fenix 8 overall — the display, features, training metrics and daily insights are excellent.

However, I’m disappointed with recurring sensor connection dropouts, especially during indoor cycling workouts.

My setup is entirely within the Garmin ecosystem: Tacx Flow Smart trainer, Garmin HRM, cadence and speed sensors. Using the same setup and envir...

Long-time Garmin customer.

I have been a long-time Garmin customer with many watches going back to the Fenix 3. I have been happy with all, and now that I have both Enduro 3 and the Fenix 8. Both watches are excellent, and I use them at various times for my daily needs. However, the Fenix 8 offers the most capabilities for what I hoped a smartwatch would be during my daily use. The AMOLED is exce...

Awesome Features not just a watch.

I got this as a gift about 3 weeks ago. NI really love it. I also have a Fenix3 HR, but is one takes it to the top of the hill. So many more features.
