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.

Transitioning from Samsung smart watch

I have had Fenix 8 for about 3 weeks. I have noticed the differences from a watch that is dependent on the phone and the Garmin which is like a stand alone (it does not need a phone all the time). I do wish Garmin would have some settings like tell me when I have walked away from my phone or that the focus/dnd & alarms modes work together, but they don't. Maybe one day ...

Awesome watch!

This is an absolutely awesome watch! However it still has several bugs, and probably for some people is overpriced. I had a high-end competitor's smart watch that accomplished three quarters of the amount that this watch is capable of doing, but was significantly less money. What this watch does extremely well and puts it way above its competitors, is its superior batt...

Complicated

The watch is fantastic but there are so many features it's very difficult to navigate and Garmin does not provide a user manual. So you are on your own to learn how to use all of the features.

Out of the ashes comes the Fenix

I use the watch primarily for MTBing. I do walk daily and recently have used it to scuba dive. The display was bright and easy to read underwater, the compass was very nice and the alarm for ascending too fast was audible and visually awesome. If you are an outdoors or underwater enthusiast it is a happy blend of features.
I also like that I can change the display col...

Great watch, but software glitches from updates.

Love the Fenix 8. Have used Garmin watches forever and all of the Fenix models. This one was pretty flawless when I got it. Then a software update broke Pace-Pro for racing. You would start a race and the ahead/behind would just freeze. All that changed was a software update. Then I had the same issue with the heart-rate monitor. Worked great forever, then an upd...

Upgrade from Fenix 6

The basic function is the same as Fenix 6, but GPS and HR accuracy appears improved, an LED light is added and several additional functions are added, This is all in addition to the AMOLED screen with twice the resolution and vivid color that now adds pictures to push notifications. Oh, and the speaker / microphone and touch screen plus the buttons still work as befor...

Garmin‘s best watch yet!

I have owned Garmin watches since the Fenix 6. The newest.Fenix 8 is incredible. I find it hard to exceed its abilities. Including the fact that it is my back up scuba diving computer. I wouldn’t wear anything else.

Garmin is Locked In

The Fenix 8 has helped motivate me to continue my passion for running and personal improvement. At 53, I’m still getting Personal Best runs following the Garmin recommended training runs.

Exceptional Screen Quality

Screen clarity and brightness are phenomenal. Watch functions are smooth, fast and very responsive to both button and touch actions. Battery life is great, daily activity tracked and took 20 days to get down to 30%.

AMOLED is king

AMOLED is such a good upgrade rom the Fenix 7X Pro Sapphire (solar). Found that as I get a little older, had a harder time seeing the day time. Such a good upgrade overall
