Love the new features, especially rucking
I'm loving all the little improvements going from the 6x to the 8. I particularly appreciate the native rucking activity and pack weight addition for running and walking.

Amazing watch!
I was debating on an upgrade for months and finally decided to by the Fenix 8 Solar 51mm. My previous watch was the Fenix 6 Sapphire. I love this watch and the many features that it has. It’s way more watch than I will ever need. I wear it everyday but bought it primarily for back country hiking and backpacking. It pairs perfectly with my Garmin In Reach and I can use m...

Fenix 8
I’ve now had the watch for about a month. I really like it and it was very easy and straight forward to setup. I haven’t found it as easy to navigate the menus and the owners manual is 200+ pages and sometimes difficult to find the right spot. But, I’m glad I got it and as I become more familiar with it I’m sure I will enjoy and benefit even more.

Great for golf
At first I had a little trouble figuring it out because I came from using the Garmin 62, but after a few rounds, I love it. I especially love the distance monitoring on second and third shots.

Amazing is an understatement
My Fenix 5 died after years of use, and it was the perfect excuse to upgrade to the Fenix 8 Solar. Discovering something new everyday and loving it!

Overall a great watch
Like the ability to see the watch,and it stayed charged while wearing it outdoors. Would be nice if there was a way to lock the screen so it does not come active when I'm not expecting it to light up.(theaters, at night, or any other times.

Good but not great
This could have been a great watch. The inconsistent HR readings during exercise (sometimes way too low, sometimes way too high) make it an expensive smartwatch.

Perfect fit for me
Perfect size, top sensors, great battery life, better choice of display for old school ( and if you don't want to double your phone) .
All together best for my needs.

I enjoy the watch so far. it far exceeds my needs. My only complaint is my mistake, as I should have bought the Amoled.

Awesome watch
Have had the fenix 8 solar for about 3weeks or so and fell in love with it. I have only had to charge the watch twice which is really nice! Switched from Apple to garmin and won’t go back highly recommend

My Favorite Garmin Watch Yet
This is my fourth Garmin fitness tracker and by far my favorite one to date... the display is easy to read, the battery life is insane with the solar option, and the touch screen was an added nice touch. So many metrics available to track and deeper analysis than what I received with my fenix 5. Love the Body Battery and rich sleep analysis it provides. This watch do...
