Great upgrade from the Fenix 7X Solar

I bought this watch for the ECG and inReach capabilities but have found so much more in the watch. The screen resolution is great and the colors are vibrant. The ability to use folders for apps allows for easier and quicker access for activities and data. Being able to be in contact without carrying my phone is a big deal for hiking and fishing in remote areas without c...

No need for phone!

The main reason I bought this was for LTE / LiveTrack. I no longer need to carry my phone on long runs or races for LiveTrack to work. I've also noticed that in spotty areas, LiveTrack will automatically reconnect once LTE is available again. That's a huge advantage over using LiveTrack via a Bluetooth phone connection (where it does not auto-reconnect in all cases). In...

Best Garmin Fenix ever, and I've had most of them

The watch uses a familiar format, so no learning curve needed. Beautiful display, intuitive interface. Having an actual phone and satellite capability embedded in the phone is reassuring for those using the watch in poor cell reception areas.

Best Watch!

The Fenix 8 Pro continues to impress me. Battery life is outstanding — I’m getting weeks of use even with daily GPS workouts. The training metrics are comprehensive yet easy to interpret, which makes tracking progress and pushing harder incredibly straightforward. This is my second Fenix, and I don’t see myself switching brands anytime soon. Garmin keeps refining what a...

Worst garmin I have ever purchased

My old Fenix 5 worked a dream. This watch is rubbish and not worth the money paid. Screen crashes on long runs and now given the latest software upgrades, it has lost the ability to transfer workouts. I have paired it to my phone 3 times!!! Still won´t transfer. Garmin issuing substandard updates. Stick to an older model without the software glitches.

Its a phenomenal watch! It does everything, i use it for all my workouts bike rides etc. The battery life alone is better than any smart watch I know of, I just put it I n the charger after 15 days but it could have went more. Lots of watch faces and apps, i only complaint would be that it doesnt connect to my s25 ultra completely as if I wanted to text my contacts from...

Great for backcountry skiing.

I returned a coros watch because it didn’t auto lock and work correctly for this purpose. The fenix works perfectly where that watch failed miserably.

Fantastic Upgrade!

Upgraded from a Fenix 5X two weeks ago and couldn't be happier! Still same great battery life with added touch screen capabilities. I love being able to download playlists straight to the watch for music on the go without having to take my phone.

Greatest Watch I’ve Ever Owned

I still haven’t utilized all of the features but so far this was is the greatest I’ve ever owned, which it should be, for the price.

Awesome watch, incredible upgrade from Apple

I bought this watch for the limited Inreach capability, switching from an Apple Watch. Incredible customizable, premium feeling, and the features are built for an active person/adventure. As someone that doesn’t use a lot of the cutesie features from Apple, this was an upgrade by a wide margin. Also, getting to use it at night and during the day instead of picking one t...

Great when it does what is supposed to do

I received a Fenix Pro 8 51MM as an early Christmas present. From day I was unable to use the watch as a stand alone tracking device and leave my phone at home while running. After several searches and turning on and off settings wiping and restarting the watch etc I called Garmin for a fix which after an hour on the phone and a 2 data logs sent to Garmin I have a 1300...

Garmin Fenix 8 Pro

I bought this a month ago to replace my Enduro 2. All the new features were just what I was looking for with integrated Satellite Coms and SOS feature. I was happy to be able to ditch the in reach but the battery life wasn’t there. I’m going to swap it out for the Fenix 8 Solar.

Better than even i expected, and I had high expect

Had it a month. Short time to learn new configurations from my 7x. Clearer faces, better all around functionality, little tweaks make recorded workouts smoother

Love the upgrade....but...

Seems like most things work well, but I have trouble keeping music connected during workouts. I also feel like the LTE feeture could be better. It doesnt seem to instantly switch to LTE when my phone is not around.

Great upgrade

Got this a little less than a month ago. Love the new features compared to my Fenix 7x. Display is a major upgrade and like the idea of having expanded connectivity.

Awesome features, beautiful watch

The good: This thing has everything it's truly a culmination of everything that Garmin does. Amazing features, beautiful watch.

The not so good: It feels like we are beta testing software on a 1300 dollar watch, which to me is unprofessional and sloppy.
