Better than I thought.
Before buying this watch, I did a fair amount of research, specifically in regards to the battery. I was hesitant to get the AMOLED due to the stories I’ve heard, but now that I have one, I regret nothing. Battery is great on this and the screen is phenomenal. I upgraded from a fenix 5 and the watch is night and day difference.

Total waste of money!!
With Garmin still having connectivity issues with Bluetooth to the phone this thing is an expensive piece of junk!!! It is definitely going back for a refund!!

Awesome watch. It goes above and beyond what a normal smart watch does although it comes with a hefty price tag. Excellent golf watch as well.

Great upgrade
I upgraded from a 7x pro and i am very glad i did. The screen is so much better and easier to read than my 7. So far the battery life has been great considering that i us it every day and play music on it as well. The overall layout is quite different than the 7 but rather easy to adapt to. All thing considered, i am very glad that i made the change.

Great Features
I bought the Fenix 8 Pro a month ago and learned of the ability to sync Spotify with watch, and took my first run without my phone and it was amazing !!!

Great watch!
I love the size, the AMOLED display, the Garmin coaching, not to mention, all the analytics. With Garmin Connect+, I can also track my nutrition and hydration. I’m loving all the new features.

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.
