Coming from an Apple Watch to Garmin 8 Pro was best decision just wish you could reply to text and answer calls without having to use the Garmin App.

I have worn the Fenix 8 Pro for 3 weeks! It is easy to set up... very similar to my Epix Pro...but newer features that I love!

Love This Watch

I bought the fenix for my fitness routine to help monitor my progress for weight loss, controling blood pressure, etc. It has not disappointed! Once you get the button sequence down for the various functions, it is spot on.
I am absolutely amazed at the battery life. Out of the box it had +/- 20 days of battery life and with moderate use, was true to that. It got down to 3 days and I charged it to 99% which was about 27 days. Charging took about an hour. Truly amazing.
Just beware, if you have an existing Garmin inReach device subscription, you will need to set up a separate account to have the an active inReach subscription for the fenix. Not a complaint, just want people to be aware.
Otherwise, this device, I hesitate to call it a watch, is a beast.

Nice upgrade from the fenix 5

I’ve had for a month and a half now and so far so good
The only draw back is that sometimes I can shut the phones alarm off and sometimes it doesn’t
The keep doing updates which it means they are still working on bugs

So far, so good

I got this a few weeks back and while the display is crisp and battery life has been great, there are a few app idiosyncrasies that I do not like. For one, the golf function doesn’t show when to add putting and leaves more to be desired as no prompt to enter club via vibration. Other than that, it has been a great watch.

Amazing watch, but stubborn buttons
on October 27, 2025

I bought this and another Garmin watch to figure out which I would keep. I liked this one better, but the buttons were so finicky- many times I would have to push down 2-3x in order for the buttons to work because they were too “squishy” and non-responsive. I was sad I had to return it even though it was the better watch, I just knew the buttons were going to drive me crazy trying to press them multiple times to get them to work.

Still learning but love my Garmin!

I'm a long & loyal Garmin fan with many of their devices so tend to cut them slack. However, I very much enjoy my new 51mm fenix 8 Pro and learn a few more capabilities every day. I now wear the fenix all night and was a little concerned the 51mm would be too large and disruptive while I slept. Definitely not the case and I don't even feel it. The sleep feedback has been interesting and informative so look forward to comparing results over time. The available watch faces are very nice.

I bought this watch a few months ago. No issues,love the look and feel. Nothing negative to report about the watch but not a huge fan of the golf app. This is one thing that Apple watch was better at with the golf apps.
