I use this watch across sports and in the wilderness. It tracks as well as my GPS unit. I love all of the features and the style too.

Great Features!

My favorite watch to wear at the moment. It is very versatile, the display looks wonderful and clear. Love the LTE feature and love the size of this 47mm. Very pleased with the battery life considering the display is very sharp! This is my second Garmin Fenix watch. They made all the right improvements!

Excellent Design

I upgraded from a Fenix 6. This watch is a huge improvement. The menu structure is vastly improved. It is now easy to find the right app, feature etc. The 6 did not have a very intuitive structure. The display is much better too. I am more than willing to give up a little battery life for the higher resolution and clarity. The touch screen works great too. That also makes it easier to find things.

Overall great with some desired features missing.

I upgraded from he Forerunnert 945 LTE. I wanted both for the emergency services (heart condition) and the Fenix adds satellite. Unfortunately, for reasons unknown, it does not have automatic incident detection like the Forerunner did. It's also larger than I would have liked. The touch screen is nice, and the features/activities list is seemingly endless.

Greatest Garmin Watch Ever
on November 7, 2025
Posted by: GarminLover123
I'm a big fan of Garmin Watches, I started with a Decent G1, upgraded to Fenix 8 and then, as soon as it came out, upgraded to Fenix 8 Pro and here's why.
One thing that lacked in Fenix 8 was that with everything it can do, without a phone present, it couldn't send out distress messages. Since this watch is ment to be worn by the best, to do the best, I always found it bizarre.
But LTE and In-reach built in is a game changer. Apple Watch Ultra, literally had one advantage over Fenix 8 and it was the outside connection. Now there's literally no reason to buy an Apple Watch.
20+ days of battery, any sports & expedition related tech built in.
What else could you ask from a watch?

Amazing Product

I absolutely love my watch. The built in Garmin in reach feature gives my family piece of mind when I’m back country hiking and camping. I was surprised how easy the watch was to setup. I have enjoyed the follow on emails giving even more details on how to work all the features this watch has and there are more than plenty of features. 100% recommend purchasing this product.

Great watch, cellular features severely lacking.

I received this as a gift, and was hoping that the cellular features would allow me to run with just my watch and remain in contact. That is not the case. Only people who have the Garmin messaging app can contact me, which is useless as people call/text my normal number, and none of that comes through like it does on my Apple Watch. I suppose for now I will continue to run with my Apple Watch for communications, and Garmin for run tracking. All other features are great. Garmin has had more than a decade to try to match communications features with Apple Watches, and they’re still not there.
