Fenix 8 PRO - calling doesn’t work without cell
on June 3, 2026
Posted by: CBus
The calling function is only functional with my cell phone. The whole point of buying this watch was for the PRO aspect with calling not requiring my cell phone. Disappointed.
I like the watch, lots of cool data, bright screen. Unfortunately while using the messenger app, regular text messages or call, it glitches. Messages appear as sent but the recipient never gets them. Phone calls don't go thru. Hopefully Garmin will figure how to fix these issues.
I’ve owned Garmin watches for years and have owned probably every Fenix model since they began. This is my favorite thus far. My last Garmin was an Epix Pro gen 2 51mm. I sold it and my Apple Ultra 3 for this latest Garmin and don’t miss either. My only complaint is I would prefer a wider band. I made some adjustments to my 26mm bands so they fit the 47mm watch and I think they look better. I wish Garmin would make a factory 26mm to fit the 47mm. My home made ones aren’t bad but factory would look better.
Love this watch very light good battery life full of features. I also use it to listen to music that I loaded on watch with Bluetooth earbuds while cutting fields on the tractor. Watch is a bit pricey but I think it’s worth it.
