decent purchase

It’s a pretty good watch. Randomly after an update I was not able to get text messages anymore on my watch. I’ve tried everything to fix that but it just does not work like it used to. The battery life is decent. I pay for the Garmin connect+ but the contacts I have listed don’t always get the livetrack data sent to them. With past watches I never had to pay for that, so I guess we will be charged for everything we want to use even though the watch itself is pretty pricey. Overall I like it for the functionality for my activities but I think a few things could be fixed.

Love the new fenix 8. Easy to use, a lot faster, a lot more detail in the different categories. The brightness and watch face along with the voice capabilities

I purchased watch two weeks ago and I love it. My Fenix 6 s pro heart rate sensor stopped working so I thought that I would try a Pixel 4. Wasn't anything like my Garmin. Highly recommend the Fenix 8.

I live the watch however not a huge fan of the Fenix 8 gold color. It’s too gold if that makes sense.

I loved my fenix 5 but love the fenix 8 even better. I’m still figuring out all the new features still but the ones I have used are a great upgrade!! Would highly recommend!!

Great features but difficult to use some times.

This Garmin Fenix has a lot of features but I can't figure out how to do a sports activity consistently.
I did a run for example and thought I had started the watch but when the run was done it hadn't tracked.
It's not as easy to use as my old Garmin nor my Samsung. There wasn't an easy guide for everything either.

It keeps disconnecting from my phone constantly, and battery runs out quickly (2 days the most)
