Beautiful design but high tech!

I’m extremely happy with my new watch. I’ve never had such a high tech watch before so I’m definitely easily impressed. I decided to upgrade from a FitBit Versa 4 to this and OMG I’ve been blown out of the water by the features and apps available. The maps and built in GPS alone are a huge selling point. I love that it has a built in flash light and the battery life is great. With my setup it’s lasting me about 9-10 days before I need to recharge. There’s a lot of activities that this can track. Like A LOT. It also has some more interesting features like it can track weather, incoming storms, moon phases, and even tide charts. I’m still learning and figuring out all of the details and features but so far I’m super happy with everything available. Literally my only concern would be that the voice commands can be tricky. The watch seems to only react to certain phrases. Like I have to say “show contacts” and then select a contact to call. I can’t simply say “call Jacob”. You also can’t text back from the watch unless you have an android and use their app. iMessage isn’t supported. It will show you incoming texts though.

I've had this watch for about 3 weeks. So far I've really enjoyed having it. It really does track everything! I bought it because I wanted to get into running more in addition to weight lifting. I was worried that it wouldn't be comfortable to sleep in, but it is. No issues with it.

Horrible at connecting to Iphone

This watch does not connect to my new iphone after I had tried multiple attempts. Both the watch and Iphone are up-to-date and have downloaded the latest software package. I take a photo of the QR code, and despite multiple attempts it fails to connect to the Iphone

I was given A NEW Felix several weeks ago and so far it is outstanding. Sometimes, I sort of question the values provided in the Sleep Score. I am not sure what i trust the algorithm that is used. It is a minor point compared to the MANY features of this timepiece.

Love this watch

I absolutely am loving this watch and all the features it has. I have had it for almost a year now and my fitness levels have gone up and my fitness age has gone down. I’m in the best shape of my life and have goals still ahead of me. This watch helps me know when I need to step back and do a deep recovery when my stress levels are up and my body battery is down. Highly recommend this watch or any garmin watch to help you reach your fitness goals.

Loving it!

Had another smart watch for years & do not do well with having to learn new products… however, due to the short battery life on my old brand I decided to make the switch.
Honestly, I think the forerunner would have sufficed for my needs (& lower cost preference) BUT decided to treat myself. It’s a bit larger than I’m used to but am enjoying it, just wish it had an easier band (like my old watch).
It has a multitude of uses, so I’m slowly learning how to maneuver thru my activities, flashlight, etc… IF YOU’RE CONSIDERING A SWITCH OR AN UPGRADE, THIS IS DEFINITELY THE WATCH FOR YOU!

An Upgrade
on February 12, 2026
Posted by: Steph0704
I purchased this Fenix 8 last month, after the screen stopped working on my Fenix 6. Although, I was reluctant to say goodbye to my old watch, the updates on the Fenix 8 are definitely an upgrade. The touch screen is brighter and has additional colors, and the watch interface has some new features that the Fenix 6 did not. I loved my old watch and look forward to many recorded activities with this upgrade.
