I absolutely love this watch. The size is perfect—it’s small enough to fit my wrist comfortably while still looking stylish and fashionable. It seamlessly supports all my activities, including running, walking, strength training, and yoga, with especially impressive running metrics that keep me motivated and informed. Beyond workouts, the Garmin Fēnix 8 excels at everyday wellness tracking. It accurately monitors sleep, stress levels, and daily steps, giving me a clear picture of my overall health. Functional, comfortable, and beautiful—this watch has quickly become an essential part of my daily routine. Love, love, love it!
I upgraded from the Fenix 5x to the 8 and WOWZA what a difference a couple of years can make! I am loving not only the data and interface options but the customization features, morning and evening reports, and the accuracy of tracking. Nothing beats a Garmin product. And the battery life is unbeatable
I bought this a few weeks ago and I was not disappointed. It is quality everything. Features that I didn't think I'd use, I do all of the time. I rarely look at my garmin connect app on my phone anymore. It is expensive, but I wanted to treat myself. This is the 4th garmin product I've had in 20 years-I may not use all of the apps to the full extent, but I don't do that on my phone either. I am enjoying learning how to use it, and happy with new discoveries each day
To be fair, I don't think I have given this watch enough time to fully appreciate what it can do. With that being said, I haven't found anything that I want it to do that it can't. It acts as my heart rate monitor connected to my e-bike, records my dirt bike rides, and tracks each lap I do on my snowboard. I have a small wrist and it fits great. I play rough and this watch is durable. I have even used the flashlight a few times and it is bright.
I bought this fenix 8 to replace my fenix 5 that I have had for a few years. Wow! it so intuitive as to what I want. Really like the smaller face less bulky. The Golf app is so much better and easier to use, once I figured it out.
I would give it five stars, but the fact that it doesn’t have LTE to connect to cell phone service without having to have your phone on you is kind of a bummer considering the price point. But I love the watch and I use it for marathon training. I am also a flight attendant, and I’ve noticed that the altitude on the watch is also kind of off… So that is also where my four stars come in. Great watch over all. I would never go back to Apple.
