I love this thing. I'm old, and it's a little too technical, i am slowly figuring it out. But this thing is sweet.Love it for diving and everything else

It is a mess
on September 30, 2025
Posted by: avconnect
After 8 happy years with a Fenix 5, I decided to upgrade to a Fenix 8. it has been nothing but a mess. My primary use is for golfing. The Golf app frequently crashes. Often it does not advance to the next hole. Today is started on the 9th hole. Who starts on the 9th hole? It would not advance and the yardages did not change as I walked. Event the steps counter was way off. This is the second Fenix 8. I returned the original for the same problems and they sent me a new one. It is even worse.

It sounds like you've experienced several abnormalities with your Fenix 8. I'd recommend contacting our wearables experts at the following link: http://ms.spr.ly/6422svOwG

Pro:Screen readability Con:Golf Course not loading
on October 1, 2025

This 51mm AMOLED Fenix 8 Pro screen is awesome! I've enjoyed the readability in all light conditions, and the functions are intuitive to navigate. My only gripe is that the golf courses (any of the three local courses I live near) will not load onto the watch. I have loaded the courses onto my phone thru the Garmin Connect app and when I go to open the golf function on the watch the watch screen reads "No Nearby Courses". I've tried loading the courses while standing on the first tee box of each of the courses so It's not a GPS or distance issue for sure.
