Great Watch

Great watch and amazing features. However there is a need for longer battery life. I have an Instinct 3 Amoled and the battery life on that watch is better than the Fenix 8 Pro. Beside that no other issues.

Moved from being an Apple Watch user. Found activity support more robust. Like combination of touch screen and buttons.

Best Smartwatch for Outdoors
on November 25, 2025
Posted by: Bike_Prof
I have owned several Garmin watches through the years and just upgraded to a Fenix 8 Pro from a Fenix 6X that I owned and wore daily since launch. The 8 Pro is a massive upgrade, but still kept the features that make the Fenix series great. The build quality seems every bit as good as previous versions. Which means that you don’t have to baby this watch, and it should hold up in extreme outdoor conditions. The size and weight are perfect. For reference, I am a 6ft tall man. The 51mm size is perfect for me, and this was the same size case of my previous 6X. Thank you Garmin for continuing to keep the size and tank-like build quality of the Fenix series! If you want a lighter or smaller fitness watch, a Forerunner, Venu, or other model may be a better choice. The screen resolution is excellent, and battery life is outstanding for a smart watch within an OLED screen. I love that I can get over three weeks on a charge with regular use, in comparison other popular smart watches are lucky to last through a single day. The two features that prompted me to upgrade in particular were the satellite and LTE connectivity. These are great safety features to have, especially if going for a run, paddling, or other activity where you do not want to bring your phone along too. My main activities for this watch are hiking, backpacking, running, paddling in a kayak, and golf. So far, I absolutely love this watch and look forward to wearing it for the next several years. If you are into outdoors activities, this is in my opinion the best smart watch on the market today.

Nice to be able to confidently go on runs and be connected - screen is brighter than the Amoled 8 too!

My Fenix Pro 8 Is an Excellent Fitness Resource

There was a lot of internal debate and research that went into my decision to switch from my Apple Watch Ultra 2 to Garmin and the decision ultimately came down to which had the features I use all the time and which features help me the most with my fitness goals. The Garmin Fenix 8 Pro AMOLED (51mm) was the better choice. First, there’s the battery life… I haven’t needed to charge my Fenix 8 Pro for almost two weeks, now, and I have 51% charge left (10 days). I had two Apple Watches (the Ultra 2 and an SE) to be able to guarantee availability when I needed it. With the Fenix 8 Pro, I get great data which is useful for training - not to mention great in app coaching and data that help make my workouts - especially running workouts - more effective and efficient. Another thing that the Fenix 8 Pro does is break down my strength workouts into each exercises and I can customize the data. The information is recorded in the Garmin Connect app and it is fantastic to be able to see all of it. Between my Garmin watch and Garmin Connect app, which integrate well with several other apps available on my iPhone, I am able to review and answer almost any question I could think of about my fitness levels and training at any time.
