Bought a few weeks ago and love the size. At first it felt a little heavier from my Forerunner 945LTE, but got used to it after a couple of days. Screen is a huge improvement. Have been waiting for Garmin to release a watch with LTE. Now I can call without having to carry a phone, best feature.
I have been a Garmin user probably since the first GPS watch. Each time I upgrade I am impressed what the newest version. I had held off upgrading waiting for Garmin to come up with a watch with LTE and the Garmin Fenix 8 Pro was the watch I was waiting for and it has lived up to everything I wanted. I do not run with my phone so when I am out on a run I have no way to communicate in a emergency. Also with the live tracking and the LTE My wife does not get worried if I extend a run and am gone longer then expected. I enjoy the technical aspects of running even though it is the simplest of sports. I like the training suggestions. Garmin is the sports watch and the newest Fenix 8 Pro is just another success.
Amoled display is better than the fenix 7 pro. Battery life is less than the 7 pro and there is no solar function. I would have opted for the Micro-LED display, however, I didn’t want a further reduction in battery life. Features are fine although I probably won’t sign up to the LTE and Satellite service as I nearly always have my phone with me. The finish quality of the watch casing is poor with very sharp edges on the strap brackets.
