I only gave four stars because I’m too excited to find out what the fifth star will reveal. The screen is over the top the buttons feel fantastic.

No real upgrade from Fênix 7 Pro. Battery is not upgraded. Issue of missing active calories that it measured but then disappear especially around sleep time. So, not impressed

Got my first Garmin watch 2 weeks ago and I love it!! I really like the phone connection that I can take a call on it. Also like the weight lifting/ exercise program that I use on it. Recommend it!

Fantastic multisport watch with better legibility

I had the Epix 2nd gen for 4 years; loved the watch and used it for run/bike/swim/triathlon. I also used it daily for sleep score and I appreciated the alerts functionality. The battery life is truly exceptional. The watch is very handsome as well; looks great as a "business casual" watch, it doesn't look like sports equipment. I replaced it with the fenix 8 pro; it is a fantastic upgrade with all of the great attributes mentioned with the Epix. It is incredible to me how the outside case of both watches is 47mm but the screen size of the Fenix looks substantially larger. The display is brighter and the larger/adjustable font sizes, especially in swim mode are really helpful for my near-sightedness. The new flashlight is truly bright and useful as well.

Received the fenix 8 pro as a gift to upgrade my fenix 5. I love the new watch and continue to learn how to use it. I use it mountain biking, while skiing and for golf. Love being able use my wireless headphones with just the watch and leave my phone behind while biking.

SOS doesnt function
on March 4, 2026

The SOS function doesnt work because it wont connect to satelite even with a clear view of a cloudless sky right near town...this was the main reason I got the watch

Love it!

Earlier in the year I bought an Apple Ultra 3 which is a great watch. I’ve owned a few Garmin products in the past. Got out of running 5 years ago but trying to make a slow and steady comeback. I’m also an avid hiker. At 57 my comeback is going to take time and will involve monitoring a lot of variables that the Garmin allows. I love the feel of a round watch over a square one any day! If there’s anything I’d love to see Garmin add, it’s would be the ability to adjust alarms and change and edit faces from the app. Other than that it’s awesome!

Ups and downs
on February 16, 2026
Posted by: Surfer Guy
I upgraded from an EPIX, primarily because I wanted the LTE/Satellite features. Those seem to work fine, but I was negatively surprised that a few basic features I enjoyed with the EPIX are not available on the Fenix. (e.g. top speed in knots and ability to have AOD during an activity, but not otherwise)
