Great watch!

I bought this for my wife after owning the 47mm for myself. The perfect watch for everything you could possibly imagine. It never leaves my wrist. Battery life is exceptional, with extremely fast charging. Large, vibrant and clear screen can be seen in all light conditions. Tracks everything: sleep, workouts, runs and everyday health. I reccomend this to anyone from all spectrums of fitness levels. Can be used as a great motivator as it cues you to be more active or when you need to rest.

I had the Epix Pro Gen2 but needed the dive functionality of the Fenix 8. Very similar watch in the look and feel.

I've only had my Fēnix 8 AMOLED 43 mm for five days, but I absolutely love it. There are too many good things about it for me to write about here, so it seems to me the best I can do is say that I'm happy and relieved to have made the purchase.

Pretty good!

Love the look of the watch, and the features it has are not lacking. However my issue is that there are some bugs that need to be worked out.
I feel like its not as solid in terms of software vs apple watch which is a letdown.
It would be great if garmin put additional attention in to their software and watch usability to ensure everything works as expected. May be an issue with software q/a… not sure.
Other than that im pleased with it. Comfort is actually great especially since i have the 43mm.

Wish I could find feminine watch bands to compliment my Garmin
Response from GarminBy Garmin, Care, July 15, 2025
If you'd like to have a different watch band for your Fenix 8, we carry a number of compatible watch bands that you may enjoy. In particular, we have nylon bands and leather bands that have a very elegant look. You can see the available options here (everything on this page will fit a 43 mm Fenix 8):

Absolutely love it!!!

My boyfriend bought this watch for me. I absolutely love how I can track my time and pace. I am not a big tech person, but this watch is so easy to use. I love that it connects through Bluetooth with the app on my android and I can see how well I am doing with my training. Honestly it's the best gift anyone has ever bought me.
