Focus on Performance and Size
on December 18, 2025
Posted by: eselas
The Fenix 8 51mm is a beast. I was looking for a robust watch that didn't feel 'small' on my wrist, and this size is perfect. The screen real estate is massive, making maps and data screens incredibly easy to read. The Silver bezel paired with the Orange bands looks incredible—sporty yet sophisticated. Battery life is unbeatable, and the build quality is top-notch. Truly the king of adventure watches.

Microphone on watch did not communicate with my iPhone 17 - that is until the most recent update by apple. Now it works great. Loving my fenix more as I get more familiar with the logic to navigate functions

Nice watch

Lots of features but coming from and Apple watch I’m still trying to figure it out. I wish it had a CrossFit and other option for activities. Don’t think there’s one for stationary bike either l, but like I said I’m still trying to figure it out. Wish it would auto detect sleep also.

Fantastic Display and Features

I haven't had time to explore all the features and widgets since there are so many, but the Amoled scree and the touch screen are a huge improvement from my last Fenix. The watch is great and I would highly recommend it.

Basics Fail

The one and only thing every single smart watch must get right - heart rate monitor. This thing is awful, even after wearing it the way they demand to get an accurate heart rate. It reads really high before I even work out. Then really low when I’m panting. Unacceptable.

Good watch, but feel outdated.

The watch is good overall but feels old, like it is not from recent years. It is laggy and slow; the buttons are super hard and stick a bit.
Good autonomy.

I prefer MIP with solar better than amold since I run outside a lot and the display and battery life is worse than Fenix 7 pro I had before so please bring back MIP solar display in the next generation. Thanks!
