Excellent in All Regards
on May 10, 2025
Posted by: Ian M
I bought the Fenix 8 after a couple of less-than-optimal experiences with competitor products. After several months with the watch, I am convinced that there is not a more thoughtfully designed sports watch on the market. Everything on this watch just works, and Garmin has thought of everything. Even small details like the watch automatically ejecting water from the speaker after a watersports activity speak to the level of detail that Garmin focused on when designing this watch. The software is fast and fluid, the screen is brilliant, and the health and exercise data collected is precise and presented in a useful and palatable format. The only thing that I feel could use some improvement with the watch is that when I take a phone call from the watch, there is evidently a lot of microphone feedback, as in people talking to me through my watch hear a significant echo of everything they say.
Overall, an excellent watch that I feel is well worth the higher price tag.

The new UI is amazing and this feature rich product is so easy to use. I’m an avid hiker and backpacker, that also does charity runs. This watch does it all.

Love my Fenix 8

Had my fenix 8 for over a month and I’m enjoying it. Great for outdoor activities, running and I use it when lifting. The flashlight is handy and is going to be great hunting this fall when going in and out of the woods.

Comfortable watch to wear and not too bulky. Great battery life and I personally like the body battery metric.

Awesome Watch Excellent Features
on July 19, 2025

The Garmin Fenix 8 AMOLED 47mm is an excellent watch, its advanced health tracking and golf features, are super cool. The bright AMOLED display is easy to see and read. My watch offers in-depth health insights, including heart rate variability, sleep quality, recovery status, and personalized energy monitoring through the Body Battery feature. I love the built-in GPS with Plays Like distances, Virtual Caddy, automated shot tracking, and access to thousands of courses. Despite all these features, its battery life is out of this world. I recommend this watch whether you're training for peak performance or fine-tuning your golf game. I love my Fenix 8.

Upgrading Fenix 7 to 8
on July 23, 2025

One month in. Not cheap but it is lighter, flashlight great for night runs, and I can actually see the AMOL display with my dodgy short sightedness = much needed! Is a little slow to turn on when you flick your wrist over to see the time and not cheap but great overall if you are an active user.
