Nice watch
on August 9, 2025

Love the watch however it was most shocking when I found out that you have buy different faces for it , I would think that a watch that cost as much as it does, that would be somewhat included, just because of that fact I might return it

Swiss Army Knife of smartwatches (4.9/5 Stars)
on August 10, 2025
Posted by: Josh W.
Several years back I had a Fenix 3 (at least I think it was. Sometime around 2018ish) And I loved it. This version is light years better. Lots of cool and helpful features like the sleep monitor, shows you how do certain exercises, the flashlight feature is amazing too. I would call this the smartwatch equivalent of the Swiss Army knife. I have only one dislike about it. I feel like the band is a little too thin. It could be a tad wider. Maybe that’s personal preference, but I believe a watch with this big of a face should come with a slightly wider band. And I know you can buy other bands, so it’s absolutely not a deal breaker. So my honest rating of it would be a 4.9 out of 5 stars.

Nice watch but simple stuff is an issue
on August 10, 2025
Posted by: Jbradford
Overall it’s a nice watch. Battery seems to work well. My biggest complaint is that it’s not easy like other smart watches to operate and I CAN NOT receive text messages. Also I have to have my phone close by for some of the functions to work. It will NOT allow me to use AMEX or my other credit cards for smart pay. To have paid the money I did for this watch and the only thing better than an Apple Watch is looks and a flash light.

My Fenix 8
on August 12, 2025
Posted by: Ldagojr
I love this watch! Admittedly, it has more capabilities than I use, but the features I use are very good. Wearing the watch along with my Oura ring didn’t last long and the latter has been relegated to my dresser drawer as the former does everything the Oura does and more… especially in sleep tracking.
I’m pleased I got the 47mm rather than the 51mm.
The display on the AMOLED is great. I did change the watch strap as the orange was pretty obnoxious.

Awesome watch with short comings
on August 13, 2025
Posted by: Ottoknows
I purchased this watch a few weeks ago and overall I love it. The amount of tracking available is amazing and it fits very well.
On to short comings…
For the price there shouldn’t be a monthly charge for the software. Also the customization for the weightlifting is limited and makes it challenging to change during your workout.
Overall I’m happy with the purchase but I couldn’t say it’s worth the price tag.

I had the Garmin Fenix 5 for 9 years and loved it and finally upgraded to the Fenix 8 and am really glad I did. The features are great - everything I need and it is really easy to use and great interface. Kudos to Garmin.
