Great Watch
on September 24, 2025
Posted by: Ron33rd
I was on my 3rd apple watch and the battery was going bad so I tried the Fenix and what an improvement. It has a lot of great features. I just wish they had a better users manual to help us old folks with learning how to use all the features. It takes a slow learning process, I don't thing I'll ever know everything. But the features I use are great.

I upgraded to the Fenix 8 a month ago and absolutely made the right choice. Hardcore Garmin user since the Fenix 3 , I use their diver computers and cycling as well. This watch does it all and with an amoled display. You can't go wrong.

Huge upgrade
on September 25, 2025
Posted by: Grambo
Had Fénix 7 for 4yrs or so and decided to replace for marathon season. Everything about this watch seems better. Screen is very sharp, with vivid colors. I thought for sure the battery would be a huge issue, but not even a little. There’s a few features that allow it to run fo over a week even with the improved screen. Not an amazing feat by Fénix standards, but compared to any other smart watch, it’s revolutionary. I suppose if i dint have “always on” going it could last for at least twice that.
Same level of comfort, and the clasp seems a bit more secure (as do the little things that hold down the excess). Love the watch, would buy again and recommend to anyone.

Upgraded from a Fenix 7 and my 70 year old eyes appreciate the Amoled display. I may not use all the features available to me...but I track a lot of my activities and appreciate the health monitoring insights.

coming from an epix gen 2 this was a noticeable upgrade. The display and interface have levelled up for sure.

Great overall sports smart watch

I bought my Fenix 8 AMOLED Saphire about one month ago and love it. The amount of data it provides is really great. It takes a bit longer to set everything up as liked (Apple Watches are a bit easier to get that accomplished), but once you are done everything is easy. Love the longer lasting battery (my average is about 10 days) that supports training, reading and reviewing data. The silicone bands are light and feel great too. Thumbs up and a definite buy recommendation from me !!
