I have had this watch a couple months. Upgraded from Fenix 6x sapphire. Love it. Screen bright and clear. Love flashlight. Really like answering calls and talking through watch.

Great watch

I bought the 47mm a month ago after the owner of the company I work for got one for his birthday. I already owned a 51mm that I use for running. The 47mm is the perfect size for an everyday watch and you have all the great features the 51mm has with the exception of battery life. For myself that’s not a deal breaker as I just love the Fenix 8 watches.

Doesn’t worth the price

This is my 7th Garmin smartwatch, I would say it’s not worth the price, the touch screen is laggy and slow, the buttons constantly get pushed by accident during normal hand motions, in terms of sensor accuracy, it didn’t add anything to the previous generation from my personal experience, it’s still good. The IQ store is actively promoted but keep in mind, the non-Garmin apps and watch faces may make it lag, glitch and freeze, because most of the apps are not updated consistently. This happened to me, I have lost pretty significant amount of data because of it. Smart features don’t work half the time. If this is going to be your first Garmin watch, you may like it but it’s definitely not worth the upgrade from previous generations, and most definitely not worth the price tag.

I switched from a Samsung Gear watch. This has far more features, and a great screen. Plus it holds a charge for a long time.

Great but

I bought this watch a month ago. I really enjoy the battery life and the screen. My only annoyance is sometimes it doesn’t correctly pick up my sleep and another big thing is, I can’t send text via iOS from the watch. And that itself is making me debate about getting an android phone or switching to the ultra 3

Good but.....

I've had for about a month and like most of the features. Buttons are strange but functional - locks up when I try to start an activity and has to be rebooted about once a day.

I upgraded from a Forerunner 255 and I have no regrets. This watch is extremely functional, the battery life is exceptional and I can’t wait to use it for more adventures.
