Does it ALL!

I received this watch as a gift. I'm so pleased with the new light feature and being able to talk right from my wrist. Never having to pause my activity for productivity. The Fenix 8 is like a personal assistant attached to you. Reminders, workouts, daily health stats, the list goes on and on.

Great all around watch

I upgraded from the original Venu to the fenix 8 solar. It's nice to have more activities to log, a larger screen and a watch that will last longer through my ultra runs. I havent been able to see much difference with the solar portion. My only issue is that I have smaller wrists, and the weight is considerably heavier and noticeable with this watch.

Great upgrade from the Fenix7

I had a ton of issues with my Fenix 7, HRM inaccuracies, GPS antenna breaking, ect. Picking up the 8 has been a completely different experience. It's ran flawlessly so far. I'm very impressed with it. The additional features are very handy (speaker, microphone)

Finally bit the bullet and purchased this after years with my instict.
The solar feature along with the speaking feature is amazing. This will be a great addition to my fitness journey and will for sure help a ton during my hunting trips

All that I hoped for and more! I bought it to track sleep, HR, runs, and VO2 max. It also does pulse oximetry and ECG. I love this device!

The watch is perfect for my run and other activities. Too bad that my watch gets scratched on the first day of wearing it because I am clumsy.
