Great All around Watch
on September 9, 2025
Posted by: Smartas
I’ve been using Garmin Fenix since version 6 and honestly the capabilities keep getting better with each revision. Definitely a must have for any outdoor/fitness enthusiasts.
Downsides: cost, Garmin knows they have a winner so the cost keeps going with each release. Eventually this platform will be phase itself out because the average consumer won’t be able to afford them.
Unreliable software releases. To Garmins credit they maintain the current watch release software exceptionally well. However, their support for previous versions is none existent.

Fenix 8

I bought this watch with way too many features on it that I wasn’t going to use for the sole purpose of growing in to it. Also wanted a product that would continue to receive updates from Garmin on the latest platform. So far, it has exceeded all of my expectations.

I bought this less than a month ago and just found out about the Fenix 8 pro.
I wish I would have waited.

Bought it for recreational diving. Great activities watch for individual sports, sleep monitoring, LED light, messages come across. Can receive calls, it has a speaker and microphone! Also works well for altitude and O2 Saturation. Not cheap though it combines multiple watches for me!

Apple to Garmin
on August 30, 2025
Posted by: JD25
I bought this watch 2 weeks ago I am still learning all the functions. It's very impressive overall. I found that my sleep function and body battery readings stay low even after 2 days of rest and what feels like good sleep. love the GPS and exercise functions along with all the other functions. Coming from Apple there is a definite learning curve. I would purchase again.

It is hard to find programs and then keep them on the screen.

Battery life is insane. Watch looks beautiful. Everything works without wifi or having cellular data. Hands down 1000% better than apple ultra watch.
