Best watch I’ve owned

I bought this watch a month ago because I needed something I could use at work and dive with with part of NSW this watch has met all my needs. I previously owned Apple Watches and they don’t compare to my Garmin fenix 8!

I bought the Garmin Fenix 8 a month ago, and I’m absolutely thrilled with it. What an amazing smartwatch! It delivers everything you’d expect – and more. From the build quality to the battery life, tracking accuracy, and smart features, it’s top notch. Whether I’m training, hiking, or at work, it’s reliable and packed with useful insights. Highly recommended for anyone serious about performance and durability!

Fenix 8 Sapphire AMOLED - Victor E.

I had a Fenix 5S for a while and loved it. Unfortunately it would no longer charge. The folks at Garmin took care of me and got me into the Fenix 8 I now have. I love the new features and really love the new screen.
With such upgrades, I wish, my only gripe and issue, something would be done about how the watch is charged, dump the cable and do the magnetic charging, cables go bad. The charging method is the only reason I give it a 4 instead of a 5. I look forward to make more years of wearing a Garmin.

IS IT’S OWN ANIMAL

Switched from AWU2 looking for a bigger screen and MAINLY better battery life. Garmin came through big time! I’ve owned Fenix8 51mm for 3 weeks now. Wear it everyday, charged it once a couple of weeks ago. AMAZING battery life!! Amoled screen is easy to read and I’m still learning different watch faces and applications. It’s taking me some time to learn commands and navigation coming from the ultra, but I have zero regrets with switching. Even though it’s 51mm it fits my 19cm wrist very comfortably. The titanium is perfect, I don’t even feel like I’m wearing a watch. With AWU2 I felt it, didn’t like it. I’m loving the ECG feature the most. It seems accurate and it’s very easy to use. Loving the Body Battery too! This timepiece is truly worthy of the price. And here’s the best thing: it’s a real watch, it’s not an IPhone on your wrist. Loving Garmin. Thank you.

Garmin Fenix 8 review

Have use this watch for a month 24/7 and find it to be exactly what was advertised. My previous watches was fenix 5x, and Mrk 2i diving watch. I loved the fenix 5x so thought the Fenix 8 with new upgrades would be great and it has meant those expectations. We will see how this watch continues to perform as I continue to use it everyday.
