Love the features and battery life.

I've had the Fenix 8 for nearly a month now. I've had it over three weeks now and haven't charged it since the day I got it, when I initially charged it. I came over from an Apple Ultra Watch, and I'm very glad I made the switch. From weather to tracking workouts, to sleep and pulse O2, this thing is great. The only thing so far I'd like to see change is a longer charging cable with a 90-degree end at the watch would be better, but since it doesn't have to be charged very frequently, I can live with that.

I have not figured out all the features.

I have not worn watching years. My father bought me a Seiko when I graduated high school. Holy smokes did I ever buy a nice watch? It looks good on your wrist. I swim now and I can tie my laps. I also resell boats and has a whole module for sailboat racing. It is awesome. I treated myself to it for my 60th birthday.

Awesome Watch

Purchased the Fenix 8, 51mm AMOLED sapphire, just over a month ago and I’m very pleased with the watch. I owned a Fenix 7 Solar previously and it was a solid watch with great features and quality. Made the move to the 8 for the AMOLED feature knowing the brightness of the watch face would be a big plus. The feel of the button press is different from the Fenix 7 but not in a bad or odd way. I have been an Apple Ultra 2 owner and wearer but no more. The features, AMOLED face and battery life of the Fenix 8 have converted me to become a Garmin daily wearer.

Great Features and a Worthwhile Upgrade
on August 1, 2025

I upgraded to the Fenix 8 51mm from the Epix Pro II (51mm). For me the upgrade was worthwhile. I like the way the new buttons function. I also like the updated interface, which takes very little time to get used to. I also really like the mini-speaker. All of these features have me really enjoying the watch. I have owned every Fenix variant since the Fenix 3 and think the jump from Epix to Fenix was the most significant.

Such a nice upgrade

I purchase this as an upgrade to an older Garmin. The display, maps and speed to acquire a GPS fix are amazing. I also love the LED flashlight, Mic and Speaker of the watch. The battery life is also very good considering all the built in features.

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!
