Great Garmin watch

Hello, I bought the Garmin 8 on February 1st and so far I think it's great. It has many features that the 7 didn't have.
The presentations, graphics, screens, and above all the possibility of sending short messages when necessary is spectacular, wherever you are.
I think it was a necessary innovation, although I still have my 7 XPRO Solar. Congratulations on the product.

This is my second Garmin watch, and they are second to none. Simple. Style, functions, battery life.

I've been a Garmin user for years and they just keep outdoing their previous models. The Fenix 8 is no exception. Comfortable, fully featured, and worth every penny.

I like this watch

I've had it a month, swithing from an Apple Watch. I was worried because I am in the mac ecosystem with an iPhone, iPad, and Mac. But it integrates smoothly, no hassle at all. Very accurate fitness tracker (treadmill, hiking, rower). AND- It intergrates with my Garmin Chart plotter and Force Current kayak motor, so I can control my fishing kayak with my watch..... I like the watch a lot, looks good, a long time between charges. Very happy with my purchase.

So Clean and Leaves no Stone unturned

As a 6 foot four male I love this watch. It doesn’t feel too big for me. The features are super clean. I don’t feel like over informed. I actually like a lot of the information that it gives to me. I like the way that I’m able to customize it it does not feel too heavy on my wrist or big. I used the flashlight feature more than I thought I would especially the red one at night. I don’t like receiving texts on my watch so it was nice to be able to turn that off. I do like the Wallet feature. I like not having to go to my phone to get a very beautiful graph on where I am in my running and training so overall really great watch very happy to have made this purchase. This review was left with voice recorder.
