Very Happy, great features, great battery

Upgrade from Apple 11 and couldn't be happier. I haven't explored and utilized every app option, but the simple asthetics, screen quality and battery life already made it a winner.

Great, try it with chatgpt

I use it for running. It has been helpful in coaching, scheduling workouts tailored to my body’s response to and recovery from exercise. All the data is a lot, but when I feed it to chatGPT, I get some pretty cool insights. Wish there were a patch to make it easier to share the information with chat.

This watch would not charge. I did everything instructed to try and get it to charge. Cleaned the charge ports, tried different chargers, software reset, and even tried another charge cord. Ended up returning the watch within 14 days of purchase.

Size and display are great. It has heft. The haptic works well. All the programs function as they should. I only wish I had the wherewithal to utilise it's potential. The health tracking is most important.

Great watch

I bought this about a month ago and I'm really impressed with the quality, the options, and the way it works, it's amazing what you can do with it. It is a bit complicated to work and does take some time to learn but it's a great watch and will do almost anything.

Leaves you wanting more…

Good but with the expectation it’s underwhelming.
Fenix 6 - Fenix 6x - Fenix 7x - Apple Watch Ultra 3 - Fenix 8 solar 51 - to this. Experienced all. Looks great, limited experience with the confusing mobile package. The awu3 is just easier to use. The health tracking is always superior on the garmin but compatibility with iPhone and just ease of use and flow is clunky.

Disappointed in the battery too. AWU3 gets 2+ days always on this will get ~5? Maybe which at the end of the day…idk. I have it as not always on but that only last ~8/9 days with an activity almost every day. Far reach from the solar and prior Fenix models. When you compare the compatibility of the awu3 at 2 days battery + smart features vs this with ~5 days worse compatibility and smart feature but better health tracking…id go with an older Fenix/epix/enduro and pair it with a cheaper Apple Watch to get connectivity misses. Idk disappointed but if you want 1 watch it does the job and has a better battery life especially if you have always on - off.

Converting from a apple watch user for many years
on August 7, 2026
Posted by: hotrod2
I bought this watch a month ago, have been an Apple user for the last 6-7 years, and so far, I like the Garmin 8 Pro's AMOLED display. Lots to learn about the functions it has to offer, but from day to day use, I really enjoy it so far, and love that I don't have to charge it but every 10 days or so. I noticed that the specs note that the 47mm can last 15 days or so, and that maybe the case if you don't get notices, texts, etc. But I do, and it only lasts about 9-10 days of charge on mine.
