Pixel replacement
on July 24, 2026
Posted by: JzF2
Bought this a month ago to replace my Pixel Watch 4 LTE. I have been very happy with the watch, it can do everything my Pixel was doing and so much more. Works seamlessly with my Pixel 10 Pro XL phone.

Battery life is amazing. Still learning how to use it. So many great features on it. Flashlight came in clutch already. Going to buy another just for work so I don’t ruin this one.

Phone-Free inReach
on July 22, 2026
Posted by: VAC_RUN
Upgraded from the Forerunner 945 because I wanted a watch with inReach technology. I have an inReach Mini 2 paired with my Forerunner 945 but on the day I really needed it I forgot it at home. Never again, now my Fenix 8 Pro can call 911 over LTE even if I'm 7 miles from the trailhead and badly hurt. My testing shows that the Fenix 8 Pro's satellite features are NOT as good as the inReach Mini 2, so I will keep them both and use the real inReach device as a backcountry back up.
In terms of watch features, it is way better than the Forerunner and obviously deserves Garmin's designation as their S-tier running watch. The battery life is good, but not great on the 47mm. Far better than the Forerunner but I am still charging it every few days with a 40m/week workload.

It’s a process
on July 21, 2026
Posted by: The old man
I bought this watch to upgrade my life/exercise data from the Apple. A lot of the presentations don’t apply to me as I don’t want a workout plan. I have one. I’m 73 yo and some of the analysis doesn’t apply to me. It may to some of the 73 yo guys but not me. Regardless learning all the buttons and when to push is a learning curve. But paired with my inreach and my 1030. I think I’ll get better guidance. It hasn’t been a month.

Best one yet

Pick this up to replace my epic Gen 2. I wanted a watch that would have the built-in SOS in reach service. This one fits the bill. Exercising everyday I still get approximately 7 days of battery life with GPS.. Even though this is on the expensive side it's worth it to me.

Fenix 8 Screen Freezes During Workouts and Display
on July 20, 2026
Posted by: Eduardo Pires
I purchased my Garmin Fenix 8 in February 2026, and since then it has been experiencing frequent screen freezes during workouts. This is very disruptive because I have to restart the watch every time it happens, interrupting my exercise and affecting the tracking of my activities.
The issue occurs every day, as I work out daily. Now, in addition to the recurring screen freezes, the display has become corrupted, as shown in the attached photo.
I believe this is not normal behavior for a premium device that is only a few months old. I would appreciate your assistance in resolving this issue, whether through troubleshooting, repair, or replacement under warranty.

From Fenix 8 to Pro
on July 14, 2026
Posted by: None26
Primary reason for the rating is due to the cost. The Fenix 8 Pro offers a brighter screen and more responsive screen and buttons. Coming from a Fenix 8 it’s definitely noticeable. Another ding is the lack of trade in program.
Longer warranty would also be valuable option.
