Excellent
After using an Apple Watch for over a decade, I like this one. My Apple Watch's ability to monitor my pulse rate when working out is always a challenge for me.The Garmin watch has now resolved the issue.Additionally, the run's accuracy is superior to that of the Apple Watch.I also enjoy the statistics on the watch and the Garmin Connect after working out.

Dependable, rugged, life saving
I got this shortly after it's release in October of 2024. I have worn it everyday since buying it. I've gotten many compliments on it. The features alone are worth it. This watch actually helped save my life. I use the GPS tracking for dirt bike rides daily. I've had multiple close calls on my bike, but this watch was able to provide help to me from the gps, flashlight, and body monitoring vitals. Although it doesn't take blood pressures it was able to show HR, RR, and BPM out of range when I became extremely dehydrated. Showed the way out of remote areas when turned around. The flashlight is perfect and lit my way out of the mountains when my other lights failed. The battery life alone is worth more than any other watch I have tried. I wish it had a few more features for text. Eg. talk to text or write to text. The voice calling failed on mine maybe a function disabled but it's still great. It helped me identify the sources of stress in my life too. There are so many features I don't use. If you question its worth. Don't. It's dependable, rugged, life saving, and lasts for weeks while using GPS, the led light, and texting.

Long-time Garmin customer.
I have been a long-time Garmin customer with many watches going back to the Fenix 3. I have been happy with all, and now that I have both Enduro 3 and the Fenix 8. Both watches are excellent, and I use them at various times for my daily needs. However, the Fenix 8 offers the most capabilities for what I hoped a smartwatch would be during my daily use. The AMOLED is excellent, and mapping is crisp. The build quality is superb, and I do not worry about damage to any part of the smartwatch. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a watch that can literally do it all and then some. The other great thing about Garmin is that they still offer updates to my previous watches, so I can say that all my previous watches still work well and have maintained great battery and functionality.

Awesome Features not just a watch.
I got this as a gift about 3 weeks ago. NI really love it. I also have a Fenix3 HR, but is one takes it to the top of the hill. So many more features.

Out of the ashes comes the Fenix
I use the watch primarily for MTBing. I do walk daily and recently have used it to scuba dive. The display was bright and easy to read underwater, the compass was very nice and the alarm for ascending too fast was audible and visually awesome. If you are an outdoors or underwater enthusiast it is a happy blend of features.
I also like that I can change the display colors and styles to match my personality.

Upgrade from Fenix 6
The basic function is the same as Fenix 6, but GPS and HR accuracy appears improved, an LED light is added and several additional functions are added, This is all in addition to the AMOLED screen with twice the resolution and vivid color that now adds pictures to push notifications. Oh, and the speaker / microphone and touch screen plus the buttons still work as before. It seems to me a quite a few smallish improvements that I really like. I just had to decide to spend the money, and I'm glad I did.

Garmin‘s best watch yet!
I have owned Garmin watches since the Fenix 6. The newest.Fenix 8 is incredible. I find it hard to exceed its abilities. Including the fact that it is my back up scuba diving computer. I wouldn’t wear anything else.

Garmin is Locked In
The Fenix 8 has helped motivate me to continue my passion for running and personal improvement. At 53, I’m still getting Personal Best runs following the Garmin recommended training runs.

Exceptional Screen Quality
Screen clarity and brightness are phenomenal. Watch functions are smooth, fast and very responsive to both button and touch actions. Battery life is great, daily activity tracked and took 20 days to get down to 30%.

AMOLED is king
AMOLED is such a good upgrade rom the Fenix 7X Pro Sapphire (solar). Found that as I get a little older, had a harder time seeing the day time. Such a good upgrade overall

The Best I've Used
I have had a total of four Apple Watches. The last was an Ultra, with the promise of better battery life. While this was true for the first year, it wasn't for the remaining three. My Fenix has exceeded every expectation i had, from battery life to health metrics. Even better - I can wear it when I do a boxing workout or training session. This was not possible with Apple Watch, as every one registered a punch as a fall.

Upgrade
I have had this for about a month and it is the third generation I've own over the years. This is a must have if you currently have any other model. It is brighter and has a better response during physical activity than the last models.

All Around Great Watch
I’ve had the Fenix 8 for about a month. I had a Garmin Instinct 2 solar before and decided to upgrade and get the Fenix. It has been worth it.
It maps extremely well on outdoor runs and tracks everything you could possibly need.
The amount of features this watch has is amazing.
I’ve used it on walks, runs, treadmill runs, hiking, and hunting and it has worked perfectly.
Of course with Garmin, the battery life has been great.
I definitely recommend this watch.

Super Integration with Garmin and Phone Systems
I upgraded from my Garmin Fenix 5+ to the Fenix 8, 51mm Amoled display. It's great. I am very happy with the new capabilities and easy integration with my Garmin bike computer and phone. Happy camper here!

Love my new Garmin!
Had a Forerunner 245, 255 for many years - the upgrade to a larger, big-boy Garmin is just my favorite. I love the rugedness of the screen, the built in flashlight is excellent, and the AMOLED is such a nice upgrade. It's solid and feels like it'll last me many years, awesome!

I bought this watch with way too many features on it that I wasn’t going to use for the sole purpose of growing in to it. Also wanted a product that would continue to receive updates from Garmin on the latest platform. So far, it has exceeded all of my expectations.
