Great Watch
I have owned the fenix 8 for nearly 2 years and love the features, fuctionality and looks. I primarily use for exercise and golf. I wish Garmin had a trade in program to upgrade.

Exceptional Watch
I am loving my new Garmin Fenix 8 Amoled 51.
I was worried the size was going to be too large. It fits and feels very comfortable on my wrist. Not to large at all. Perfect fit. (5’11’ 195.). So many features. It took me a couple days to figure most of the functions out. I am looking forward to using it for skiing and hiking this winter. Great fitness features. Health tracking is exceptional. I bought my wife the Vivoactive 6. She is loving it.
The most exceptional feature on the Garmin watches is battery life. I have left mine on “display always on” and have not had to charge for over 17 days. I charged it when it was down to 18% battery, just because. I could have easily gotten 2 or more days of battery life. So far this has been the best watch I’ve ever owned. The flashlight is surprisingly bright and easy to use. I had to use mine in an emergency and it functioned beyond my expectations. Highly recommend the Garmin Fenix line. Keep up the good work!

Unbelievable watch with information
I never knew just how much information is available on one watch. This watch has information available on your wrist for any type of sport known to man. From running, biking, golf, fishing even flying.

Rugged and bomb proof
amazing super smart watch! love all the different activities that are build in. Super rugged and bomb proof. The glass is insanely hard and scratch resistant. I was on a job site and buped into the corner of a brick wall with the face of the watch and to my surprise there was not so much as a nick on the glass.
The battery is also crazy long lasting.....20 days!!!!
The flashlight is amazing, i use it daily!

Great Product!
First time going with a Garmin watch! It’s absolutely fantastic and I believe way better than an Apple product! I’ve had Apple for years. I’m so glad I made the switch!!! I’m enjoying the watch, it has every need that I attended for it to have! Thank You Garmin.

Stunningly awesome
Truly the most awesome personal electronic technology device I have ever had the pleasure of using. 51mm screen allows quick to get info. be it trail map, bike route, kayak map, or trail run stats. Wealth of available apps is impressive. Personal monitoring: EEG - crazy. Size of watch not an issue. Only negative for me was lack of I reach capability. Must have for mountain hiking. So I'm upgrading to fenix 9 pro.

Great Battey Life & Lots of Customizable Features
Great battery life and just a little less while using GPS. Keeps track of my days physical activities, such as mountain biking, workouts at the gym and flying my paramotor. My wife love the tracking and it gives her piece of mind. Works well with my chest strap heart monitor. Very customizable!

A worthy Upgrade!
I recently upgraded my garmin gear. I was an original fenix 3 HR owner with the sapphire glass. It served its life well and is still alive and fully functional! The main reason for upgrade was the battery life was deteriorating.
I debated for quite a while on which model 8 to go with and ultimately chose the AMOLED display in the same 51mm. I’m blown away with the performance and options this new piece of kit has to offer. It’s a learning curve with the new features and apps this can handle but it was a worthy upgrade.
To note. Most of my long thru hikes last a few weeks max. My runs are 10k in the woods. And I’m normally close to civilization or carry a charger. But I have yet to need to charge this thing until I get home. Even over 14 days while using the tracking when set up correctly I made it home wi the at least another 2 weeks of life left in the watch.

Dedicated Epix fan until I met the Fenix 51mm. Battery lasts for weeks and scores of adventures. Rugged and handsome.

Huge Step Up in Sleep & Recovery Insight
Upgraded from an 8-year-old Fenix 5 Pro Sapphire that still works perfectly, sapphire screen still pristine. That's Garmin quality for you, and it's why I'm pretty much a forever customer at this point. The Fenix 8's sensors are a big leap forward: sleep tracking is far more detailed, with real onset/wake accuracy instead of rough estimates, plus Body Battery, HRV, SpOâ‚‚, and restless moments working together to actually explain how I'm recovering. AMOLED display is gorgeous and easy to read anytime. This is my daily driver watch, and it's earned that spot.

Too much!!! In a good way
I know, I know ... For a suburban dad, middle aged and a recreational sports guy, this thing is total overkill. But, that's why I love it... The running, weight training, music storage, customization, golf, cycling, skiing, yoga, and all activities make this thing a beast. It's too big, it's too robust, and I absolutely LOVE it. Great step up from the Fenix 6 which I had for 6 years or so. Wouldn't go back!

Amazing smartwatch and even better fitness and health device. Only way it could be better is if there was a Solar AMOLED version.

No buyers remorse. Excellent watch/tracker
30 days in with the watch and it is performing extremely well. Battery life is insane with normal use and apps/ menus are very responsive. I upgraded the band to a Bandletic which compliments the 51mm perfectly.One downside is the adaptive brightness which can not be customized or switched off. Otherwise this has been a solid watch and enjoyable to use. I still wear my Mudmaster for heavier outdoor work just in case.

Feaure Rich Device
I bought the Garmin fenix 8 AMOLED (51mm) about a month ago and love it. There is a bit of a learning curve to find and configure all the settings and link to Training Peaks (if you use TP).
