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!

Quality product overall
I was replacing a 6 yeaors ol Forerunner and I cannot be more happy. This is one of the best watches I have owned and so far has been a good companion for my tennis and swimming journey.

Fenix 8
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.

I bought this less than a month ago and just found out about the Fenix 8 pro.
I wish I would have waited.

Has the features I need, long battery life, AMOLED
Bought it for recreational diving. Great activities watch for individual sports, sleep monitoring, LED light, messages come across. Can receive calls, it has a speaker and microphone! Also works well for altitude and O2 Saturation. Not cheap though it combines multiple watches for me!

Apple to Garmin
I bought this watch 2 weeks ago I am still learning all the functions. It's very impressive overall. I found that my sleep function and body battery readings stay low even after 2 days of rest and what feels like good sleep. love the GPS and exercise functions along with all the other functions. Coming from Apple there is a definite learning curve. I would purchase again.

Battery life is insane. Watch looks beautiful. Everything works without wifi or having cellular data. Hands down 1000% better than apple ultra watch.

Great upgrade
Had the fenix 6x pro for many years, finally bit the dust. Got trade in value for it for same cost as replacing it. And upgraded to the 8X Pro. Love the new one with all its features and AMOLED screen. Also a great thing my old watch bands work for it great.

First venture into smart watches. Tracks my metrics and workouts. Syncs well with Samsung phone and other Garmin devices for complete system integration. Lots of features i don't use but would buy again and def recommend to friends.

Best Garmin I’ve Ever Had!
I bought this a month ago and am delighted w it! It looks cool, the interchangeable watch faces are fun to experiment with, and the amount of data I get is incredible! In GPS mode, it does not need any time to locate the satellites like previous Garmins I’ve owned. It took awhile to get the hang of all the buttons, but once I did it’s no problem. I really appreciate ALL the functions available on this device. The only criticisms are pretty minor: (1) It does seem to get kind of dim in certain lighting conditions, like the “auto brightness” function maybe isn’t the best; and (2) When it displays my sleep patterns the colors used to represent REM sleep and “awake” are so similar that it’s just a little more confusing than it would be otherwise. But I am so glad I bought this watch!
