Great Multisport watch the smartphone is a bonus!!
I've have the Fenix 8 for my active lifestyle. Great battery life, I get around 19 days when I have to charge. I could get 21 days but don't want to risk it. I'm active and record my cycling, running, hiking and sleep. The set-up was easy using the Garmin Command app and Connect IQ for my customizations and the voice commands is great addon. Using the watch as a phone is a plus.

Epix pro 2 to Fenix 8.
Coming from an Epix pro 2. Fenix 8 fit is amazing. Same features and the way to swap watches is seamlessly. My only complaint is the action buttons. You can only save 3 favorites so you better just use voice commands (watch it on YouTube) and this will save you many steps of locating what exercise to choose. Known bug, wrist movement and the whole screen is not bright.

The watch that does it all!
I have never owned a watch that kept such detailed and accurate measurements and metrics of my physical condition, etc. Very happy with this watch for its durability. the longevity of the battery life, and of course, using it for training to ensure that I am getting the best results. I highly recommend this product!

Amazing watch!
Only had it for about 2 weeks but this thing is amazing. The display is so clear and bright, but I’m still figuring out all of the things it can do. Garmin connect is seamless and easy to use, battery life is incredible and function is pretty straightforward and intuitive. Have not had a chanc so use the dive feature yet though!

Great watch
I used a fenix 6 for years, and now the fenix 8. Great watch for my active lifestyle. My fenix 6 had a problem with the connector pins for charging getting corroded. This has been much improved on fenix 8.

Fantastic Features
My favorite Garmin so far. Excellent GPS reception and I feel the wrist HR sensor is much more accurate than previous models. Features added recently have made this a much better watch.

Overall Fantastic - Fenix User for Long Time
This is at least my sixth watch under the banner of Fenix. So I'm a dedicated and satisfied customer. I've had once or twice where I've had to get replacements over the years but this version Fenix 8 has serve me well. Like to see more with nutrition library and finally got ECG working since returning to the United States recently, at least here for the moment.

Great Garmin watch
Hello, I bought the Garmin 8 on February 1st and so far I think it's great. It has many features that the 7 didn't have.
The presentations, graphics, screens, and above all the possibility of sending short messages when necessary is spectacular, wherever you are.
I think it was a necessary innovation, although I still have my 7 XPRO Solar. Congratulations on the product.

Top of the line. Top choice.
I've been a Garmin user for years and they just keep outdoing their previous models. The Fenix 8 is no exception. Comfortable, fully featured, and worth every penny.

I like this watch
I've had it a month, swithing from an Apple Watch. I was worried because I am in the mac ecosystem with an iPhone, iPad, and Mac. But it integrates smoothly, no hassle at all. Very accurate fitness tracker (treadmill, hiking, rower). AND- It intergrates with my Garmin Chart plotter and Force Current kayak motor, so I can control my fishing kayak with my watch..... I like the watch a lot, looks good, a long time between charges. Very happy with my purchase.

So Clean and Leaves no Stone unturned
As a 6 foot four male I love this watch. It doesn’t feel too big for me. The features are super clean. I don’t feel like over informed. I actually like a lot of the information that it gives to me. I like the way that I’m able to customize it it does not feel too heavy on my wrist or big. I used the flashlight feature more than I thought I would especially the red one at night. I don’t like receiving texts on my watch so it was nice to be able to turn that off. I do like the Wallet feature. I like not having to go to my phone to get a very beautiful graph on where I am in my running and training so overall really great watch very happy to have made this purchase. This review was left with voice recorder.

Worth the money
I’ve been using a Fenix watch for many years. At age 76 I questioned whether it was worth upgrading from my Fenix 5. After daily use for the past month I’ve found the additional features were well worth the money.

Love it!!
Love my new Fenix 8. Just upgraded from the 6. The screen is so easy to read. I love the touch screen - it's just as sensitive as my iPhone screen. I thought the flash light was going to be gimmicky - but it actually works great reading menus in dark restaurants and finding my way in the dark. Battery life is crazy. I am on day 18 of the first charge and still says I have 31% remaining. I used to get 6-7 days out of my old 6.

Easy to use--accurate.
I've lived with my Fenix 8 for about 8 months now. It's proven to be easy to use and has some great, "didn't know I'd use that" features like the flashlight and find my phone chime.

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.
