Great Watch

Love this watch but still wish the battery life was better

Bought This To Count My Steps

I love it but wish it had a weekly total count like my Fitbit does.

Mostly Positive, But With A Few Drawbacks

History; I have been a loyal Garmin Fenix user since the early days of F5, which I enjoyed it tremendously same as F6, F6sPro, F7s Pro SS. So, I have purchased 2x Garmin Fenix 8, 47mm solar/MIP displays, but I had to return them both. Design: superb, best Fenix or Garmin watch to date. Definitely a big pro here. Best rugged sports watch on the market- design & functionality at its best. OS: also excellent, nice overhaul UX, not the most intuitive but easy to adapt to after a little while. Lastly, I didn’t experience any glitches. Another positive point here. Battery: yet again, another home run by Garmin. No issues to report, certainly an improvement from my Fenix 7s Pro Sapphire Solar (42 mm) There are however 2x drawbacks for me. 1. the titanium bezel scratches way too easily. I am VERY careful with all my watches (habit I picked up from wearing expensive mechanical watches like Omega, Tudor, etc)…in a week, it already picked up visible scratches. For a rugged sports watch, I would have preferred a more durable titanium version, or stainless steel would do just fine. 2. my biggest gripe however were the new inductive buttons. About 30% of the time, they didn’t register my input (ps I disabled touchscreen, so I solely relied on buttons interactions; I need a sports watch not a smart one, so if my hands are sweaty or wet, touch screen is moot). These wireless buttons also lacked tactile feedback, despite enabling the vibration feature. I have calibrated the buttons several times via Garmin Express, but to no avail. TL:DR Sadly, I returned the F8, and got an Enduro 3. The buttons are perfect, battery is superlative (best in business), MIP screen is fantastic- exactly what I needed (the lack of speaker and dive functionality on the Enduro 3 have zero effect - I don’t need an extension of my phone on my wrist, AMOLED or MicroLED colour screens…and I’m a land creature). @Garmin - you lost me from continuing w/ the Fenix line, but didn’t jump ship to Suunto, Corps or, god forbid Apple…Soo glad that you continue to make Enduro line. Not all of us want inspector gadget flashy, and admittedly somewhat useless for the most of us , like colour screens that kill battery, microphone or fancy buttons. If one needs diving…don’t you already have Descent series?

Great

Love it! Its so great, still learning to use some of the features but battery life is amazing

Great Watch!

I bought this watch last month and I'm glad I did. Very durable than the last watch.
