Need A Hike Tracker

I don’t know how many stars to rate because it may be user error. I don’t enjoy it so far. I want to backpack with it for very long distances but I can’t even get the hike on the screen to display distance, time, elevation gain and pace. I can’t make the wheel show the icons I need. And my parrot already bit off one of the loops that hold down the watch band. I only use metal watch bands. My Apple Watch uses too much battery but the parrot can’t chew it up. I really need to make this Garmin work

Great Cycling Watch!!!

I just love the Fenix 8 , I have used an Apple Watch for years and they just don’t do cycling any justice!!!The Fenix is built for Cyclists!!!! GREAT JOB!!!!!

Objective And Subjective Review For Watermen

Candid opinion, from perspective of a full time charter guide and ocean enthusiast: 1.The extra tech features (voice, phone connectivity, etc) are not features I want on a watch. I want to be less connected to my phone, not more. So I turned the features off... but you are still paying for them. 2.The auto speaker port is not bueno if you are using the watch for surfing or ocean fishing on a regular basis - I am a professional charter fisherman and surf regularly. Sand, wax, and grit get into the port and closed it within 2 months of daily use, even with nightly cleaning and the water "purge" feature which I suspect does not do much, if anything- This is an objective design issue, IMO, given its advertisement as a "do it all" watch. If you are a water athlete, get a different watch. 3.The new leak proof buttons are objectively better. My 7 Pro buttons broke twice due to water and sand intrusion. 4. It is good that Garmin is still investing in solar, non-amole screens. The AMOLED can be distracting, are not as good in bright sun, and don't have the battery life if you are really getting after it on the water. For example, on a surf trip to Mexico I forgot my charger cord, the battery was nearly dead on arrival, but with the solar I was able to charge the watch in the sun and kept it going for three weeks. I love and hate Garmin. It has always been that way. Would love it if they would stop chasing Apple with the connectivity features. Make a utilitarian, still high build quality/titanium watch and for god sakes these watches don't last more than 5-7 years best case so the price point needs work. If this has to be the price point, the warranty should be extended. It's a great watch if you are a causal user or a runner, etc. But if you are heavy on the water activities, I'd recommend an older edition of the Decent at a discount or a different brand.

Poor Battery Life

Disappointing battery life, loosing 10%+ daily with many hours of direct sunlight. My epix gen 2 had a better battery life with an amoled screen.

Solar 47mm

Outstanding, does everything I need it to do, mip screen is great for outdoors and always on. Battery life great

Don’t Be An Idiot.

Wow. Best watch I’ve had. You are an idiot if you don’t buy one of these.

Garmin Just Keeps Getting Better And Better…

I’ve been a loyal Garmin user since roughly 2017. I rely solely on Garmin for all of my cycling and running and weightlifting training. I have had numerous forerunner watches over the years and in the last several years I switched to the Fenix7. I now have the Fenix8 And I absolutely love it. It is very stylish and the screen is great and the buttons work great and everything is just so awesome with this watch.

Best Watch Ever!

I have had a Fenix 6 for years and just purchased the Fenix 8 and I love it!! Touch face options, voice controls, and since I bought the solar version long battery life. The best watch I have ever owned.

Swiss Army Knife Of Watches!

I thought my Forerunner had everything I needed - except battery life. So I upgraded to this watch. Wow!!! So many cool features I was missing out on! Nine metrics just on the watch face. Touchscreen scrolling and data access. I barely have to open the phone app anymore; it's all on my wrist. Plus fun features like the flashlight, nap timer, Health Status, compass, maps, weather by the hour. Worth every penny!

Great Watch!!

The watch is perfect for my run and other activities. Too bad that my watch gets scratched on the first day of wearing it because I am clumsy.

Battery Lasts Two Weeks Without Recharging

All that I hoped for and more! I bought it to track sleep, HR, runs, and VO2 max. It also does pulse oximetry and ECG. I love this device!

Amazing Upgrade

Finally bit the bullet and purchased this after years with my instict. The solar feature along with the speaking feature is amazing. This will be a great addition to my fitness journey and will for sure help a ton during my hunting trips

Great Upgrade From The Fenix7

I had a ton of issues with my Fenix 7, HRM inaccuracies, GPS antenna breaking, ect. Picking up the 8 has been a completely different experience. It's ran flawlessly so far. I'm very impressed with it. The additional features are very handy (speaker, microphone)

Great All Around Watch

I upgraded from the original Venu to the fenix 8 solar. It's nice to have more activities to log, a larger screen and a watch that will last longer through my ultra runs. I havent been able to see much difference with the solar portion. My only issue is that I have smaller wrists, and the weight is considerably heavier and noticeable with this watch.

Does It All!

I received this watch as a gift. I'm so pleased with the new light feature and being able to talk right from my wrist. Never having to pause my activity for productivity. The Fenix 8 is like a personal assistant attached to you. Reminders, workouts, daily health stats, the list goes on and on.
