Great Watch!

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.

Beyond Expectations!

I can't believe the ease of functionality and all it has to offer. Learning more everyday!

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!

Garmin Fenix Series

I started with a Fenix 5, moved on to a 6 then a 7. Finally a Fenix 8 amoled watch. Screen is great and easy to read. Buttons are easy to use etc. I am very happy!

Very Complicated

2 weeks in, and I am still struggling to learn this watch. I've had a Samsung Smart watch for a long time. I switched for battery life and apps like tide monitoring and to use as a scuba back up. 2 weeks in, I don't understand the controls, the manual is 188 pages and the watch does things on its own that I haven't figured out how to control (ex: watch face changes at some point in the night, and back around 7:15 am, but how I adjust this, I haven't had time to investigate). There is also a high dependency on the Garmin Connect app. I can't even see my steps or stair flights except on my phone. It's probably on my watch, somewhere, but not that I've been able to see. Likewise, I haven't had the time to figure out how to run apps when I want them. I loaded a tide app, tried it in Seattle area (where I bought the fenix 8) and 1) couldn't get back to the watch face without resetting the watch, and 2) the location seems locked onto Seattle (I'm now back in North Carolina). I have questions about the accuracy (or at least consistency/precision) on things like steps or stairs. I spent 3 days moving from a house, with multiple trips to an attic 2-stories up. I really only did stairs, up and down, but Garmin Connect, on a single day, recorded many more stair descended (~50 flights) versus stair flights ascended (~36). The battery life is great, as is the AMOLED but I find this early experience frustrating.
