The Buttons Are Awesome

Traded up because the buttons on my 7 were getting stuck and not working. These buttons don't have any mechanical parts so this is no longer an issue. The 8 so far has been wonderful. I only have to charge it once every 12-15 days as long and I'm getting out and surfing enough. Would love to do a Youtube Review on it.

Take The Chance

So far I’ve stopped wearing my Apple Watch. This watch has been a lifesaver. Absolutely love only charging about once per month. I’m able to track my sleep now. Love every function of this watch. Was in a situation I needed some light and remembered I had it on my Fenix. Love it.

Love It So Far!

Love it, still trying to figure out the battery use as it seems to drain about 10% a day even with making pulse ox manual and disabling sounds.

Great Multi-sport Hiking Watch With A Few Caveats

So far I am happy with the solar fenix 8 which I purchased for multisport and hiking activities as well as for use when I'm doing work in shallow water. It replaced a fenix 7. The watch has been working well and the solar capability definitely extends battery life. It had a bit more of a learning curve than my other garmin watches, but that has been OK. I can't complain because I knew it in advance, but it would be nice if they had a smaller version for people with small wrists. I will likely change the wristband...the one that came with it is causing some skin irriation, which didn't happen with my previous watches.

Fenix 8 47mm Solar Sapphire

Made the switch from Apple Watch Ultra 2. If you’re looking for more better life, and better training metrics, it’s well worth it. I run GPS activities every day and track strength training daily and I’m getting 12-13 days with the 47mm Sapphire Solar. Much better than the 1.5 days on my Ultra 2. I was deep in the Apple ecosystem and it took me a while to make the switch, glad I did.

Really Good Features A Ton Of Things You Can Chang

Got this watch after having Phoenix 7S Seems like an overall good watch

Learning Curve

Getting to know all the functions has a steep learning curve. App not the most intuitive (for me). The more I understand the more I like the watch. Wish I could get all the health functions working, but I'm sure I will in time. Over all very happy with the watch.

Love It!

I bought few weeks ago, still learning all features! Great, love it!

Great Features

Great product so far the only thing the bugs me is the speaker, not loud enough

Great Update

I upgraded from the Fenix 7 and it has been a nice and smooth transition. Still discovering new things

Simple But Great

I bought this about a month ago and it really meets all my needs. Years ago I transitioned from Apple Watch to a Garmin Fenix 6s. I liked the simplicity of the watch face, but I wasn’t a big fan of the size and only 9 days of battery life life (although it was better than the one day of battery life from Apple). I wanted the 47mm as it was a good in between size for my wrist and I’ll say that I’m really happy with the size. The watch has all the apps I need for my daily activities which is daily walking, strength training, HIIT, and hiking. The map works great and one thing I do appreciate compared to the 6s is the touch screen and being able to swipe to navigate through menus. I know it’s a first world problem, but is very convenient. Overall, I just like the simplicity of this watch and not having all the extras that come with Apple or the super brilliant screen of the other watches in the Fenix series.

Very Nice

This has been a nice upgrade from the instinct 2x. I wish it had stealth mode but I know there are other options for that. The maps for navigation have been a nice upgrade.

47mm Amoled Fenix 8

Bought a little while ago and very happy with its performance! 1 charge in and the battery is great! Tried the Solar version but am loving the AMOLED display with the bright colors. The face has all the features I need at a glance.

I bought my Fenix 8 in replacement Fenix 3 and I’m so satisfied with it, this new model is powered with a lot fixtures that improve performance and day training.

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
