SOS and The Garmin Response Center
As our first smartwatch with inReach technology1 for satellite and LTE connectivity, fēnix 8 Pro brings peace of mind to your adventures. Need help? Trigger an interactive SOS message for emergency support from the 24/7-staffed Garmin Response coordination center.

LTE Connectivity
Going for a run? Taking a swim? Leave your phone behind, and use your watch’s LTE connection to exchange messages and make voice calls — plus let friends follow along with LiveTrack location sharing and location check-ins with the on-device Garmin Messenger app. Even get access to weather conditions and forecasts.
Built-in speaker and microphone
Use LTE network connectivity to make and take calls directly from your watch, without carrying your smartphone along. Plus, watch functions can be controlled with phone-free voice commands — or use your smartphone’s voice assistant to respond to text messages and more.

Navigate your adventures by using preloaded TopoActive maps with relief shading — plus built-in maps for golf courses and ski resorts around the world. A dynamic round-trip routing feature offers suggested routes to bring you back to your starting point on time.
