Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve been with Polar for the last 18+ years I truly love the watches… BUT i always wanted a Garmin watch, Well, finally did it and let me tell you I I’m love with this watch! Amazing in every aspect, battery life, display, apps, design!. I’m still learning this watch be cause it has a lot a features! It was expensive but honestly I think it’s worth it. It took me 1-2 days to get used to the size and weight be cuz I have the 51mm. But now everything is good =D. My only complain is the SOS is not free… I’m hoping they will change that.. I understand the phone subscription, but SOS needs to be free. Other than that AMAZING watch!

The watch is absolutely great. I was a bit skeptical about spending so much on a watch but after using it and going a week without charging it and tracking all my runs and cycling workouts it was worth every penny !

Very in depth exercise watch has good recommendations with coaching features not sure if I need the cellular feature, 8 days battery with always on screen is why I bought it

Watch has so many features i havent been able to use all of them for having the watch for a few weeks already. Battery life lasts a long time more than my Samsung. This has more power and is alot brighter. The band is slightly uncomfortable, so make sure you buy a pack of the silicone or velcro straps

Absolutely love this watch! I previously use the Apple Watch Ultras. My main annoyance with the Apple Watches were the touch controls not always working properly. The buttons on the Garmin make it more simpler to control. The touch isn’t as “smooth” looking as the Apple Watch, but the buttons come in handy. I also like the charge lasts over a week. Of all the electronics I’ve purchased, this is definitely one of my favorites.

This watch has met everything and more of what I was expecting. Love the functions and aesthetics of it.

If you are tired of fragile smartwatches that you have to baby or charge every single night, this 51mm model is a total game-changer. It is built like an absolute tank, the screen is massive and highly visible, and the battery life is measured in weeks, not hours. It is definitely a premium investment, but if you want a rugged, heavy-duty tool that can handle daily abuse without flinching, it is worth every penny.

Great watch, premium feel and function. Love it. Tons of free and cheap watch faces, makes it even more fun to wear. 51mm is big enough for my wrist.

I expected much more from this product considering the high price tag. It feels like I overpaid for what it actually delivers. Not fully satisfied.

By far the best watch you can buy! Worth every penny. Owned a fenix 5x and loved it and adding the touch screen makes it the perfect but durable watch. Battery life puts Apple Watch to shame I only charge once a week and that’s because I use the always on display and maximum brightness. The gps mode especially while Golfing has been amazing. Yes it is big and heavy but for bigger wrists it’s perfect and never have to worry about damage to the screen thanks to the sapphire. I also bought the titanium metal band and it’s such an eye catcher everyone asks about it.

The Garmin Fenix 8 Pro is a powerhouse for serious adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts, offering a near-indestructible build with dive-ready water resistance. One of the most striking features is the bright AMOLED display, which remains legible even in direct sunlight, providing clear visuals for its top-tier mapping functionalities. Battery life remains outstanding, lasting for weeks on a single charge, which is essential for extended backcountry endeavors. The device also introduces satellite messaging and cellular connectivity, providing an on-body communication redundancy for emergencies, though it functions best for critical messaging rather than fluid, conversational texting. Ultimately, it stands out as the ultimate watch for adventure enthusiasts, combining elite performance tracking with the resilience required for the toughest environments.

I've had this watch for over 6 months now and I was really wondering how It would hold up...So far its great! the bezel gets scratches from everyday use. I'm a Mechanic and don't treat this thing as well as I should. The Saphire screen is practically bulletproof. This watch does an amazing amount of things. Just like any new leap in tech, I cant imagine not having this watch on me every day. I can justify the cost because it has all the health monitoring, Exercise activities. Plus dive Computer! Which works better than any other non air integrated computers that I have used. It has the In-Reach features for emergency response. It has detailed maps for GPS use and tracking. All Those things wrapped into one piece of tech that fits on my wrist justifies the high price. The battery lasts about a week and a half with normal use. If you use the GPS and other power hungry features its a little less...but still Excellent. My favorite functions are the Dive computer, the Altimeter, and to answer phone calls and talk via the watch, The Flashlight is surprisingly useful as well. Negatives: bezel scratches easily, but the screen doesn't have a single scratch You really have to learn how to use this watch to get the features to work exactly how you would expect. it takes a little while to get everything set up. but with a feature dense piece of tech like this its totally expected. I would definitely buy this again.

This watch has been awesome so far. It took a little bit to get used to how many menu's and features are available. I can't lie, it can be a tad bit overwhelming at first. But I promise if you sit down for an hour and practice going through the buttons and menu's, then it becomes super easy to use. I love having the flashlight on the watch for when I'm doing things in the dark and don't have my phone or a flashlight handy. So far, my typical battery life seems to be about 12-15 days, depending on what I am doing. Originally, I thought I wanted the solar one, but the battery life on this is just fine.

Ive had my nee Garmin watch for a month now and i like the durability and battery power it has. Ive gone a solid week before having to charge my watch. Still getting used to the workout options it has, but will explore soon.

I really like the size and build of the 51 mm Phoenix eight Pro. The watch is a beast when it comes to tracking exercises as well as battery life the watch is even great just for regular use and where.

The watch screen, interface and battery life incredibly excellent. This watch is classic and has great utility

The new Garmin Fenix 8 Pro AMOLED Sapphire GPS watch is a must have and simply amazing! I purchased a Fenix 7 Pro Sapphire from Best Buy and enjoyed it. My latest purchase of the new Garmin Fenix 8 AMOLED Sapphire GPS watch from Best Buy is the best watch ever. I cannot begin to tell how superior the new Fenix 8 is such as a built in EKG and InReach capabilities are paramount if you are going any location where cellular service is limited or nonexistant since the InReach capability is satellite based and allows you to contact help in the event of an emergency or even to contact family friends to let them know that you are okay. The other watches on the market cannnot begin to compete with the new Fenix 8 Pro AMOLED Sapphire.

Great watch They do everything I need - steps, heart rate, weather. And the most important - the maps!!! Maps have few very important options: - first of all you can download them to use offline. They are topographic and with a lot of details - the second, very important for me is that you have two options for navigation - build a route and straight line witch is very important when you are in the mid of forest with no roads. The battery holds the charge as promised - 27 days Plus they added Satellite service to this model with is very good as well

Very good display and long battery life but I dislike the subscription of the lte and SOS option. If that’s the focal point of advertising this expensive watch then why should that option be paid for when it comes free with most smart watches. Am returning it

Great long lasting battery and beautiful, clear, bright screen.
