Be limitless. The fēnix 8 multisport GPS smartwatch is built for serious athletes and outdoor adventurers who want to push beyond their limits. It features a 1.4” solar charged display with scratch-resistant sapphire lens, durable titanium bezel and powerful built-in LED flashlight for after-dark visibility. A built-in speaker and mic enable you to make and take calls from your wrist when your watch is paired to your smartphone. Power up your body’s performance, endurance and resistance to injury with targeted strength training plans and a full range of sport-specific workouts. Performance insights help manage your exertion and build stamina, while training readiness features show how much recovery time you need between workouts, based on 24/7 health and wellness monitoring of heart rate, respiration, stress, sleep and more (data presented is intended to be a close estimation of metrics tracked). Take to the trails with built-in ABC sensors and preloaded TopoActive maps. The dynamic round-trip routing feature helps simplify the planning of your runs or rides — letting you set your target distance and receive turn-by-turn directions that adjust to get you back to your start on schedule. Enjoy extended off-grid adventures with solar power providing up to 149 hours of battery life in GPS mode (assumes continuous use for entire period in 50,000 lux conditions). Plus, a 40-meter dive rating and leakproof metal buttons let you reach new depths of adventure. Additional features include music storage, Garmin Pay contactless payments (with a supported country and payment network), smart notifications (compatible smartphone required) and more

Awesome watch…….. kinda!
I want to state that I like, almost everything, about this watch. Aesthetics, functionality, and everything in between. I won’t go into the details because if you’re looking into this watch I’m sure you already know what it has to offer when it comes to features and such. I can confirm I’ve had no issues with lagging or weird bugs associated with this watch after its launch, but mine is up to date with the latest software update. Now, my big problem comes with the battery life of this watch. Is it way better than the Apple Watch Ultras battery life? Yes is it better than the Fenix 8 Amoled?……. BARELY (maybe not I might be switching)! That’s terrible isn’t it? I’ve tried all the settings other users have recommended on both the garmin forum and Reddit platforms and I am getting approximately 10% drain a day, (WITH NO GPS ACTIVITIES). I chose the MIP solar version because I work outside all day, in SW Florida, so I figured if anyone can utilize the solar feature then I could, and since it’s always sunny and bright here I would almost never have an issue with the MIP screen. Battery consumption would be minimal for me….. so I thought. Now, this wouldn’t be a big deal if the watch wasn’t 1,200 dollars. Honestly it wouldn’t be so upsetting if Garmin wouldn’t boast “29 in smartwatch and 40 plus with solar.” I will most likely be returning this and trying the Amoled… and if that sucks then I’ll be sticking with my Instinct that’s been a beast for me. I hope this helps someone.

Worth every penny
One of the best watches I have ever owned. There are so many activities it offers and using the garment connect you have so many options for watch faces, and other apps.

Great battery life, reliable, but pricey
Overall the best part about this watch is the battery life. Other than that the user interface could use some improvements for ease of use. The other things that I like are the ability to tap to pay (good replacement for Apple Pay), speaker, onboard maps, and flashlight. Lastly, I like that it allows you to track an array of physical activities such as indoor rock climbing which I do regularly. I recommend this watch but I will say that the thing that I like the least is the price.
