    I love this watch. This is my 4th garmin watch and the accuracy of the metrics compared to my last one is thrilling. The bright display is great to have especially in the water.

    I loved the advanced metrics, however the app was not fun to use. I didnt like how my phone didn’t automatically connect and how I need to have my phone around to see certain things

    I had a forerunner 965, which I loved and used every day. After using for a while, I found aesthetically it didn’t always go with my clothing, so I saw the fenix 8 in soft gold. I do love this watch, for how classy it looks and its functionality.
