Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have been very pleased with the Fenix 8. I upgraded from the Garmin Epix Pro and have also had the Fenix 6 and Fenix 7. This one is my favorite. The display is great and the screen size is bigger than the Epix. It feels less chunky. I like the new operating system as well. The battery life is comparable to the Epix and I typically charge the watch once every 7 - 10 days (averaging 1 to 1.5 hours of GPS time on most days of the week).

Fantastic watch! It managed to replace my Apple Watch Ultra 2. It’s such a professional watch geared toward serious athletes and I love it. The 47 mm is the perfect size in my opinion and the battery life is great, lasting 7 days.

So, I upgraded from a fenix 7(not the Pro). When I saw the fenix 8, there were a lot of features that intrigued me so I researched a lot about it and watched YouTube reviews. Although I originally purchased the amoled version, I traded it back for the solar. I personally like the display of the MIP screen and love the battery life even more. Definitely have enjoyed the new layout and new features such as the torch which wasn’t on my fenix 7. Definitely happy with my purchase.

This is my go to for my runs and walks. Battery life is a major plus! I run and walk 4 miles a day, 6 days a week. GPS is accurate. I also use Oura ring and the 2 is always different when it comes sleep, body battery, readiness and activity scores. But, Heart rate and HRV are almost identical. Durability and waterproof is outstanding!

I upgraded to this and have been using it for a few months now. I absolutely love it. The battery life is great and it’s fairly easy to use. The watch is tough to and has made it through work and working out. I’m excited to take it to the backwoods this year on a hike and check it out.

It is pricey, but so good. It looks great - both rugged and refined (especially with the Portal face). This watch inspires me to do something every day - to get up and work out in whatever way I can - and it guides how hard I push myself. It is awesome to have the built-in LED torch, sapphire glass, and titanium bezel! Another great style choice: I love that it is round and the 1.4" screen is awesome!

Love it so far! Also bought Garmin smart index weight and blood pressure devices. Great Garmin eco-system!

I just switch my fenix 7 , I'm very super impressed, fenix8 it's very superior ,battery life excellent.

Easily the coolest and most capable watch I’ve ever owned! And definitely the most expensive! But so far worth it!!

Awesome! Used it for everything.. Love how you can adjust font size.

I have both the Garmin Fenix 8 and an Apple Watch Ultra 2. I have had the ultra 2 for awhile, but have never cared for apple’s “squircle” shape of the watches. The round face of the Garmin gives it a more normal watch look. The 47mm face is more than enough for me, but I did get an aftermarket strap because the 22mm strap that comes with the watch is a little small for my liking. The Fenix 8 is my first Garmin watch, and I will say from the get go it feels more rugged than the Ultra 2. I am not generally rough with my devices, but I was mending fence lines when I first got the Fenix and it held up without getting scratched, something I can’t say for the Ultra 2. The metrics you get from Garmin are more in depth and are definitely geared toward the active person. I am little bit of a data nerd and appreciate the depth of information it provides. The Garmin is more of a sport watch with smart capabilities where the Apple Watch is a smart watch with some smart capabilities. The battery life is great even with an always on display. I easily get the 7 days as suggested, and this could be extended for longer hiking trips if you turn off the AOD. The AMOLED screen is bright and easy to read. The number of apps is not as extensive as the Apple Watch, but there were only 3 that i regularly used on my Apple Watch anyway. All in all this a great watch for someone who is active and uses their watch more for monitoring of those activities.

I absolutely love this thing. It tells me what I need to know and does a pretty good job at it. It's very durable and rugged, and it looks good to to take out on date night, with the correct band of course. I highly suggest this to the athlete/outdoors person who wants a durable watch, long lasting battery and something you can dress up. No complaints!

Great Watch long battery life keeps up with heart rate sleep everything you need at your wrist

I’ve been wearing a fenix 5x plus for at least 6 years and thought it was great. This watch is a massive upgrade!!! First off the display is crystal clear. It’s capable of way more than I’ll ever utilize, it will take me awhile to work through all the features and menus. I’m really happy with my purchase.

Garmin is known for their GPS technology. The Fenix 8 is another in a great line of writ worn GPS activity trackers. Great battery life, great GPS accuracy, and great wellness tracking metrics. Highly recommend for outdoor enthusiasts and athletes.

Awesome size for golf. Battery life has been great. Almost 3 weeks. I do shut it off at night. Main purpose for watch is for everyday and golf. Also purchased a Garmin range finder z30 that will Bluetooth to the watch.

This is a game changer for me as I a huge watch person and I refused to wear any electronic on my body. I am enjoying every bit of it and I am excited to use it for swimming soon.

This watch is excellent it helps me track so much information for my running. I like that every morning it has a recovery summary and daily suggestion. The gps seems better than it did on my fenix 6 too

Excellent watch. I had many fintess watches from fitbit to the most recent galaxy watch 7 and 7 pro and the fenix 8 is by far superior as a fitness watch

This watch has a battery that lasts more than a week and has features that make it perfect for my hobbies of golf and fishing.
