I’ve been using the Garmin Fenix 8 AMOLED Sapphire DLC for a few weeks now, and I can confidently say this is one of the best smartwatches I’ve ever owned. The AMOLED display is stunning—bright, crisp, and vibrant, making it easy to read even in direct sunlight.

The Fenix 8 is great in every situation. As a smartwatch, it does everything I need it to. As a fitness watch, it does everything. It maps, it tracks every metric imaginable and it looks good doing it. I use it for running, strength training, hiking and hunting. It does everything well. After switching to Garmin from Apple, there’s no way I could go back. Battery life is crazy good even when using GPS and every sensor. The display is very bright and looks great. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to track their fitness levels and overall health. This watch does it all. You will not be disappointed in it.

Love my Garmin Fenix 8 Sapphire! Stunning AMOLED display, super accurate GPS, and heart rate tracking. Over 100 sports modes, plus new dive features. Voice commands and calls are handy. Battery lasts weeks. Rugged, stylish titanium design. Beats Fenix 7 with brighter screen and better waterproofing.

Upgraded from a Fenix 5X and I enjoy the new features on the watch. So far I’ve not had any issues with the watch. I specifically use it for running, mountain biking and road biking. Works great and the battery is just as good as the Fenix 5X.

This is an outstanding watch. I was using Apple Watch Altra but this is better in terms of GPS accuracy and battery life is significantly better, Give you a run for your money.

Absolutely love this watch, it’s super smart, the battery lasts a really long time, and it is super durable!

I've been using the Garmin Fenix 8 Pro for several months and find if extremely reliable. The addition of a bright AMOLED screen finally make this device great for indoor and outdoor use, all without sacrificing battery life. In addition to this, a built-in light makes this device a perfect companion for practically all occasions.

I came from a Fenix 5x and this is leaps and bounds ahead of it. Wrist HR is great, Activity tracking is fantastic, smart features rival those of phone brands and the battery life somewhere around 20-30 days depending on how much i use the GPS functions. Closer to 20 days since I walk for about 1.5 hours daily using the GPS.

writing this review after getting frustrated with whoop subscription , apple watch letting me down with only single band accuracy for runs and only basic health info. Garmin Fenix 8 is by far most accurate watch in terms of all data , maintaining 95-98% . while apple watch at 89-94% accuracy . Compatible with strava , has offline maps with topo , and mic , speakerphone . ECG app is not FDA approved . NASA just partnered up with Garmin and planning Fenix 8 for astronauts . Battery life ? well you will forget charging

Love the battery life of this watch. 28 days is amazing. I’m an avid outdoorsman and really appreciate the integrated maps and improved navigation features

Watch face is bright even in direct sunlight, the AMOLED display uses more battery than my old garmin Fenix 7X, but it still lasts 16 days of.battery life.

I returned for the same watch but the 47mm. I want it more for golf and I thought the 51mm and band width would become an issue during the summer heat. The 47 mm seems to be a perfect size, very light weight and the face size is perfect. For the 47mm I’d give it a 5 star. Just got the Garmin Range finder z30 which will Bluetooth to the Garmin Fenix 8 watch.

I have many watches, but this is my favorite one for work. I’m actually a firefighter and allows me to roam around the mountains without getting lost. Best thing about this watch, that it assisted me with saving one of my firefighters when he went down on a fire assignment. I had no GPS on hand and this watch allow me to give coordinates to air attack and dispatch a helicopter to my location. I was able to short haul my guy to safety.

One of the best watches I ever owned. Durable and sleek looking

This watch is amazing. The battery life is insane how long it last. The fit and finish is above all other watches in its class. I would 100% recommend this watch if you are thinking about buying one.

Fenix 8 Amoled, it is best in class and it fulfills all my requirements

II'm in love with it. I had to skip a mortgage payment and purchase it—one of the best decisions I have ever made. I love the watch, though.

It’s my second garment wow so impressed with this new one so many features great battery life still learning so many compliments. Love it going hiking in a couple weeks. Can’t wait to use the GPS.
