Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love this watch! Has all the features I was looking for an more, even got it during a great sale! I was worried about size as I have a small wrist but it looks and feels great!

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.

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

It’s not as great as people exaggerate. Software is very buggy.

Love it… fits perfectly and tracks everything I needed for it to track.

I've only had for a little over 2 weeks. Since I updated it, it will freeze all the time. When I update my spotify downloads, it will freeze. When I connect it to garmin express to download maps, it keeps saying device not connected. For a watch that cost this much it should perform better. The apple watch ultra is so much better if not only for the mediocre battery. I'm returning it today and I'm never buying any garmin products again.

Love love this watch!! I had an Apple Watch switched to the garmin fenix and have no regrets!!! And the clarity on the screen is great!!

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

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.

From apple watch to garmin, the size is perfect, it does have a lot of different settings and tracking abilities and do not get overwhelmed it will all come to you. it for sure helps with my workouts and trainings and i picked a very versatile one for all activities.

This is the first watch that has not had to charge every 12 to 24 hour, I only need to charge it 10 to 12 days. It is beautiful and very sleek. Reliable and works great.

Premium, rugged, and powerful — the best multisport watch I’ve owned, with unbeatable battery life and durability.”

Really great watch. I have a Forerunner 245 Music that does NOT have touch and that was a pretty important feature for me. I didn't end up going with the Fenix solar etc. because I liked the size of the 43. I am F27 (in case that's important) but it's been great to take to the gym and on my long runs. Battery life isn't as great as the Forerunner (but I will admit I'm using more features ie. pulse ox).

Is perfect for my activities like running and swmmng. Very accurate in distances and speed, really like the map location and is very light and comfortable.

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!

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.

Love my NEW Garmin watch. I had an Apple Watch prior to this but night and day difference from being able to read the screen to all the different options. Plus the battery life is incredible!!! I am glad that I made the change. I get so many compliments.

The ultimate fitness watch for enthusiasts without going overly pricey. Made use of best buy trade in program to make the price more affordable. i am hopeful newer features that improve the performance of the watch will be released.

Very nice watch, has all the perfect features needed, and a great battery life.
