I absolutely love this smartwatch! It’s stylish, easy to use, and packed with helpful features. The battery life lasts surprisingly long, and the display is bright and clear even in daylight. I mainly use it for fitness tracking, and the heart rate monitor and step counter are very accurate. Notifications sync perfectly with my phone, and I can even reply to texts on the go. It’s lightweight and comfortable to wear all day. Definitely worth the price!

I had my Garmin watch a few months, put your app from Garmin on your phone and that’s the easiest way to set it up then you can figure out what you wanna do with it, it’ll map where you’re running or riding your bike, and it lasts up to 10 days the bigger watch goes like 30 some days that was too big on my wrist. I had to get the smaller one but 10 to 12 days that that’s pretty good so far so good with my watch.

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.

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.

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.
