Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

I bought this for a daily wear watch that would track my swim laps, but I like it for so much more. The watch and Garmin app have helped me track my swims, bike rides, and workouts, as well as track my calorie burn and consumption, and has helped in my weight loss and overall health. I also love the sleep, heart rate, and blood ox monitoring. The resolution and brightness are awesome and I honestly use the built-in flashlight every day! Awesome watch.

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!

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).

After doing a ton of research I zoomed in on the Garmin Feniz 8 AMOLED Sapphire 47mm. For golfers like me this baby has all the bells and whistles of the Garmin Approach S70. But wait,,,the Fenix 8 also has all the sports, fitness and health features of the Garmin line and can receive AND make phone calls as well as text messages. If you're a golfer and want to use your GPS watch as an all purpose smart watch this is the ticket.

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.

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.

I’m very happy with this purchase! I originally owned an Epix Gen 2 and decided to make the upgrade. The user interface gets a great upgrade on the Fenix 8 and is much more responsive!

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

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!

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

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

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

Great performance, battery life, and fitness tracking

I love this watch. It is a Price increase from the Fenix 7 which i had before. I would say definitely say to garmin users the features i enjoy on this watch: Phone calling. when im using my phone and someone is calling, i pick up on my watch to multitask. Activity Tracking: while activity is tracking you can go back to your home screen and continue to use the other features. I know on my fenix 7 once i was tracking an activity, i couldn't really go back and use other feature once the tracking was active.

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

The watch is just super. Lightweight, lots of functions. I like it. The charge without a solar panel lasts 2 weeks.

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.

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.

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!
