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

Great upgrade from the fenix 3 that I've used for years. The fenix 8 is packed with some amazing features and the amoled display offers a crisp and clear picture. Primary usage for tracking workouts, hiking, and utilizing the GPS features for work and hunting. If you've been thinking on upgrading your Garmin watch, the fenix 8 will meet all of your needs.

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.

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.

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.

The Garmin Fenix 8 AMOLED is a great all-around smartwatch. It fits really well on my wrist and feels comfortable for every kind of activity — whether I’m running, hiking, cycling, or just wearing it every day. The AMOLED screen looks sharp and bright, and all the features are super useful. Overall, it’s a solid watch for all activities and I’m happy with it.

After using an Apple Watch for over a decade, I like this one. My Apple Watch's ability to monitor my pulse rate when working out is always a challenge for me.The Garmin watch has now resolved the issue.Additionally, the run's accuracy is superior to that of the Apple Watch.I also enjoy the statistics on the watch and the Garmin Connect after working out.

I bought this watch for weight training and calorie tracking and it has exceeded my expectations. You can set your workout in the app, send to the waych and it guides you through everything including rest periods! It is so simple to set treadmill running intervals directly from your wrist. The battery life is so long you rarely have to charge it.

Does a great job with the functions described. Fits comfortably and only complaint is that to look at what options are available for the nickel contacts on the back of the watch if you are allergic. Battery life is insanely good.

This is my 4th Garmin watch and I am blown away by how far the technology embedded in the Fenix 8 has reached.
All Garmin watches I have had have been solid and reliable products. I walk, swim, hike, sleep and shower with them and have never had any issues whatsoever - battery life is excellent, syncing with the Garmin Connect app is smooth and the watches withstand the rigors of 24/7 non-stop use for years (I had the Fenix 5X Plus previously with zero problems during the four years of continuous use).
I highly recommend this watch.

Excellent watch. My first one. Battery life is awesome! Had to watch some videos on how to use it but once you understand how it operates, it’s pretty easy. Very happy with my purchase!
