    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.

    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.

    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.

    Great watch, personally love the size. Got it to keep track of heart rate and ECG. Really love the fact that the battery last almost a month instead of having to charger daily from other ones i have had. Only thingi don't like is the band. But already looking to replace it with an aftermarket one.

    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

    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.

    51mm watch is to large to Golf with.

    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.
