This is my second Garmin watch and it is best and worthed

I have heard the new Fenix 8 had some issues and was glitchy. For the two months I have had mine it has preformed flawless. A large learning curve but the more time you spend, the more worth the watch has.

I'm extremely happy with my purchase. Has all of the functions I wanted and more. The ability to change the faces is a plus.

Everything functions superbly. For a larger watch its surprisingly light

The best Watch, my brother enjoy a lot his Watch. Has more quality thanks Apple or Samsung Watches

A 51mm display is more like 36mm display everything else is garbage you have to go into a dark room to see your watch time or buy a telescope because you will never see your time complete garbage

Somewhat easier to use than the early Fenix 7. New UI is neat and I like the phone integration. However, be aware that the software is buggy. I've reported several issues directly to Garmin. They are extraordinarily receptive in acknowledging there are still glitches, and they report your findings directly to the tech team. It's a very interesting process. However, they are charging a premium for this product, not paying me, and I feel like a beta tester. I've never had a Garmin device where I was actively helping to identify glitches. If this product was not ready to launch, then they should have delayed launch or offered a discount to beta testers. I will likely keep it but there is a possibility I'll return it and hold onto my 7 until the kinks in the 8 are worked out. That said, it was also a hard decision to get this one over the AMOLED version. However, everyone I speak with who has the solar version is happy with it, and many, including reps at Garmin that have one, feel this version is the better one at this time. Easier to see in all conditions and much better battery life are both important factors. For me, charging every 25 days rather than every 4 days was the biggest swaying factor. Lastly, I dont understand why you can hear people over the speaker but apparently not music. Maybe I'm missing something. That's an odd limitation.
