Customer Ratings & Reviews

Outstanding battery life and durability. Does everything I need it to.

Battery life is incredible especially when the sun is out. Reliable activites and so many other great functions you can do.

Great watch. A little heavy on the wrist but easier to see while training.

Awesome and great for everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For the better battery life and outdoor screen reading, this was perfect.

Simply great watch ! If I need to start talking about , I’ll have to write an assay. I have had garmin watches for ever now . And their customer service is awesome.

I bought this watch as a gift for my husband and he loves it! The flashlight on it has been very useful.

Though expensive but it is durable, comfortable and nice on hand.

Got the same watches. One from best buy and the other one from another store. Same watches, big differences in construction. The BestBuy one doesnt let me pay for a watch face, every time i try my bank call me to tell me it is a risky transaction. With the other one is flowless. There also a difference in button vibration feedback. The BB is feeling cheaper or from time to time doesnt vibrate at all. I returned the BB and got an amoled version. Same problems. I think BestBuy without their knoledge is selling fake wathes. There a huge difference between BB Garmin fenix 8 and what i have purchased from another store. The quality build, the design, button functionality...;Something is wrong

I went from AMOLED to the MIP for solar charging, but I do not see the real effect of it despite being out in the sun a lot. Otherwise it's a great watch!!! May be going back to AMOLED though since the battery life was not drastically inferior to the MIP.

Excellent watch but only if you will use all of its features. If youre a multi sport athlete or like to run, walk, joh, mountain bike, walk trails, exercise then this is for you!

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.

Everything functions superbly. For a larger watch its surprisingly light

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.

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.
