    Great watch. Battery life is great. Some watch functions do not work seamlessly with apple. Watch faces are decent. Having built in solar is a bonus to keep watch charged.

    Overall the best part about this watch is the battery life. Other than that the user interface could use some improvements for ease of use. The other things that I like are the ability to tap to pay (good replacement for Apple Pay), speaker, onboard maps, and flashlight. Lastly, I like that it allows you to track an array of physical activities such as indoor rock climbing which I do regularly. I recommend this watch but I will say that the thing that I like the least is the price.

    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.

    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

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
