Great Watch
5 out of 5 stars
D Steven F - 10 days ago

Upgraded from my Fenix 7 to get the full color display. Much more vibrant and readable, with excellent battery life (about 3 weeks with moderate GPS use). As with prior models, it is a bit of a chore to get the menus, display fields, and the watch face customized to your liking, but after that, it just works, with excellent functionality. Main hesitation in recommending it is just the price. Unless you use the microphone/speaker functions (which I do only occasionally) the main upgrade from recent models is the display and battery life.

I love it. I use it everyday. I charge it once a weekend but I think I could charge it once every 2 weeks which is a total upgrade from my apple watch that I had to charge every night. I don’t use the sleep app but there’s so many features that I don’t even realize how useful it is!
Absolutely worth the upgrade

I had the Epix before and it was a great sports accessory. This does all that and more. The battery life is the most noticeable immediate difference. I use this for everything, although apparently I need to sleep more and I am really out of shape ... lol! This watch will work for any stats geek whilst still being popular with the weekend warrior who likes to smash out activities and track them.
Exceeds expectations.

Every feature about this watch, I love. There’s two features that I wish it did have. One; I wish it had a “Find My” iPhone feature. Two;would be the rucking fitness activity. Otherwise the battery life exceeds my expectations, the fit of the 51 mm is amazing, and I am continually impressed by the durability of this thing. I’ve whacked it several times and I thought each whack was going to leave a permanent patina, but so far nothing has happened.
Battery life is amazing!

The watch is light, unobtrusive and comfortable. It does an excellent job tracking my exercise and sleep. It is much more accurate tracking my swims than my previous Fenix 5

Coming from an Apple Watch Ultra I wanted two things. Longer battery life and better analytics when tracking workouts. The fenix 8 does those both of those things very well. I am so used to having to charge my watch every night and it took me a while to remember this one doesn’t need it for at least two weeks! I have also pleasantly enjoyed the flashlight, not something I thought I would use as much as I have been. I thought I had made a mistake getting the 51mm considering my wrist aren’t the biggest but it does not look cumbersome or heavy on my wrist.
Always impressed with Garmin products!

Unreliable with poor software

Possibly a good hardware with a very poor software. Consistently showing different data on the watch and connect up. If you cannot trust or rely on it, why would you use it for? Support was very unhelpful…for 2 months coming back with the same response: we are still checking
Garmin Fenix 8 is a Great Companion

Having been using a much less expensive yet highly functional athletic smart watch, I was extremely pleased with the light weight and user friendly interface of the Garmin Fenix 8. I have been using the watch now for around a month now and I find customizing watch faces and setting other shortcuts to be very intuitive. I am especially fond of the seamless communication of the watch with my Strava account. I didn't think I'd use the watch's flashlight as much as I do, but I typically use this over my iPhone's flashlight. It's definitely worth the steep price tag!
Worth the upgrade from the 7x pro saphire

Everything the 7x pro saphire solar had plus the additional voice features! In my opinion this can be a lifesaver on a mountain bike. I have received phone calls through the watch and used the watch voice command features and love them! the built in voice features save so much time from scrolling through the menus when you can just tell it to start tracking a run or take your heartrate, show blood oxygen level etc... I setup the voice and phone features as button shortcuts to make it even faster (they are not setup as shortcuts by default). The only downfall Garmin still has now is the charging port is their proprietary 4 pin cable. Just one extra cable you have to bring with you on long trips. I am consistently getting about 12 days of heavy use per charge out of this watch.

Great alternative to Apple Watch Ultra, or any other fitness watch. This is the do-it-all watch that really does what it says. Only issue I have had is that bank support for Garmin Pay is not super wide.

The Fenix 8 Solar Sapphire is a big upgrade from my old Fenix 5X Plus. Bigger display, solar charging, more accurate GPS, lighter weight and more features. The only thing I wish was improved was the price point.

I bought this watch to replace my 6.5 year old Fenix 5. I have only been using it for a weekend, but so far so good. The heart rate monitor seems much more accurate, and the insights are way deeper and more personalized. I also like how much customization is possible with this watch. Lastly, the screen clarity is truly incredible. As with all Garmins, the battery life and waterproof attributes are also on point. Highly recommend!

Great watch with frustrating HR accuracy with some activities.

First, I love the look of the watch, the build quality, the battery life, the GPS accuracy and the customizability. It's come a long way since my first Fenix 3 HR+. I do find that with uphill skiing and rock climbing the heart rate is really inaccurate. I'll be doing a tempo effort and my HR is 110-120. If I wear a chest strap it'll be where I expect. I think it has to do with the wrist movement involved. My Apple watch seemed much more accurate for HR the same activities. But, the GPS would add 1,000ft of climbing that didn't actually happen, the battery wouldn't last a full day skiing and style is pretty bad. I'll be sticking with the Fenix for now, I just wish that HR Sensor was a little better.

Garmin has really got a great watch here and I am so happy I got one. I love the sensors and notice a difference when it's reading my HR or OX or counting my reps; though it's not perfect, it allows you to manually input your reps if it missed counting any. I love the water ejection feature, so when I'm playing music using the built-in speaker and I got under water; I use this feature to. lear out the water and get the sound quality back. I can use the my wallet whenever the tap is used in stores. I love the flashlight that's adjustable and has a red light (this is great when I'm navigating around my bedroom and don't want to wake my wife with a bright light). The touch screen is great, but it's struggled a little when I'm using gloves. Press and hold the top left button to activate the voice command or "Listening" feature and be specific with what you're trying to access. If you've seen how it's worded on the watch and you want to short-cut getting there, then use the word or title when using the voice command or "listening". I use this wat h everyday and it gives me good feedback on how I'm sleeping and the quality of sleep; and it gives suggestions on my "body battery," which I've felt is pretty accurate. When I don't feel rested my watch also agrees and shows me a graph or some numbers on where I'm at physically and if I should workout/ train or recover for the day. one issue I've had are my headphone don't like to connect to my watch. My headphone connect to everything else with ease, but not this watch. My guess is this is the Bluetooth feature not working very well. Overall, I'm super happy with Garmin and my new watch.
