Flashier than expected
First of all, get the smallest size. Medium and large ones are humongous, the 43 mm fits already like the largest watch I’ve ever worn. Its difficult to try on the display models, I know, but its a must! Second, when the device is turned off, the buttons are dead. They are “induction buttons” that only come alive when the watch is powered on. When you try pushing the buttons on a display model that ran out of its battery, the buttons will feel terrible. They feel really nice and also give haptic feedback when power is on, so keep that in mind. The light is by far the most amazingly useful and crowd pleasing feature somehow! Very fun to use. It came as a shocker when I found out that this watch also doubles as a legit dive computer because it shares the same sensor as the descent Mk3. I had no idea what a high end product I was purchasing!

Intuitive Feedback and Features
I loved my old Fenix 5s, but was excited to upgrade to the 8 for the added features of sleep analysis and answering calls from my watch. This was no small upgrade. The features in the 8 are far superior and I can't imagine using any other watch. The ability to use workouts right from the watch and have a running coach right on my wrist is a game changer when it comes to upgrading my fitness routine. The sleep analysis and spO2 monitoring are added features I was really looking forward to having and the total body battery is a great insight to how my health is overall. Forget Apple watches and Fitbits, this has both types of wrist-based tech beat by a longshot.

Love this watch
Love the features of which there are many. The only thing that doesn't really work for me is the sleep tracking.

Beautiful - A Watch I Truly Love
My Garmin fēnix 8 (43 mm) is absolutely beautiful, and it does everything I want and need in a smartwatch. A few years ago, my workplace wellness program offered points for healthy habits, and I redeemed those points for a Garmin scale. That’s when I first fell in love with Garmin Connect. The data, insights, and overall ecosystem just made sense to me. Later, while using an Apple Watch, I found myself missing Garmin, so I switched back and bought the Garmin Venu 2. It was a great watch, but I still had a few specific needs that weren’t fully met at the time. What I wanted most: • A watch that stays dark while I sleep • Accurate nap tracking • A screen that does not light up during candlelight yoga or quiet moments Without even having to ask, the newer Garmin models do all of this—and they do it well. The fēnix 8 feels intuitive, respectful of my environment, and aligned with my lifestyle. Whether I’m sleeping, resting, practicing yoga, or staying active during the day, it adapts seamlessly without distracting me. This watch supports my health, my routines, and my peace—and that’s exactly what I was looking for.

Great tool for the outdoors
I have been using Gramind devices like forever. This Fenix is pretty good I suppose. Battery is the best thing, last about a week with my daily workouts. I feel the health aspects could be better. Like sleep I don't feel is accurate as in deep vs REM. But otherwise it gets the job done for me.

Garmin Fēnix 8: Stylish Performance for Running
I absolutely love this watch. The size is perfect—it’s small enough to fit my wrist comfortably while still looking stylish and fashionable. It seamlessly supports all my activities, including running, walking, strength training, and yoga, with especially impressive running metrics that keep me motivated and informed. Beyond workouts, the Garmin Fēnix 8 excels at everyday wellness tracking. It accurately monitors sleep, stress levels, and daily steps, giving me a clear picture of my overall health. Functional, comfortable, and beautiful—this watch has quickly become an essential part of my daily routine. Love, love, love it!

The Watch That Keeps on Giving
I upgraded from the Fenix 5x to the 8 and WOWZA what a difference a couple of years can make! I am loving not only the data and interface options but the customization features, morning and evening reports, and the accuracy of tracking. Nothing beats a Garmin product. And the battery life is unbeatable

Wow what a watch!
I bought this a few weeks ago and I was not disappointed. It is quality everything. Features that I didn't think I'd use, I do all of the time. I rarely look at my garmin connect app on my phone anymore. It is expensive, but I wanted to treat myself. This is the 4th garmin product I've had in 20 years-I may not use all of the apps to the full extent, but I don't do that on my phone either. I am enjoying learning how to use it, and happy with new discoveries each day
