Web ID: 19879629Nice watch
Lots of features but coming from and Apple watch I’m still trying to figure it out. I wish it had a CrossFit and other option for activities. Don’t think there’s one for stationary bike either l, but like I said I’m still trying to figure it out. Wish it would auto detect sleep also.

Apple update helped!
Microphone on watch did not communicate with my iPhone 17 - that is until the most recent update by apple. Now it works great. Loving my fenix more as I get more familiar with the logic to navigate functions

Focus on Performance and Size
The Fenix 8 51mm is a beast. I was looking for a robust watch that didn't feel 'small' on my wrist, and this size is perfect. The screen real estate is massive, making maps and data screens incredibly easy to read. The Silver bezel paired with the Orange bands looks incredible—sporty yet sophisticated. Battery life is unbeatable, and the build quality is top-notch. Truly the king of adventure watches.

Not sure if i haven't understand how to use it yet, but I was expecting more for a watch of this price.

Pulse Ox doesnt work
I bought this watch specifically for the pulse ox feature and it is absolutely impossible to do a manual reading with this watch. It will do its own readings once in a while but manually it’s absolutely impossible. I’ve tried reaching out to tech-support. They said you have to hold still I’ve tried dozens of times, a person can’t hold anymore still and yet it still throws an error saying unable to read the features of the watch marginally well

Great watch, but had issue w/ Red screen
Got this watch to upgrade my Fenix 6, which was a great watch. Had for about 6 months then screen went all red. Called Support and went through a series of steps to see if it was a setting or soft ware issue. They determined it was a had wear issue and replaced watch, which is currently working great. Would buy again as great watch.

Customer review from bloomingdales.com
3 weeks in...
I decided to upgrade from the Venue 2 plus to the Fenix 8. The Fenix had some GPS features I really wanted so I took advantage of the Black Friday sale. Much like my old watch, this watch is great. The screen is so easy to read and it is easy to navigate. My favorite feature is honestly the flashlight! It is so dang handy! The one thing I am a little disappointed in and the reason I am only giving 4 stars is the accuracy of the heartrate monitor. It is way less accurate than my old watch. Like sometime 30 to 40 beats per minute low. I would think for the giant increase in price that this would be a lot better. Having been on some Garmin forums since buying the watch to see if there is a fix it appears I am not the only one with this problem.
