Web ID: 19879629Great but
I bought this watch a month ago. I really enjoy the battery life and the screen. My only annoyance is sometimes it doesn’t correctly pick up my sleep and another big thing is, I can’t send text via iOS from the watch. And that itself is making me debate about getting an android phone or switching to the ultra 3

Great watch!
I switched from a Samsung Gear watch. This has far more features, and a great screen. Plus it holds a charge for a long time.

Doesn’t worth the price
This is my 7th Garmin smartwatch, I would say it’s not worth the price, the touch screen is laggy and slow, the buttons constantly get pushed by accident during normal hand motions, in terms of sensor accuracy, it didn’t add anything to the previous generation from my personal experience, it’s still good. The IQ store is actively promoted but keep in mind, the non-Garmin apps and watch faces may make it lag, glitch and freeze, because most of the apps are not updated consistently. This happened to me, I have lost pretty significant amount of data because of it. Smart features don’t work half the time. If this is going to be your first Garmin watch, you may like it but it’s definitely not worth the upgrade from previous generations, and most definitely not worth the price tag.

Great watch
I bought the 47mm a month ago after the owner of the company I work for got one for his birthday. I already owned a 51mm that I use for running. The 47mm is the perfect size for an everyday watch and you have all the great features the 51mm has with the exception of battery life. For myself that’s not a deal breaker as I just love the Fenix 8 watches.

Screen so bright
I have had this watch a couple months. Upgraded from Fenix 6x sapphire. Love it. Screen bright and clear. Love flashlight. Really like answering calls and talking through watch.

Great watch all around, from multi day excursions in the mountains to diving, this watch can do it all, flashlight is surprisingly helpful.

Great overall sports smart watch
I bought my Fenix 8 AMOLED Saphire about one month ago and love it. The amount of data it provides is really great. It takes a bit longer to set everything up as liked (Apple Watches are a bit easier to get that accomplished), but once you are done everything is easy. Love the longer lasting battery (my average is about 10 days) that supports training, reading and reviewing data. The silicone bands are light and feel great too. Thumbs up and a definite buy recommendation from me !!

Super display and interface
coming from an epix gen 2 this was a noticeable upgrade. The display and interface have levelled up for sure.
