Web ID: 19609565Looks good but it’s glitchy
Got it on 1/14/2026 opened it up put on charger. All excited about this watch. Came home did what it said downloaded the app scanned the watch. Took forever to pair. Tried to set up the ecg app said not enough information. Said my heart rate was like 175. Put it on and noticed it was always on the sun set/sun rise screen. Went to the gym looked at it and it was constantly going through different screens. So I have had it less than 12 hours and I am ready to send it back hopefully when I call garmin this morning they will help me with a fix. A lot of money for something that doesn’t work

Love it!!
Love my new Fenix 8. Just upgraded from the 6. The screen is so easy to read. I love the touch screen - it's just as sensitive as my iPhone screen. I thought the flash light was going to be gimmicky - but it actually works great reading menus in dark restaurants and finding my way in the dark. Battery life is crazy. I am on day 18 of the first charge and still says I have 31% remaining. I used to get 6-7 days out of my old 6.

Easy to use--accurate.
I've lived with my Fenix 8 for about 8 months now. It's proven to be easy to use and has some great, "didn't know I'd use that" features like the flashlight and find my phone chime.

Feature packed watch
This is an amazing watch with many advanced features. I would highly recommend it based on the longevity of the battery, brightness of the screen and user interface to anyone looking for an industry leading smartwatch.

Great but probably the last
The Garmin Fenix 8 is a top-tier sports smartwatch. However, extremely high price and requirement of a paid subscription to unlock advanced features. Now I'm facing a problem that my watch just disappear from my garmin connect app and I need to restart the pair process (and product registration). In general, it's good but you always will question if it worth.

Not happy
I've been purchasing Garmin watches for 5 years, and they keep taking things away that matter. I loved Garmin express I could use on my MacBook to download apps and watch faces to my watch but they decided to take that option away and make us use ConnectIQ on our phones which isn't as good, it doesn't show all the watch faces like Garmin Express does. I don't think I'll purchase another Garmin watch if they make it that much harder to find watch faces by getting rid of something that works I'll never understand. Thanks for nothing Garmin

Great features, missing faces
I am happy with the watch except there is only one watch face available. All other faces have to be purchased. This is a huge setback for Garmin.

Excellent
After using an Apple Watch for over a decade, I like this one. My Apple Watch's ability to monitor my pulse rate when working out is always a challenge for me.The Garmin watch has now resolved the issue.Additionally, the run's accuracy is superior to that of the Apple Watch.I also enjoy the statistics on the watch and the Garmin Connect after working out.
