Outstanding Trim and Finish
This thing is such a beautiful piece. Super subtle differences from the 7X Solar that I just sold, but the overall quality is undeniable. It would have been better if they could have kept the thickness the same. It stands off the wrist a bit more than the 7X did. All my issues with functionality have more to do with my learning curve on the customizations available, which is encouraging. Not impressed with the voice functionality yet. Turning Sleep Mode on and off using shortcut is borderline not working. Weird stuff like that. This is my 3rd or 4th Fenix. Finally able to run without my phone, listen to music and stay in touch in an emergency.
This Watch is Amazing!
This watch is absolutely amazing. The display is big and beautiful. It very easy to read and see even in very bright sunlight. The details and craftsmanship are also excellent. As always, Garmin's software gives you everything you need to be your best. The best watch I have ever owned.
Garmin Delivers on Quality as Advertised!
Previously had the Epix Pro Gen 2. Loving the new UI on the F8 Pro! Using the voice commands more than I expected to. AMOLED display is bright, clear and crisp; more so than I thought it would be. Overall, this is an impressive watch and I’m glad I purchased it!
Great sports watch and more
Looks -10/10 (I swapped the stock belt for a tan color one) love the watch faces and that the watch has round and not square. Use if for - running (music and live track enabled) and Golf Pro Details - needed a watch with LTE and GPS feature so that family is assured they can track and call me without a phone on me (yes the pro version has that feature). Granted that it is not via a telecom provider but it manages to work (needs better coverage and gave one less star just for that) Battery - now I don’t have to charge it everyday but depending on my usage maybe once a week. Sometimes once every other week. Summary - a great watch with great features and has great insights into my activities which helps me improve.
Great overall watch with excellent user interface
I bought my Fenix 8 pro about a month ago and I’ve loved it. The maps and gps accuracy is phenomenal, the touch screen works great and I love having the buttons to use as well. Navigating the app is easy and set up was super efficient. The only issue I have is sometimes it does not count reps correctly during workouts it does give you a short time after the set to adjust reps and weight but that takes time. I would love if you could go in after the cycle or at the end of the workout and make edits but that’s a very small issue that I’ve easily worked through. Battery life is as advertised and I love not being required to charge it daily.
Amazing Watch, but Garmin Connect lacking!
Been a long time Garmin Watch user, and still think Garmin is the gold standard for fitness and adventure watches and trackers. The Fenix 8 pro is still the best adventure watch out there, but LTE implementation seems half baked. You cannot make calls or send messages freely like you would on an Apple Watch, not directly anyway. And the subscription model for this is also disappointing. The Garmin connect app has improved over the years, but not by a lot. You still cannon configure your watch fully through the app or see the watch screen on the app. There is also still no iOS widget on the iPhone, hoping Garmin listens to our feedback.
Great design but falls short on LTE functionality
I love my Garmin Epix Pro and was excited to see the Fenix 8 Pro get LTE to hopefully be able communicate without the phone. Unfortunately, the closed proprietary system and the requirement to have everyone I want to contact have the Messager app was a deal breaker for me for the high cost of the watch. I hope that someday perhaps this will not be a closed system and the LTE will function more like the Apple Ultra 3 in that it can share the number with my phone and be able to communicate natively. I decided to keep my Epic Pro as I love it and it covers my use case for that watch, and I went with an Ultra 3 as my daily driver.
This is one exceptional watch!
I've always been a huge fan of Garmin's products on boats, planes, motorcycles and other things I enjoy. So, when I saw the Fenix 8 Pro, I thought I'd give up the self-winding watch I've enjoyed and give this a try. It exceeds all expectations. While instructions look a bit intimidating, it is all pretty easy to work through and you don't have to do everything at once...of course, I did! What I really like is the amount of personalization that is possible. And, it is so comfortable, it is rarely off my wrist!
Great Features!
My favorite watch to wear at the moment. It is very versatile, the display looks wonderful and clear. Love the LTE feature and love the size of this 47mm. Very pleased with the battery life considering the display is very sharp! This is my second Garmin Fenix watch. They made all the right improvements!
Nice upgrade from the fenix 5
I’ve had for a month and a half now and so far so good The only draw back is that sometimes I can shut the phones alarm off and sometimes it doesn’t The keep doing updates which it means they are still working on bugs
