For the $$ / function almost have to pass.
Why? We'll compare it to some popular watches; the effective screen size is small. Effective, meaning the actual size being used to display. The voice response and integration with Google Assistant are not possible. In fact, the voice commands don't work at all as far as I can tell. For the price, it's not impressive to say the least. Last comment on menu organization: there are about six ways to reach each command, so the logical menu layout is a bit of a maze, depending on where you start. Phone integration is a little weak, first Garmin I've owned. It's not a new platform, so I'm not sure what progress has been made from the previous versions, still a long road to catch up.
Love the features of the Tactix 8
I bought this watch as my 4th installment of Fenix line. I will say that the sensor has from time to time caused an irritation and hot spot on my wrist. I have adjusted and read reviews to understand the "burn" sensation that occurs. I'm still happy with it, and will continue to wear. I just take it off at night to allow my wrist to breath.
Great upgrade from Tactix 7
Great upgrade from the Tactix 7. The display is vibrant and the buttons are very responsive. I am really enjoying the new watch and how well it integrates data.
