Great hardware. Not so much the software
This watch can be so much better. Great battery life, and very readable screen. However: I neither need nor want features related to activities I don’t do. Give me the option to remove everything related to golf, skiing and scuba. Please! I’d pay extra for the ability to declutter my watch. Fix your upgrades. Most of the time, running an upgrade changes settings, and I spend a couple of hours making adjustments so my watch functions as I am accustomed. And why is running upgrades for Connect IQ so difficult. I don’t even try anymore. And why/how did trails disappear from maps? After years of using them, they are gone. I was an endurance athlete before digital watches, heart rate monitors, etc. The Fenix is like magic. But whomever is in charge of firmware/software should find work for which they are better suited, as the Fenix reputation is being eroded. I won’t buy a Fenix 9.

Love it
Amazing smartwatch and even better fitness and health device. Only way it could be better is if there was a Solar AMOLED version.

Don't check the time under the sun
Very poor quality under sun, coming from Apple & Samsung Ultra watches it is very frustrating to see how poor the quality is under the sun light. Everything else seems great.

Need to be better with software fixes.
I thoroughly like the watch. My only issue arose about a month ago. There is some issue with the “maps” update for the “golf” activity. Some corrupt file that was downloaded with the June update. I have completed two factor resets, but the map file continues to be missing. I was able to get the “golf” activity working, but is still very glitchy and must restart several times. Prior to the map issue, I would have given the watch 5 stars. With the glitch showing up a month ago, and still no permanent fix, I can only go with 4 stars.

LOVING IT!!
I bought this watch a month ago after purchasing a competitors smart watch that also had the ECG app. Their watch would last a maximum of two days without having to charge it. Your watch is fantastic and is only needing to be charged once every 14 to 16 days. As a person that travels a lot or is in remote locations for days at a time with no electricity, this is exactly what I needed.

All those features
A lot of tech. More than i need. Keeps better elevation than my instinct. Downside is it is not super easy or intuitive to set up. But i am not very techy. Not sure how accurate training readiness is. Seems pretty far off of reality for some reason. I would still get one again.

Excellent…not yet perfect.
Pros: great data! Nicely integrated with app and bike computer. Almost every feature I could want. Looks rugged. Beautiful display. Cons: a bit complicated to use. Reminds me of my first digital watch decades ago. Definitely sports-centric, and lags a bit for general health like apnea monitoring. Observations: it’s a big watch. I’m a pretty big guy and I am glad I didn’t go larger.

reluctant convert
I really do love this watch. It's the entire operating system that garmin sits on that is the trouble. Battery life is obviously better than my apple watch which is the only reason I switched. Training for a marathon and the AW couldn't keep up. However, the data nightmare that I've been in moving over to Garmin has me wanting to throw this thing out the window most days. This is primarily because I use a lot of Peloton training outside of my running. The data duplicates in weird ways across connect, peloton, runna and strava. Half the time the broadcast my HR feature doesn't work. The watch itself is fine although bigger than I'd like - it's definitely lightweight and at least decent looking if you don't mind the sporty spice vibes. I just can't believe that with all of the technology and years of legacy garmin has in the marketplace that THIS is as good as they can get. I realize the complications exist in the integrations with other platforms but... don't make your organizational problems and end user issue.

No buyers remorse. Excellent watch/tracker
30 days in with the watch and it is performing extremely well. Battery life is insane with normal use and apps/ menus are very responsive. I upgraded the band to a Bandletic which compliments the 51mm perfectly.One downside is the adaptive brightness which can not be customized or switched off. Otherwise this has been a solid watch and enjoyable to use. I still wear my Mudmaster for heavier outdoor work just in case.

Decent watch my honest opinion
I like the display color, the touch screen, the ease of using it. But like the instict 2 and 3, the torch shortcut doesn't always work.. it'll turn on, but won't switch off. Also the gesture doesn't always work when I put my hand over the watch face.. other than that its great!

decent purchase
It’s a pretty good watch. Randomly after an update I was not able to get text messages anymore on my watch. I’ve tried everything to fix that but it just does not work like it used to. The battery life is decent. I pay for the Garmin connect+ but the contacts I have listed don’t always get the livetrack data sent to them. With past watches I never had to pay for that, so I guess we will be charged for everything we want to use even though the watch itself is pretty pricey. Overall I like it for the functionality for my activities but I think a few things could be fixed.

Great new watch
Love the new fenix 8. Easy to use, a lot faster, a lot more detail in the different categories. The brightness and watch face along with the voice capabilities

Frustrating
would be an almost perfect watch but the auto dim feature makes it almost unusable...so frustrating ... display get so dark...can't read it ... can't this be fixed or given an option to disable?

Feaure Rich Device
I bought the Garmin fenix 8 AMOLED (51mm) about a month ago and love it. There is a bit of a learning curve to find and configure all the settings and link to Training Peaks (if you use TP).

Great Features and Watch
I love my Fenix 8. I have been a Garmin nut since Fenix 3HR and then went to Fenix 6 and now 8. Loved every single one of them and had them for years each and they looked the same as when I bought them.

Touchscreen had 'ghost touches' straight out of the box. Garmin is replacing, but it's a major disappointment for such an expensive piece of gear.

Excellent Fitness and Health Watch
I cannot think of a purchase that I have been this happy with in a long time. The watch provides me tons of data. It is easy to use and functions perfectly. I like ti far better than my Apple Watch. This is a winner.
