Incredible watch with some irritating flaws
4 out of 5 stars

The watch itself is just beautiful. However, some flaws are making me reconsider my purchase. Number one, which is a complaint across many forums, is the dimming of the display in different light conditions. At night, sometimes to see it you have to shine it under a light to get the display to brighten up. For the price of the watch, we should be able to adjust this manually. Also, the weather is always 3 to 5° out of sync. For some, this isn’t a big deal but being in Arizona it is critical. Again, for the price of the watch, I should be able to set the interval that it checks the weather. Sleep tracking is a bit flawed. If I get up more than twice to urinate at night, it thinks I’m awake and doesn’t calculate the right sleep times. Others have reported that they will be driving down the road and an alert will pop up saying how was your nap? All of these complaints can be viewed on the fenix eight Facebook group with 43,000 members. I got really tired of my Apple Watch and its battery life. But I had none of these issues with that watch.
Genarlly a very good watch

When it works it's great but it also has some bugs. Every month or so it won't synchronize with my phone using the sleep/body battery. Not sure which side is the problem but have to delete and relink to fix. Linking is also painful requiring 3 or 4 attempts before it will properly connect even though the phone is a foot away. Recently updated to Samsung 25 and the bug remains) Also annoying that their flagship watch won't link with the CT-1 club sensors requiring you to spend hundreds more for that functionality (or in my case - not).
WoW! This thing does a LOT!!!

The Good stuff: The fit is way more comfortable than I thought possible It looks nice out of the box but a bit intimidating Battery life is great & it is easy to change, so far Not too heavy for my liking but it feels good & solid Now the Bad parts: This is the first "Smart-Watch" I have bought & holy crap has it been a huge long learning curve The "instructoral videos" on your website are of little help Very pricey! Can not use FSA funds to purchase
Very nice looking watch!

Bought this 3vweeks ago. Everything worked great for 2 weeks. Now when my phone rings it doesn't on the watch. I've gone through every setting every restart procedure tried everything. Tried contacting garmen and figured its just not worth the time anymore. Besides this the watch is amazing. Very confortable really great monitoring. When strength training in the gym, 80% of the time it know what movement I'm doing. Very good at tracking steps, oxygen, sleep, calories, i like the body battery. I'd say its pretty good
Great updates to the Fenix.

This is my third Fenix. The updates on the 8 are great. It was easy to upload music through the app. GPS has been very accurate. The battery lasts longer than my 6. I like all the health data that it gives. Lots of sports options available.
Awesome watch!

Got this as a gift. A huge upgrade from the vevofit 3 I had for like 7 years. I just wish she for me the bigger size so I can Read the display easier and battery would last longer. This lasts 10 days. Which is good, but not like the 30 says on larger models. The screen is so sharp and colorful. But it is a nice regular watch size and I love it.
Love this watch - does everything I need

I had the Garmin Fenix 5 for 9 years and loved it and finally upgraded to the Fenix 8 and am really glad I did. The features are great - everything I need and it is really easy to use and great interface. Kudos to Garmin.

I really love all the bells and whistles this comes with. Sleep scores, workout activities, pulse ox, fitness reminders, connectivity to phone, wifi, etc. Morning summary is great. In my mind better than an apple watch if you want deeper insights. i’m getting into hiking so I like the mapping options. Cons: it is a bit bulky for sleeping with. if you have all the heart rate tracking features on and phone connectivity, it does being the battery to 7 days. I like it so far.
Awesome watch with short comings

I purchased this watch a few weeks ago and overall I love it. The amount of tracking available is amazing and it fits very well. On to short comings… For the price there shouldn’t be a monthly charge for the software. Also the customization for the weightlifting is limited and makes it challenging to change during your workout. Overall I’m happy with the purchase but I couldn’t say it’s worth the price tag.
Love it but I wish it could…

I love my Amoled Fenix 8 51 mm, a big upgrade from my Fenix 5x Plus. Since I travel through different time zones frequently, I wish I could keep a selected alternate time permanently stay on, not only for few moment and then goes back to my watch face.

I love this watch! Admittedly, it has more capabilities than I use, but the features I use are very good. Wearing the watch along with my Oura ring didn’t last long and the latter has been relegated to my dresser drawer as the former does everything the Oura does and more… especially in sleep tracking. I’m pleased I got the 47mm rather than the 51mm. The display on the AMOLED is great. I did change the watch strap as the orange was pretty obnoxious.
Insane watch

The watch is unbelievable! As someone who has been an Apple Watch user for years, I finally made the jump to a Garmin watch and have never looked back. As an athlete that runs, cycles, swims, hikes etc. It was crucial that I had a reliable piece of equipment that is with me at all times. I could honestly talk for days about all of the features this watch offers that I absolutely love! But I will try to keep it short and just add that the battery life is game changer as well has having a super bright LED light on you at all times. If you are thinking about picking this watch up do it! It has been one of my best investments that I have made.
Nice watch but simple stuff is an issue

Overall it’s a nice watch. Battery seems to work well. My biggest complaint is that it’s not easy like other smart watches to operate and I CAN NOT receive text messages. Also I have to have my phone close by for some of the functions to work. It will NOT allow me to use AMEX or my other credit cards for smart pay. To have paid the money I did for this watch and the only thing better than an Apple Watch is looks and a flash light.

I’ve had an Apple Watch forever and it was average it was just like having a baby phone on my wrist which was OK if that’s what you’re into. I tried to Whoop for 30 days and hated wearing two devices if I needed to watch. This thing is awesome, I know it’s a lot of money which is lame but it’s worth every penny the battery life is awesome the metrics are incredible. It’s just a fantastic watch
Swiss Army Knife of smartwatches (4.9/5 Stars)

Several years back I had a Fenix 3 (at least I think it was. Sometime around 2018ish) And I loved it. This version is light years better. Lots of cool and helpful features like the sleep monitor, shows you how do certain exercises, the flashlight feature is amazing too. I would call this the smartwatch equivalent of the Swiss Army knife. I have only one dislike about it. I feel like the band is a little too thin. It could be a tad wider. Maybe that’s personal preference, but I believe a watch with this big of a face should come with a slightly wider band. And I know you can buy other bands, so it’s absolutely not a deal breaker. So my honest rating of it would be a 4.9 out of 5 stars.
Lots of Goodies

Love the watch however it was most shocking when I found out that you have buy different faces for it , I would think that a watch that cost as much as it does, that would be somewhat included, just because of that fact I might return it
