I not no experience with the AMOLED Garmins but I picked up a Fenix 8 51 Solar… no regrets. As someone else said. The back light button deals with low lighting and as for using it in the sun… top tier!

Hello, I just switched from a Fenix 8 to a Race 2, here are my thoughts: I’ve been a Garmin user for the past two years, using the Epix Pro and Fenix 8. While both watches were great, they had some really weird software bugs and were overkill for my running and strength training needs. Recently, my

Apple Watch - гівно. Кажу як власник Series 11. Тим більше SE. Заряджати кожну добу і для спорту вони не дуже прям заточені. Купіть краще Garmin. У мене Fenix 8 AMOLED і я дуже задоволений, набагато краще.

I have a Fenix 8 AMOLED, absolutely zero regrets. Used to have a 6X Pro MIP and a Samsung watch with AMOLED, I was absolutely sure if I ever got a Garmin again it needed to be AMOLED. I just vastly prefer the look of AMOLED over MIP, obviously indoors but outdoors has not been an issue at all either

This issue has been going on for three months now. I had 3 replacements that all has the same issue. If you unbox a Fenix 8 amoled right and update the firmware from 15.32 to 21.39, you’ll have the issue where the booting animation would disappear and also the screen would stay off until plugged int

Ich bin vor zwei Jahren von der Fenix 7 Saphire Solar zur Fenix 8 Amoled. Das Display ist bei jedem Wetter perfekt ablesbar - auch im direkten Sonnenlicht. Mit AOD komme ich auf 8 Tage Laufzeit mit recht vielen Aktivitäten. Das entspricht zwar nicht den 18 Tagen, die ich auf der Fenix 7 hatte, reich

Too expensive. Garmin removed free Portal watchface from Fenix 8 amoled (over 1000 USD watch) and then charges 6 USD for this watchface similar to Portal. Definition of moneygrab.

I just bought my first sports/smartwatch a month ago. I haven't regretted choosing the Garmin Fenix 8 43mm (amoled) I researched the size and features of the watch well in advance, so the choice was easy.

Nope. Got an ultra 2. Battery life on that sucks too. After a year with it went back to a Garmin Fenix 8 amoled. 10-15 day battery life. My AWU2 is only for music now so I don’t have to run with a phone.

Actually managed to fix this on my Fenix 8 Pro — map is now smooth and route calculation is near-instant with zero errors. What's wild is I went back and forth with Garmin support and they had no idea. From what I've seen on this sub, people have been chasing this for years and Garmin still hasn't p
