I had the Fenix 8 solar, sold it, then decided to go for the Amoled, after a month using it I knew I did the wrong move, so sold the amoled, and got a new solar, imma stay here, it’s the best damn Garmin watch!

Garmin fenix 8 solar flashlight bleed
I have the solar version. I found this thread https://www.reddit.com/r/GarminFenix/s/CAKxDpz8Px. Apparently almost everyone has this. Some more some less. Don’t bother about it. Replacing it someone said Garmin told them it’s within tolerance. You could try of course, yours it a bit excessive

Smartwatch
I have a Garmin Fēnix 7. I bought it for my birthday in May & I love it. I used to have a Samsung Galaxy smart watch. Initially , I just used Samsung Health, but I was not completely happy with that, tried various other apps, and ended up with Strava. Unfortunately, Samsung Galaxy doesn't play nice

Fenix 8 mic broken... Recertified replacement?
My F7SS broke down this June. Garmin offered me a recertified fenix 8 solar as a replacement (not for free though, Fenix 7 was over 4y old). I was hesitant aswel, but the only thing that gave away that it was recertified was the box it came in. Device itself is like new and works like a charm. ymmv,

FBA or Cirqa?
Io uso un fenix 8 solar e un fitbit air, per gli allenamenti uso garmin, per tutto il resto il fitbit, aggrego tutto su salute di apple e su bevel, riservando a garmin le metriche di allenamento e a fitbit sonno e cardio a riposo. Ottengo il massimo da entrambi. Avrei voluto il cirqa ma date le dime

I have done further research. Garmin engineers confirmed the leakage on solar models is normal. Replacing makes no Sense as most devices have this. Even the Fenix 7 Solar series had this leakage

Back to MIP! Fenix 8 Solar
I don't know. Maybe I like the bright screen. I'm not going to the mountains or things like that. I bought the Garmin ecosystem, for health reasons: Index Scale, Index BPM and the Fenix 8 51mm. I have a Google Pixel Watch 4 45mm. I love it very much. Maybe the AMOLED screen makes the Fenix feel a li

How to reduce fingerprint smudges?
It depends on their models. I have a Fenix 8 solar with Sapphire Screen. You are right to say that this doesn't happen with the latest Sapphire screen Garmin watches.

Back to MIP! Fenix 8 Solar
I got the Enduro 3 as my daily (very underrated Garmin watch) and the Fenix 8 Pro 51mm (for dress up purposes while preserving my metrics). I figured I needed a thinner watch as the second one and sold the F9 Pro (never the Enduro 3). I’m waiting patiently for F9 47mm lineup for my second watch. Bat
