Back to MIP! Fenix 8 Solar
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!

Що купити Samsung Galaxy S26 + Galaxy Watch 8 або Iphone 17 + Apple Watch SE3.
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.

Garmin mk3i?
Descent MK3 is the top of the line watch for Freediving. It has almost everything you would want, including pool training, depth profiles, descent/ascent speed, etc. It is pricey though and Fenix 8 is a good alternative. All Garmins are also great for overall fitness and wellness tracking like sleep

Received my Cirqa today
First night with it, you just forget you have it, better than Fenix 8. Wish there is a morning report on the phone via Garmin connect tough

Is active 3 premium too small?
Fenix 8 is the best, Garmin has many years of experience and it shows. The Nomad is very good even, the maps on the watch move very smoothly and you can seamlessly create a route from the app. Finally the Active 3 Premium has basic routing from the watch itself, like the Fenix 8, but it's limited an

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,

Came from a garmin to ultra 3. Feel great about my decision
I've got a Fenix 8 and AWU3. I keep wanting to switch permanently to the AW but, the Fenix 8 has so many more performance related features natively which are missing from the AW. The ones in really value are: Proactive run suggestions that drive performance - these now link via the race Widget to pr

Been wanting to buy a new watch and was going to buy the Garmin fenix 8 is there anything else anyone recommends
Had the Epix Gen 2 Sapphire for the past 2.5 years and loved it. Garmin recently sent me an upgrade to the Fenix 8 Sapphire and it is marginally better. I like the interface on fenix 8 over epix. Can't speak to forerunner..
