Fenix 8

The older OLED fenix 8 model has even better battery life than the micro-led fenix 8 pro. It's not the display tech, it's a combination of physical battery size and garmins having relatively underpowered hardware and not as many smartwatch features running in the background.

I recently made the switch from the AWU2 to the Fenix 8 because I mainly used my watch for sports and health—essentially the same priorities you have. I have to say, I am completely satisfied with the change. The Garmin gives you much more insight into your health, recovery, Body Battery, Training R

Depends on what you do for hobbies. If you are a person who runs daily with the intention of improving your speeds to compete then yeah, you’ll probably miss Garmin. But if you are looking to just be a better version of you and just get in shape and improve your fitness then AWU3 will help you do th

Moi je l’aime. J’ai eu Forerunner 965, Epix 2 pro et Fenix 8, et du point de vu hardware c’est de loin ma préférée. Très légère (j’ai la titanium) et fine, elle est confortable et j’aime son look très épuré. L’écran est vraiment meilleur que celui de la Fenix 8 à mon avis, la batterie est également

I went from AWU to Fenix 8 (not pro) and the Fenix is way better at about everything I use it for. However I’m not into smartwatches, I bought the watch primarily for running. So getting the AWU from the beginning was really stupid but at that time I didn’t know exactly how I was gonna use it. It to

so, i don’t have a smartwatch, i use a gshock fyi but i’ve been watching TONS of reviews on youtube. the garmin instinct 3 does seem to be THE garmin at the time. not because it has all the smart features or something, that would be the fenix 8 but the instinct 3 has all normal features without bein

Bought my first Garmin in december 2024. It's Garmin Epix Pro gen 2 47mm. In general it's just awesome. But right now I'm thinking of switching it for Enduro 3 in 2026. Cheaper version of F8 Solar, and I don't need diving functionality or speaker/microphone. So in general... Yes probably MIP is more

I did the switch in the opposing direction, here is your best pros and cons in my opinion: Garmin Pros: * you'll get better training information* you'll have better battery* design overall is better in my opnion What I think you would miss: * cellular: even if you go with Fenix 8 Pro, the cellular isn't

Thanks for the info!!! We seem to do a lot of the same stuff. I’m mostly training for marathons so 50+ miles a week plus working out 3-5 times a week. I can’t use NFC anyway bc Garmin has never accepted the card my bank uses. I also don’t use music on the watch I usually just listen directly off my

So funny you say that, I have moved over to the Garmin Fenix 8 Pro and I never thought I’d get used to having all the buttons but I am. I still have the Apple Watch Ultra 2 bc ATT, but in the past year I’ve had the GW 8, 8 Classic, and the CMF Watch Pro 3 (still have that one) and the CMF even has a
