Fenix 8

What brought people to Garmin? Battery life, MIP screen (for some), history of updating software for a long period and no monthly subscription. Prices were just a bit more expensive than an apple watch. Fenix 7 pro was the last great watch from Garmin. Hopefully mine will keep working for many years

No. With AWU3, we still don't get pretty basic sport functions:- 24/7 HR monitoring,- heart rate zones estimation,- proper HRV monitoring,- suggested workout,- real training load nor any load focus,- flashlight,- maps in the workout app,- GPX track importing into the map. I don’t see any difference

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

Problem with Garmin, they update their watch only when it was newly release probably 2-3 yrs. Then whatever price tag it has, they will abandon once the new kid shows. I think the Fenix 7 / Pro series got it the worst, for premium price tag they barely get update after the new Fenix 8 shows. Coros m

I’m kind of in the same camp. I’m not seeing the value in the micro led. It was supposed to bring better battery life as some sort of middle ground between amoled and MIP. according to Garmin’s website the display has the same PPI as well so you’re not even getting a higher resolution screen, it’s j

happened the same thing to me with a garmin fenix 6 pro. sent them a lot of logs from the phone, installed devs tools to extract them, and in the end they said yeah its broken. we can only give you 30% off a new fenix 8 (1k+ euro) yeah no thanks

The middle size (47mm) Garmin Fenix 8 is over $2000 CAD (after sales tax), which I cannot bring myself to accept. With rumours of a price increase on the Ultra 4 this year I find myself increasingly Amazfit-pilled.

That’s a great point about water pressure and the difference between open water swimming and actual diving. You completely nailed it!To make sure I had proper dive tracking and water resistance without needing to switch between different watches, I decided to go all in and pulled the trigger on the

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,

I'd recommend the Garmin Fenix 8, especially since you are also into running. I did my Open Water 2 years ago, and started running much more the last year as well. And I wanted to replace my Galaxy Watch 6 which lasted just 2 days on battery when running was part of the agenda. In my view, I could h
