Write a reviewAwesome watch - Love this watch, so much better compared to the iWatch!
Garmin fenix 8 - ★★★★★ Absolutely Worth It — The Best Watch I’ve Owned I’ve had the Garmin Fēnix 8 51mm Sapphire for several months now, and it has exceeded my expectations. I wanted a watch that could handle serious workouts, running, strength training, travel, and everyday wear without constantly worrying about charging it or damaging it. This watch delivers. The 51mm AMOLED display is outstanding—large, bright, crisp, and easy to read indoors or outside. The sapphire glass has held up extremely well, and the watch still looks premium enough to wear outside the gym. Where the Fēnix 8 really separates itself is the fitness and performance data. GPS accuracy has been excellent, and the training, recovery, heart-rate, sleep, and overall performance metrics give me far more useful information than a typical smartwatch. Battery life is also phenomenal considering the size and brightness of the display. It isn’t a cheap watch, but after actually owning and using it, I understand the price. It feels like a serious piece of equipment rather than another smartwatch that needs to be replaced every couple of years. If you’re active, train regularly, travel, or simply want one premium watch that can do almost everything, the Fēnix 8 Sapphire is hard to beat. 5/5 — I’d absolutely buy it again.
Garmin fenix 8 - Exelent this watch is one of the best , the battery last long and all the features work perfect .
Fénix 8 Solar Saphire - I love this watch to track my runs, swim, and bike workouts. I enjoy the summary it does at the end of the day too and recommendations on sleep needed to fully recover. The built in speaker and light are sweet! Battery life last forever! Big upgrade from my previous Fénix 5!ñ worth every penny!
Excellent watch, previous model was better. - Great watch, the GPS saved me from getting lost in the dessert a few times. When 2 other GPS' were sending me the wrong way, the Fenix 8 Solar Sapphire 51mm was more accurately, preventing me from getting lost. However, previous model 7X Pro Solar 51mm, was much better in terms of battery, buttons felt better.
Disappointed after 7 months - I’ll start with the fact I am a garmin elitist. I had the enduro 2 for my entire career so far in the military. I decided to upgrade and chose to go with this bad Larry right here. 1) battery life is awful and definitely not as advertised. 2) down button stopped working. I don’t know what route I can go to get this situation fixed to get an enduro 3 as a replacement but I’d recommend enduro as the best for military/camping/survival/Running. The enduro 2 is incredible and is more durable and the battery is to die for. As you can imagine being in the thicket for weeks or even months on end, you’d need a durable watch that lasts long. That is not this one. At least for me. But to each one’s own. S/O to Best Buy and Garmin either way. Hopefully I can get with geek squad and we can remedy this situation so I can continue being the annoying garmin elitist I am.
This thing is smarter than me - I have no clue how to do all the things this thing can do, but it is awesome. If your looking for a brighter screen I wouldn't get the solar. But other than that this thing is definitely smarter than me.
The Best watch - I love this product. I bought 2, one for my wife and other one for me. We wear it with casual and athletic wear, and it looks incredible.
Time really counts. - This isn't just a watch—it's a completely futuristic device. I love it! It even gives me advice—it's incredible—and it really lifts my spirits. It was worth every dollar I paid for it.
Loyal Garmin User - Love this watch. Upgraded from the Fenix 5 and happy I did!
Jshdh - Order online says delivered at my house picture doesn't match and I'm making payments on something I don't have it all on fed ex it's ridiculous
Good bye Apple Watch - If you’re a health or fitness junkie like me this is a must have! Theres so much to do and record with this watch it’s amazing,
Awesome - Works great no glitches. My husband loves it and we will buy another.
Wonderful watch! - Excellent present. My husband absolutely loves this watch. He owned an older model Garmin, and was thrilled I purchased this one for Christmas. He swears by Garmin watches.
Garmin Smartwatch - Great Smart watch, it's a bit expensive but worth every penny. It has a ton of features.
10/10 - I would buy it again! It has everything I could possibly need, it's on another level.
Best smartwatch - This watch only comes off to charge. I made the switch from an Apple Watch and it is was the best decision I ever made.
Garmin Fenix 7 pro solar - Great product have had it for months now and I do not regret purchasing the Fenix solar!! Amazing and rough product! Highly recommend to those looking into Garmin for smart watch needs
Perfect Watch!! - Got this for my husbands birthday. He loves his new gadget..
