Fenix 8 47mm, Carbon Gray Titanium Black Band Watch / Fitness Tracker
Product Details
Web ID: 5308079Lots of features. By lots I mean loads
The watch works well and battery performance is excellent. The various features are sometimes illogical. The default face has some odd choices and too much info for one page. It is customizable however in the month or so I’ve owned it I haven’t spent too much time on that. Seems to be more accurate than my Whoop strap and that may become r3dundant once I customize the read outs.

Awesome Upgrades!
I originally had the Fenix 6 Pro Solar & it was a great watch, but the Fenix 8 is a game changer! I bought the Fenix 8 – 47 mm, Solar, Sapphire, Carbon Gray & the new features are great! This touchscreen has been one of my favorite additions, thought the voice option is super helpful as well. The battery life is night & day better than the Fenix 6, as well as the tracking is more accurate & inline with how I feel. Overall, this watch is an upgrade that I would suggest to anyone looking for some solid upgrades to their older models. I highly recommend this watch!

Excellent watch
Excellent watch and quality, coming from a Fénix 5X, this watch has a lot of extra features. Only thing I might have wanted would be that the watch band be a couple of mm wider. It feels quite thin for the size of the watch.

Another great Fenix
Having upgraded from 7, flashlight has been a life changing feature. It's nice to still have the option of an MIP screen and not just AMOLED

Great watch!!
I bought this about a month ago n haven’t taken it off, this watch has great battery life along with other data. Depth gage works well. I also had the Fenix 7S but i like this much better, it does it all.

Perfect for Marathon Training
I bought my Fenix 8 to train for the 2026 Miami Marathon. I really love the watch. Feature reach, can track all vitals and all relevant running metrics. I love the feature where it keeps me (while running) in the right pace, alerting when I'm to fast or to slow, a feature that the AW doesn't have. Battery life is incredible, I find myself charging the watch every 2 weeks which is remarkable. I wear my Fenix when I sleep, as it is the most comfortable watch so far that I tested, I wear my Fenix when I exercise and I wear my AW during the day due to the cellular connection and Apple ecosystem.

Awesome tool that has grown on me vs Apple Watch
Coming from the Apple Watch Ultra I wanted a smartwatch that had extended battery life and gps features that didn’t require phone connection and that also had topo graphic view format with water/weather indications. So far I’ve done multiple hikes and scuba adventures these past few weeks and I can say that this watch really shines for the hardcore outdoorsman. I wanted the solar 47mm option so it’s not so bulky on my wrist and it had to have the mini solar panel to extended the battery life a few days which it really did. One key feature that I did not anticipate liking so much was the Garmin connect app. You can find tons of hikes local to your area and also map your own trails which makes getting out there super easy! This could be pretty cool if you are an avid cyclist or runner and want to find/build/track your exact distances for a coordinated route and monitor your progress as simple as looking at your watch. One feature that I really wish was available for the fenix 8 was the ability to use air integration for scuba diving. However I believe that feature is only available on one of the other scuba specific watches made by Garmin. The menu is not as intuitive as the Apple Watch Ultra, however once you spend some time with the watch you will quickly overcome that small learning curve. The Apple Watch Ultra is still a useful tool if you are going on sub 2 day adventures or working in an environment that needs features such as the walkie talkie or picture messaging directly to your watch but I feel much more confident wearing garmins Fenix 8 47mm solar on my wrist for real deal outdoorsman situations. Both watches have a place on my nightstand but the Garmin is a beast that keeps on going with battery life measured in days not hours.

Love it!
I’ve had my Fenix 8 for about a month. I love it, still learning new functions all the time.
