Garmin fēnix® 8 – 43mm, AMOLED, Sapphire, Premium Multisport GPS Smartwatch, Long-Lasting Battery Life, Dive-Rated, Built-in LED Flashlight, Carbon Gray DLC Titanium with Pebble Gray Band

I bought this watch for my wife, and it’s quickly become her everyday go to. She even prefers it over her Apple Watch, which says a lot. What really sets it apart is the battery life. We’re talking weeks, not days. No more charging every night or even every few days. That alone has made a huge difference for her.She wears it everywhere. From running trails to casual errands, and it looks sleek without being bulky. The 43mm size is ideal for her smaller wrist, and it doesn’t feel or look oversized like many sports watches do. She uses it mainly for running and hiking, and it tracks everything seamlessly, from heart rate to elevation. GPS locks in fast and stays accurate.It also syncs perfectly with her iPhone, which was a must. Notifications, activity tracking, and even music control all work without any fuss. Setup was super easy too.Honestly, I wasn’t sure if she’d stick with it after being in the Apple ecosystem, but she hasn’t looked back. If you’re looking for a durable, lightweight smartwatch with powerhouse features and zero battery anxiety, this is the one to get. Highly recommend for active women who want form and function.

This watch is perfect. One week of battery, looks really cool for people with small wrists, like me.The interface with IOS is okay and works well.

Love this watch. Switched from an Apple watch (series 7) and haven't worn the Apple watch since I got it several months ago. I choose the 43mm and it's perfect for my wrist albeit it's a little thick. It gets all iPhone notifications except turn-by-turn navigation. The battery life is actually too good (about 10 days), I forget that it ever needs charging. My only complaint is that it doesn't have wireless charging, you have to actually plug it in with a custom cable.

The item was okay. After I tried it on my wrist it doesn’t fit me well and I’d to replace it with a 47mm. This was about 30 minutes tried on and put everything back into the original box including the smallest label. Amazon decided to charged me $135 fee while the item listed for sale as free return. I feel that I’m being robbed by the seller. Very frustrated!

I got into Garmin as a replacement for my Fitbit series of watches that kept breaking. Unlike Fitbit, the Garmin is a much more honest broker re: steps walked, and it offers a similar battery lifetime unless you have the GPS on all the time.The big upgrade for the 8 vs. the 7 for me was the dive connect function, which is basically a simple dive computer that does a great job for entry level diving. It is super simple to use, does a great job of tracking dives, and an awesome upgrade over the 7.For some reason, the screen and some of the app functionalities also seem better to me, even though they should be pretty similar. All in all, I am super happy with this watch.

So far I absolutely love this thing. Been extremely helpful keeping track of my gym workouts and macros with it linked to myfitnesspal

Absolutely loved & wanted this watch to be an Apple Watch replacement.Good: everything Garmin, screen & battery life!Bad: microphone & speakers are bad at best.I bought it with the intention of answering calls while my phone was in my backpack. Absolutely everyone complained my voice was unintelligibleWithout phone calls/voice assistant working, I’ve switched back to a Forerunner

This was a great buy for a great price, original and came in great condition ! All the feautures are great, outstanding battery life & durability. Looks very neat & formal. Weather accuracy is exceptional.
