Garmin fēnix® 8, 43mm, Whitestone

I LOVE my Garmin watch. I was never excited about any smart watches until I found this one. I am very active in lots of different activities. I bought this watch to train for my first triathlon and it worked awesome. I still don't use many of the features but the ones I do are perfect and easy to use. The battery life is great. I charge it once a week in about 1 hour. It helps me track my steps, sleep, workouts, runs and stress level. There are even workuts that can be used in the app/watch. I bought the smalles screen size because I have small wrists. The watch is very durable...with all I do, it could have broken by now but it has not and doesn't even have any scratches.

I've been using this watch for two days now, and I absolutely LOVE it! The size is perfect—even on my small wrist, it looks sleek and feels just right. It's not too big or bulky, and I can easily read notifications, which is a big improvement for me. I upgraded from a Venu 2s, which had become difficult to see with my eyesight. The speaker is on the quieter side, so if you’re planning to use the watch primarily for phone calls, it might not be ideal. That said, it's perfectly usable in a pinch—like when I’m washing dishes and need to answer a call from my daughter without missing it. The band is comfortable, and the screen protectors fit so well that they look like part of the watch face. There’s definitely a learning curve and quite a bit of setup involved, but I’ll update this review if needed as I get more familiar with all the features (theres A LOT). Is it worth the $899 price tag? Honestly, it might be a bit overpriced—but what isn't these days? Still, it’s a solid upgrade and absolutely worth it to me.

The screen in this watch is amazing! I love it so much!!! My fav Fenix so far

Worth every penny. Outside of the robust features, the flashlight is my most used utility. Highly recommend the 43mm over larger sizes as it’s still pretty big, but not overwhelming and sits very comfortable.

It’s a great upgrade for me, pretty light, easy to sync with my phone

Everything I hoped for in a smart watch/fitness tracker. Coming from an Apple Watch, this is so much better for health and fitness tracking. It is much more capable with many additional metrics. The battery lasts about a week with some tracking going all the time and wearing it 24 hours a day. It connects through Bluetooth and WiFi. It is easy to use either by the buttons or touchscreen. I recommend the 43mm for those with smaller wrists. I originally bought the 47mm and it was big, but not enormous on my wrist. I went down a size for additional comfort and lighter weight when mountain biking. It looks clean and sophisticated. While it is rather expensive, even for a smart watch, Garmin has a good name for lasting years.

I upgraded from a fenix 7s sapphire solar. The ability to connect to phone calls is FANTASTIC, screen display is phenonimal quality and extended features like the ECG are worth the value on the price increase. Just as durable as my 7. Ease to navigate all features. I am 135 pounds with small wrist.

Best watch I've ever owned!!

Alles is geweldig. Het horloge is fantastisch. Het enige minpuntje is dat de batterij veel kleiner is dan die van het model van mijn man. Deze gaat 7 dagen mee, terwijl die van mijn man 16 dagen meegaat. Bovendien was mijn horloge 100 euro duurder. Voor de rest is alles prima.

Fijn horloge klein kwa diameter maar wel wat hoog.

Utilisée lors de mes séances de course a pied et mes sorties Vtt. Habitué de la marque Garmin. Bonne capacité de la batterie.

Perfect, just upgraded from the Garmin Fenix 6s

I got motivated to move and make exercises just by having this watch. Didn't expect that one day i will have my free coach and knowing this ton of information of my health, life quality
