Garmin Fenix 8 review: only kind of smart

 

The $999.99 Garmin Fenix 8 is the company's most advanced flagship, but the price hike and lack of LTE stop it from being truly smart.

To make matters worse, I almost choked when I saw the Fenix 8’s starting price was a whole $350 more than the Fenix 7. That’s not a $50 to $100 hike where you grumble and then begrudgingly admit that inflation is a bitch. For $999, you could buy a...

Garmin Fenix 8 Review: The Smartwatch for Super Athletes

 

The Garmin Fenix 8 is a great smartwatch that excels at tracking numerous activities but doesn't quite measure up to other smartwatches.

Tracks virtually every activity under the sun (and under the water) ; 15-day battery life (as tested) ; Tough and good-looking ; Accurate GPS and heart rate monitoring

Expensive ; Smart features need improvement ; No LTE/4G/5G/cellular option

Garmin Fenix 8 A stylish smartwatch that's great for tracking even the most active of athletes. Of course, there’s the price. These watches are $1,000 for the 43mm version, $1,100 for the 47mm version, and $1,200 for the 51mm version, which means they...

Garmin Fenix 8 Review

 

The Garmin Fenix 8 sees Garmin take its premium outdoor sports watch and give you display options to suit your needs.

Great battery on AMOLED model ; Strong core tracking experience ; Improved navigation features

Big price jump from Fenix 7 Pro ; New interface takes getting used to ; Lacks LTE connectivity

The Fenix 8 is one of the best outdoor multisport watches that is not quite the complete smartwatch and sports watch mash-up just yet, but it’s going in the right direction without losing what makes it a great outdoor companion.

Garmin Fenix 8 review: Adventure just got brighter

 

All-terrain power, now with a brighter edge

AMOLED display with vibrant visuals ; Exceptional battery life, especially in MIP solar models ; Diving support up to 40 meters ; Advanced GPS accuracy with SatIQ technology

Higher price point than predecessor ; AMOLED models have shorter battery life than MIP versions

The Garmin Fenix 8 pushes the boundaries of multisport wearables with its vibrant AMOLED display, enhanced fitness tracking, and exceptional battery life. While it doesn't reinvent the wheel compared to its predecessor, the added smart features, dive...

The Garmin Fenix 8 is impressive, but I was expecting more

 

Garmin's latest flagship watch adds a speaker and mic but not much else.

More rugged build with leakproof buttons ; Flashlight controls are more easily accessible ; Plenty of models to choose from ; Highly accurate data ; Great battery life

Not much of an update over the Epix Gen 2 and Fenix 7 Pro ; Laggy performance in some menus ; Some finicky issues with the voice assistant tools

The Garmin fēnix 8 AMOLED blends smartwatch and adventure watch features into one highly advanced wearable with a vibrant AMOLED display. It features a microphone and speaker to take calls and use voice commands right on your wrist, plus an expansive...
