I upgraded to the 47mm sapphire from Epix Gen 2. The thinner bezels, larger screen, are aesthetically pleasing as is the UI. Navigating by map seems smoother and more responsive when hiking. It’s less bulky and more comfortable to wear especially in bed. The watch face selections are more modern. In general it’s a different watch to use and look at, so I’m pleased with the performance and how good it looks on my wrist. My wife gets the Epix for hiking so not too much scrutiny 🧐 on the price 😂. Actually the larger screen when running is worth a lot to me. The price isn’t a factor. I’m not licking my wounds over it. It’s worth every penny.

The Fenix 8 AMOLED is an awesome watch. The display itself pays for it alone. The software is amazing and worth every penny. Get yours today!

Most people forget to mention that the Fenix 8 has MUCH better clarity over the 7X Pro Solar Sapphire I have. It is VERY noticeable, and that alone makes me want to upgrade lol.

I just bought the Epix Pro Gen 2 sapphire 51 mm for 850 € ( the equivalent Fenix 8 is 1200 €) no doubt for me! I don’t need the microphone and the dive and for me the Epix UI is ok. Happy of my purchase!

Excellent information and thank you for sharing It really helps! I ordered both variants of the Garmin fēnix 8 - 47 mm, Solar, AMOLED, Sapphire. The all black one which I think I'm going to prefer isn't coming till the end of the month at least on Amazon it's backwards directly from Garmin. I also ordered the Garmin QuickFit 22 Heathered Black Nylon and Ultrafit Nylon Armband - flexibel. So we shall see, Garmin's own wristbands seem to be really good quality. 🤞😎

There are the bugs in the Fenix8.. Screen brightness in low light conditions makes my Felix 8 51 Amoled completely UNUSABLE!!! Also the watch lags even in the watch face menu.. it’s a horrible experience, never had these issues with my Fenix7X or my EPIXPRO 51!!

You're right, it does look like they rushed out a bit and released it with bugs. Hopefully it will be fixed soon

Hi, great video I just want to know some more feature regarding receiving calls. Normally i wear wireless bluetooth, so if i answer the incoming call from the watch, so the voice of the other person will come from the watch, mobile or my connected wireless bluetooth? If, by answering the call from the watch, the voice of other person comes from the, so does the watch has the option to switch the voice of other person to my connected bluetooth from the watch itself..? Please make a detail video of it Thanks....

That's a great idea! I will make a video about it Anyway if you'll answer from the watch the sound will come from its speaker, unless your BT headphones are paired with the watch Anyway there's a button to switch between the phone/watch

If you answer a call on your watch and you are already connected Bluetooth headphones, it will come through the headphones first. It also displays the option for all avalible options to transfer the voice too.

For me a smartwatch was the ability to answer to calls, use voice assistant and an ability to view notification with ease, also to use contactless payments. I think the Fenix 8 ticks all of those boxes Maybe for you it's a bit different and that's ok :)
