Garmin Fenix 8 vs. Fenix 7 - Is It Worth the Upgrade?

[@Miguel-cq1ms]

With all the bugs in their current software these guys should at least send the new OS to older models as apple does. This only tells users than there’s no real hardware improvements for upgrading and they’re using newer software as hook. Nice watches, terrible software.

Having owned garmin watches for the last 15 years - i dont know what you are talking about.. Current watch - Fenix 6x - is on os version 26 - so they do indeed update the OS.. But they are just not as bad as apple to make software - there is no need to update my watch anymore - is just works - and have done so from day 1..

@@MrMichaelfalk they’re not rolling back the new OS cause it’s their upgrade strong point. Apple don’t do that unless the hardware is outdated.

I think my fenix 5x pro still hold the ground. With that price and an no LTE connectivity I will wait for fenix 9 or 10 with LTE

Hello great video I would like to ask you I have the fenix 6 and I am thinking upgrading is it worth it to buy the fenix 8 or choose fenix 7 with the lower price ? Thank you

[@CoolGadgetsCraze]

Go with fenix 7, it's an amazing gadget

My opinion is that Garmin is losing its meaning with the 8 series, because the philosophy of Fenix ​​watches has always been the battery (to last a hundred times longer) and that the display is readable in all situations. I personally am not interested in resolutions and pixels, because I have more than that on my phone (4k). This watch should be as reliable as possible and you should trust it at all times. That's why I decided to buy the new Fenix ​​7 Solar, although at the moment money is not a problem for me, that is, to add another 300-400 dollars for the latest model, which honestly disappointed me, although at first everything looks much better.

I appreciate your perspective! The evolution of tech can be a double-edged sword, especially when it strays from the foundational qualities we value most. The Fenix 7 Solar is a solid choice, and hopefully, it meets your expectations!

so im rocking the fenix 7 x saphire solar limited . idk what all that means but its a bright blue watch 51mm with the solar panel love this watch , the only feature i would love to see improved where the graphics and a better screen looks like they have not upgrade that on the 8x solar . so i would say it holds its ground i was tempted to upgrade but after looking at reviews i dont see the benefit yet . the add mic and speaker are nice the watch should improve to the point i can leave my phone at home while working out and stil be able to recieve calls

That sums it all up, thanks for the comment ❤️

[@404-Err0r]

Epix Pro is still best value.. there isn't a Fenix 8 variant that gives AMOLED with Sapphire screen protection..... And it costs so much more too... Why?

[@pechismaxis1082]

There are fenix 8 amoled with sapphire screen xD

[@404-Err0r]

@@pechismaxis1082 oh I stand corrected!!! You're right they do come with the sapphire option, Garmin could make it clearer on the specs within their website lol.

I gave epix gen 2 that works still great and does everything i need. I would love to have the pro version at 51 mm. But since my epix gen 2 does all i need. Ill wait. I also have Tactix 7 pro that looks gorgeous. So ill pass. Ill way to see if they release tactix 8. Imo tactix versions are always better choice. Not only do they look miles better, they also come with extra functions at couple of bucks more. Im not sure though if tactix 8 is going to be a thing.
