My "dress" watch face is from 'dfaina'. He offers many faces that look amazingly like Swiss watches. My favorite is the Omega Divemaster and the Omega Speedmaster. Amazing work and highly customizable too!

i enjoy the video a lot... thx... i have a question ... now with the new update 11.89 which includes the industrial standard watch face from fenix 8 mip solar what colour combinations would you suggest for this particular new watch face and what colour band...

@panzer948 4 күн бұрын

Good stuff, I decided to finally change my watch faces after watching this. I agree with many of your styles, although I am into more of the reds/oranges and blue/yellow color schemes. I need to look into some new watch bands now. Do you know if Garmin or some third party is going to offer colored side sensor guards? Mine is black and would love to get some accent color there.

@mikelevy3580 Ай бұрын

Does Garmin ever provide updated watch faces in future updates? Or am I stuck with the F8 standard watch faces forever?

All of you guys probbaly know that standard digital wf from fenix7, than epixpro , and fenix 7 pro . With 6 data written around bezel , and another 3 on top of the time and 3 on bottom . So 12 datafields in one WF . In my opinion that was the best wf which garmin ever made . Is it still availible on fenix 8 ?

Is it possible to set a shortcut for always on display?. Thanx!

On my 51mm Carbon DLC, for “dress watch” I like the simplicity of deep dive, with all the data fields turned off, with the exception of the date field. Combined with my carbon DLC band, it looks the absolute business 👌

Data dash really works for me. On the orange band and the orange data color is a perfect combo

Which is better size 47 or 51 for comfortable lifestyles and daily uses?

@DaveDoesFitness Ай бұрын

I think that depends on how large of a person you are. I'm not that big and have some tiny wrists so 47 is my limit

@Geo-Tactix Ай бұрын

Great video! 👏 I'm always using stock standard watch faces and prefer a mature look of them. Too many colors aren't for me.

@DaveDoesFitness Ай бұрын

Yes! Having such bright options are a bit of a departure and some of us old guys like it the way it was 😂

Data Dash has been my favorite. Training intensively for climbing in the Himalayas, & this face provides max 24 hours feedback.

New subscriber here, and really enjoying your content. You’ve got a future! I recently put my Epix gen 2 pro up for sale and wasn’t impressed with the Fenix 8 at the price point, so taking a break from Garmin. Also, wasn’t impressed with Apples updates, but I have an Ultra 1 as well and with cellular/LTE, it gives me the peace of mind I need in a smart/fitness watch to be my sole daily driver. Curious, have you owned the ultra? The black one is sleek looking…wondering if you’ll review the watch and features. Thanks!

Hi, I've gone to the Connect IQ store and can't find any of these titles you have mentioned. I see Garmin made watch faces, but these are other designs. Are some of the designs limited to the US, as I'm UK based? Although some you have shown are pre-installed on Fenix 8 in the UK. Thanks for any information.

@RichardDavies1983 8 күн бұрын

Also in the UK, all the watch faces mentioned can be added from the watch. Hold the middle button>watch face>bottom button>add new You should be able to scroll through all the faces mentioned and edit the styles. Not sure if it varies by F8 model? Would be very strange if it did. Hope this helps bud.

There are many 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!!

how do you get to the watch faces.

Long press the up button (middle left) and it's the first option. You will have to scroll down until you see the green + and then it will display all the faces you have installed

@ilmarrillo6033 Ай бұрын

All of those watch face versions are too overloaded… I prefer to use analog watch face without any visual noise. For example the rock vers is ok but I dont need this ridiculous rock imitatied painting on the background and pointless digital clock numbers. I hope they will give a possibility with next update to propose more flexibility. Another problem in my point of view is too small font size in additional fields.. as battery life, date etc…

i have garmin 6pro solar, defaluf faces are horrible. i have found the Gearmix in the store... quite decent. i think overall faces are not the strong point of the garmin

I've really been enjoying the Iron Grit, with green shift on. Always on display and gesture off. I've found that for most of my time in doors, even with gesture off the green is readable. If there was an option to disable the auto ambient light changing it would be even better.

@DaveDoesFitness Ай бұрын

Oooh I like that idea for a setup. I haven't messed around with the color shifts as of yet, but I'm definitely about to now! Thanks for watching! 💪🏃

@JaredAkers Ай бұрын

@@DaveDoesFitness I found a Garmin forum question about the auto "ambient" light setting. With a possibility of turning it off via a software update. For me, with Green shift on, on several of the watch faces, and Gesture off, it very readable at all times. Just that sometimes the auto ambient light setting makes it a bit too dim. I was hoping with gesture off and green shift always on it may help with battery life also.

@JaredAkers Ай бұрын

@@DaveDoesFitness I also set Green shift as a shortcut, so I turn it off when doing a run.

@Tha-King-Arthur Ай бұрын

Great video - really enjoy your content. I added Radial Precison to my list for going out at night. I was so excited to get my F8 and once I saw the watch faces I too was very disappointed. I was hoping Garmin would bring back a few of the standard Fenix watch faces. I currently use Glance Pro, Glance Pro & ALVectorOne. I generally like the data rich faces that are larger as I need readers for up close. Maybe it’s time to get progressives. 😢

@mmafighter077 Ай бұрын

I don't know if there's anybody crazier about watch faces than me. I've spent a lot of money on watch faces. I probably change. Watch faces everyday. I think one issue no one is talking about is a fact they got rid of a lot of watch faces and there isn't a big default selection like there has been in the past. And now Garmin is charging $5 for most of their watch faces that don't even look as nice as some of the default ones.

@Tha-King-Arthur Ай бұрын

I always run in the dark and while i'm running and looking at my Fenix 8 screen I can't even see clearly my features scores on the watchface because the watch dims too dark (50% or less) in the dark. WTF is this? In the dark, the watch should provide 100% light instead of dimming.

@DaveDoesFitness Ай бұрын

I'm not typically running when it's too dark so I haven't had that issue, but try to check out Settings -> Focus Modes -> Activities -> Display & Brightness. You can crank it all the way up and have it not time out. Not sure if ambient sensors would still dim it. Perhaps a color shift option could help as well?

@Tha-King-Arthur Ай бұрын

@@DaveDoesFitness Just sit on the couch at home and turn off all the lights. You will notice that the AOD only works at 50% light. Then take your phone and shine the light from your phone on the Amoled screen. Then the AOD suddenly goes to 100% brightness. This is really poorly designed. I use the ''Data dash'' watch face and I can see the large statistics such as the time fine, but the smaller statistics such as heart rate, body battery, stress just cannot be read in the dark. But if the AOD dims during the day and you walk in the sun, the AOD will update the light to 100%. This is really poorly designed and not thought through at all.

@koshi8553 Ай бұрын

I have the same problem. I've looked everywhere and haven't found a solution. This dimming is very annoying because in a dark place you can barely see anything.

@Tha-King-Arthur Ай бұрын

@@koshi8553 Garmin is a watch for adventure people, including people who do activities in the dark. There are even people who go for a walk through the forest in the middle of the night. And then Garmin makes a watch that is only clearly visible during the day and not at night. How weird is it that the watch dims in the dark lol. I have also looked for solutions and there are simply none. Garmin really messed up.

@EagleEye-MJG Ай бұрын

As an Epix Pro Gen2 (51mm) owner, the OLED display technology Garmin is using for these watches is trash .... considering this is 2024 going into 2025. The "at a glanace" angles are horrible, with their Always On Display (AOD). Considering these particular watches, with LARGER BATTERIES, should allow the USER to decide how they want to set the intensity of the AOD.
