The Garmin Fenix series are iconic smartwatches known for their high durability, long battery life and versatile sports and outdoor use. They also offer continuous monitoring of a wide range of health data, an elegant design, a rich selection of smart features, and compatibility with both iOS and Android smartphones. The 43mm size is suitable for small to medium-sized wrists. The Garmin Fenix 8 features a durable, silver steel bezel and a high-luminosity AMOLED display with bright colours and high resolution. The display can be set to Always On mode or to a sleep mode that extends battery life. In sleep mode, the display wakes with a gesture when you raise and turn your wrist towards your face. During sports, you can separately set whether the display should turn off or remain permanently visible. The durable sapphire crystal provides reliable protection for the display against damage. One of the main innovations of the Fenix 8 is the colour touchscreen, which has grown to a diameter of 1.3" compared to the previous model. The larger display affects the design of the bezel, which is thinner and gives the watch a more elegant look. The quick-change strap system lets you swap between multiple strap colours or materials to match your mood or outfit. The Garmin Fenix 8 uses straps compatible with the QuickFit 20mm system.
This watch comes from European distribution and is fully localised. This is a limited stock offer and does not include a voucher for the Topo Czech map.
Sports features are among the main reasons for choosing a Garmin Fenix watch. The watch uses a system of sports profiles dedicated to individual sports activities. Each sports profile has its own settings and specific functions for that type of sport. The watch can be used for most sports activities, both indoor and outdoor. The activities where the watch is most frequently used include: walking, running, cycling, swimming, skiing, triathlon, rowing, strength training, yoga, golf and many other sports. New to the Fenix 8 is a dive computer function for recreational freediving and scuba diving to a depth of up to 40 metres. The watch is now equipped with inductive buttons with haptic feedback and increased water resistance. Even underwater, the watch can be fully operated using the buttons without fear of damage.
The sports features of the Garmin Fenix 8 smartwatch also include estimates of fitness metrics, training readiness status, or training load focus. Using daily training recommendations, the Garmin Coach feature, or race training plans, the watch can automatically suggest running training plans that are individually tailored to you based on your fitness and, if applicable, your race schedule. The features of the Garmin Fenix 8 smartwatch are suitable for both beginner and advanced runners.
High durability and long battery life make the Garmin Fenix 8 ideal for outdoor activities. For these purposes, the smartwatch is equipped with an electromagnetic compass sensor with automatic tilt correction, a barometric pressure sensor, an altimeter, and a depth gauge. Detailed topographic maps of Europe are preloaded in the Garmin watch's memory, with the option to download detailed maps of other continents. The watch can navigate you precisely using the map, including detailed navigation instructions when following a selected route. Routes can be planned directly on the watch, in the Garmin Connect mobile app, or using the popular Czech Mapy.cz app. A satellite receiver with support for GPS/GLONASS/GALILEO satellite systems and a multi-band GPS receiver ensures accurate position calculation. Optimal satellite reception is ensured by SatIQ technology, which can automatically switch between multiple satellite signal reception modes to optimise accuracy and save power. A very practical feature of the watch is the built-in LED torch with red and white light and adjustable intensity.
The watch's long battery life, which lasts up to 360 hours, lets you wear it for several days without needing to take it off for frequent charging. The watch is therefore able to continuously measure and record daily and nightly health and activity data. This primarily includes values for heart rate, heart rate variability, blood oxygen saturation, breathing rate, daily step count, floors climbed, and minutes of intense activity. From these measured metrics, the watch derives other functions and metrics, such as Body Battery, Stress Score, heart rate variability status, temperature and altitude acclimatisation status, and more. The group of health monitoring functions also includes features for measuring sleep duration and quality. In addition to an overall sleep quality score, the Garmin Fenix 8 also measures individual sleep stages, including short naps, and provides recommendations for achieving better sleep and recovery.
The Garmin Fenix 8 watch can be paired with smartphones running Android or iOS. On both platforms, the watch offers Bluetooth calling directly from your wrist, thanks to the built-in microphone and speaker (the watch does not have a built-in SIM card and requires a connected compatible smartphone nearby for the calling function). On both platforms, it's a given that you can display notifications and incoming calls on the watch screen. If you own an Android phone, you can also reply to messages directly from the watch screen. With the Garmin Fenix 8, you can also record short voice notes or use voice assistant services.
Popular features include contactless NFC payments with Garmin Pay, which lets you add a digital copy of your regular payment card to the Fenix 8 (if your card supports the feature) and then pay with the watch in a similar way to using a payment card. Another popular gadget on the watch is the built-in music player with support for offline listening from services like Spotify, Deezer, or Amazon Music. You can easily connect wireless headphones to your Garmin Fenix 8 via Bluetooth and listen to music even without your phone.
For communication with a smartphone and for long-term storage of measured data, the Garmin Fenix 8 watch uses the Garmin Connect mobile app, which is available for free download. Both the app and the user interface of the Garmin Fenix 8 smartwatch are fully localised into English.
