Koho zajímá EU distribuce bez českých topografických map? To je pak mám jako dokupovat za další tisíce? Do už tak drahých hodinek? Alza zklamala, dnes kupuji u konkurence. Bohužel.


The Garmin Fenix series is an iconic line of smartwatches known for their high durability, long battery life, and versatile use for sports and outdoor activities. They also offer continuous measurement of a wide range of health data, an elegant design, a rich array of smart features, and compatibility with both iOS and Android smartphones. The 47mm size is suitable for medium to larger wrists. The Garmin Fenix 8 is fitted with a durable titanium bezel and a transflective display with solar charging. One of the main advantages of the Fenix 8 (47mm) model is its extremely long battery life, which can power the watch for up to 21 days on a single charge in smartwach mode. Plus, thanks to Power Sapphire™ solar charging, the smartwatch's battery life can be extended to up to 28 days. Garmin watches use a quick-release strap system, letting you switch between different colours or strap materials to match your mood or outfit. The watch uses straps compatible with the QuickFit 22mm 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.


The sports features are among the main reasons to choose 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 is suitable for most sports activities, both indoor and outdoor. The activities where the watch is most commonly used include: walking, running, cycling, swimming, skiing, triathlon, rowing, strength training, yoga, golf, and many other sports. A new feature of the Fenix 8 model is the dive computer function for recreational freediving and scuba diving to a depth of 40 metres. The watch is now equipped with haptic-feedback induction buttons and increased water resistance. Even underwater, the watch can be fully operated using the buttons without fear of damage.


The sports functions of the Garmin Fenix 8 smartwatch also include estimates of fitness metrics, training readiness status, and training load focus. Using daily workout suggestions, the Garmin Coach feature, or race training plans, the watch can automatically suggest running training plans that adapt to you individually based on your fitness and, if applicable, your race plan. The features of the Garmin Fenix 8 smartwatch are suitable for both beginners and advanced runners.
High durability and long battery life make the watch ideal for outdoor activities. For these purposes, the Garmin Fenix 8 is equipped with an electromagnetic compass sensor with automatic tilt correction, a barometric pressure sensor, an altimeter, and a depth gauge. The Garmin watch's memory comes with preloaded detailed topographic maps of Europe, with the option to download detailed maps of other continents. The watch can provide detailed navigation over the map, including turn-by-turn navigation instructions when following a route. You can plan routes directly on the watch, in the Garmin Connect mobile app, or even using the popular Czech app Mapy.cz. Precise positioning is provided by a satellite receiver with support for GPS/GLONASS/GALILEO satellite systems and a multi-channel Multiband GPS receiver. 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 tool on the watch is the built-in LED torch with red and white light and adjustable brightness.

The long battery life of the Garmin Fenix 8 means you can wear the watch all day without having to take it off frequently to charge. The watch can therefore continuously measure and record your health and activity data, day and night. This primarily includes values for heart rate, heart rate variability, blood oxygen level, breathing rate, daily step count, floors climbed, and minutes of intense activity. From these measured metrics, the watch derives other functions and values, such as Body Battery, Stress Score, HRV Status, temperature and altitude acclimatisation status, and more. Health monitoring functions also include features for measuring sleep duration and quality. In addition to duration and a Sleep Score, the Garmin Fenix 8 watch also measures individual sleep stages and short naps, and provides recommendations for achieving better quality sleep and recovery.

The Garmin Fenix 8 watch can be connected to smartphones with both Android and iOS operating systems. On both platforms, the watch's built-in microphone and speaker offer the ability to make Bluetooth calls directly from your wrist (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 goes without saying that you can view notifications and incoming calls on the watch display. If you own an Android phone, you can also reply to messages directly from the watch display. With the Garmin Fenix 8 watch, you can also record short voice notes or use the services of a voice assistant.


Popular features include contactless Garmin Pay, which lets you add a digital copy of your regular payment card to your Fenix 8 watch (if your card supports the feature) and then pay with your watch in a similar way to using a payment card. Another popular gadget is the built-in music player with support for offline listening from Spotify, Deezer or Amazon Music. Simply connect wireless headphones to your Garmin Fenix 8 watch 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. The app and the user interface of the Garmin Fenix 8 smartwatch are fully localised into English.

Garmin provides these useful mobile apps for Fenix 8 watch users:
