Garmin Fenix 8 43mm AMOLED Multisport GPS Smartwatch

The Garmin Fenix 8 43mm AMOLED Multisport GPS Smartwatch is a multisport watch with compact styling for smaller wrists, a dive-rated case and a metal sensor guard. Its silicone band closes on wrists from 108 to 182 mm, and the titanium version weighs 60 g. Gym days bring animated cardio, strength, yoga and Pilates workouts that play out move by move on the screen. You can reach select watch controls by voice with no phone in range. The built-in flashlight offers variable intensities and a red safety light. Silver with a whitestone band, carbon gray DLC titanium and soft gold are the finishes to choose from.

The Fenix 8 multisport GPS smartwatch is built for serious athletes and outdoor adventurers who want to push beyond their limits. It features a bright 1.3 in. AMOLED display and built-in LED flashlight for after-dark visibility. A built-in speaker and mic enable you to make and take calls from your wrist when your watch is paired to your smartphone. Power up your body's performance, endurance and resistance to injury with the latest in targeted strength training plans plus a full range of sport-specific workouts.

Performance insights help manage your exertion and build stamina, while training readiness features show how much recovery time you need between workouts, based on 24/7 health and wellness monitoring of heart rate, respiration, stress, sleep and more (data presented is intended to be a close estimation of metrics tracked). Take to the trails with built-in ABC sensors and TopoActive maps that can be easily downloaded via Wi-Fi connectivity.

The dynamic round-trip routing feature helps simplify the planning of your runs or rides, letting you set your target distance and receive turn-by-turn directions that adjust to get you back to your start on schedule. Enjoy extended off-grid adventures with up to 10 days of battery life in smartwatch mode. Plus, a 40-meter dive rating and leakproof metal buttons let you reach new depths of adventure.
