I bought the Fenix 8 51 amoled! Far too many bugs!! The watch at night is unreadable due to auto-deeming (i have set mine in highest brightness but it deems so much that I can’t use it.. never had this issue with Fenix7X or EpixPro 51 amoled) Aldo the watch lags in many functions e.g on the screen you change watchfaces.. it’s ridiculous for such an expensive piece of tech!
I went with Enduro 3. And I'm very happy so far. I do miss my AMOLED display but my only real gripes are the battery seems to be going down faster than predicted. UA-cam music is non existent in the connect store which worked on my previous Garmin Fenix 7pro. I feel like the 51mm should have a 1.5 inch display. And it's definitely laggy compared to the previous version. It's probably time to upgrade the processor! But I'm just being critical. I do love the watch so far.
Very nice review! I think Garmin should finally release LTE version of Fenix and Tactix. I think Tactix 9 LTE Sapphire Solar will be the one to get but it is probably two, maybe three years away.
@thomasusheriii971 Yeah, that would be so nice! Can you imagine not having to bring your cell phone or your wallet with you when going out? A dream come true.😊
answering calls though is awesome and alarms are great along w the alarm sound's and features. needs an update. i havnt seen the gps features selection?
Hi, great video I just want to know some more feature regarding receiving calls. Normally i wear wireless bluetooth, so if i answer the incoming call from the watch, so the voice of the other person will come from the watch, mobile or my connected wireless bluetooth? If, by answering the call from the watch, the voice of other person comes from the watch, so does the watch has the option to switch the voice of other person to my connected bluetooth from the watch itself..? Or do i need to pull out my phone from my pocket to do so..? Please make a detail video of it Thanks....
I really appreciate your efforts. Everywhere I look, I see this comment on all the videos. I think it would be much better if you went to a store and asked this question. You obviously can't find an answer.
True. I've just always loved Garmin Watches. Plus I've had great customer service with them. They replaced an Enduro 2 that was 1.5 years old with a new one because of a mushy button
Haha I had the amoled and want to go back to the MIP. I’ve used apple amoled for years and those look so much better than the garmin amoled but garmins MIP is still nice in my opinion.
I'll just add here. I can't get over how slowly this menu works and in how many times there are these stutters. I like everything about this watch, even the quiet speaker or the high price is not a big problem in my eyes. However, I can't bring myself to buy a device in 2024, which in basic usage it stutters so often and works like with a processor from the previous decade 💀I will wait for further updates, I hope that the situation will change.
@@noisetin waiting for next Gen with better processor is smart. Some of us are just suckers for the latest and greatest 😂. Notice how this watch is still sold out in most places a month after release.
@@thomasusheriii971 I don't blame you! 😄As for the looks, the F8 looks absolutely fantastic. The functions like diving and flashlight are also great. I just can't get over these OS stutters. I'll be watching the state of the software.

I love the smaller bezels compared to the Epix2 series.

@ermin3963 Glad you liked the review. They may just add Lte in the Tactix 8 or Fenix 8 Pro Variants. You never know.

Can you get the Tactix 7 amoled watch face for the Fenix 8?

Nothing really new. Sooo expensive. You can buy 3 Suunto race s for that price. And the Suunto is sooo good.

I dont understand the small screen in the big housing.
I have the amoled version. You can’t go back to MIP. And the solar on MIP is a gimmick as it doesn’t really charge the watch.
Haha I had the amoled and want to go back to the MIP. I’ve used apple amoled for years and those look so much better than the garmin amoled but garmins MIP is still nice in my opinion.
Anoled lags when going from one screen to another screen . widget or application.. weird . maybe an update ?
They need to hurry up with the tactix 8.
fenix 8 Amoled 51mm or Epix Pro Gen 2 Amoled 51mm?
Epix pro gen 2 51mm sapphire! Much better than the 8.
Does the 51 have a bigger screen then the 47 one or just bigger case for the battery?
from what I read the 47 and the 51 have the same size screen, bigger battery on the 51
@@tb693ny6 Though so, thx!
Those lags and microfreezes on a $1.2k watch 💀
It's mostly just laggy with changing watch faces, but I agree that when paying $1200, you would expect perfection.

@@thomasusheriii971 I will be watching your channel with interest and your next look at F8 again in, say, a month with more patches.

Do you know how to clear the phone call history off the 8 please
I believe that needs to be done through the Garmin Connect App.
Tried everything can’t work it out 🤦🏻♂️
@dsj4289 sorry, I'm not sure. I'll let you know if I figure it out
Ok thank you

Sorry, my channel is not dedicated to sports and excersize exclusively. Hence, the name "A little Bit Of Everything"
Is this shit 800 bucks? ROFL
$1,200 😂😂😂
