Garmin Fenix 8 43mm AMOLED Silver/Whitestone Band
Garmin Fenix 8 - a watch for sport and society
The Garmin Fenix series is an iconic range of 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 wrists. The Garmin Fenix 8 is fitted with 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 up with gestures when you raise and turn your wrist with the Garmin watch towards your face. During sports activities, you can independently set whether the display should turn off or remain permanently visible. The display is protected by mineral glass hardened with Corning® Gorilla® Glass technology. One of the main innovations of the Fenix 8 model is the colour touchscreen, which has grown to 1.3” in diameter compared to the previous model. The larger display affects the bezel design, which is thinner, giving the watch a more elegant look. The quick-change strap system also lets you switch between different strap colours or materials to suit your mood or outfit. The Garmin Fenix 8 uses straps compatible with the QuickFit 20mm system.

Sports features for beginners and advanced athletes
Sports use is one of 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 useful 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. New to the Fenix 8 model are dive computer functions for recreational freediving and scuba diving to a depth of 40 metres. The watch is now fitted with inductive buttons with haptic feedback and increased water resistance. Even underwater, the watch can be fully controlled using the buttons without fear of damage.
The Garmin Fenix 8 watch measures a range of other metrics
The sports features of the Garmin Fenix 8 smartwatch also include estimates of fitness metrics, training readiness status, or for example, 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 schedule. The features of the Garmin Fenix 8 smartwatch are suitable for both beginners and advanced runners.
Outdoor features will draw you into nature
High durability and long battery life make the watch ideal for outdoor activities. For this purpose, the Garmin Fenix 8 watch 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 has pre-loaded 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 while on a route. You can plan routes directly on the watch, in the Garmin Connect mobile app, or 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. SatIQ technology ensures optimal satellite reception settings, automatically switching 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.
Garmin Fenix 8 provides more accurate health monitoring for a healthier lifestyle
The long battery life of the Garmin Fenix 8 allows for all-day wear without the need to take it off frequently for charging. The watch is therefore able to continuously measure and record daily and nightly health and activity data. This primarily includes 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 values, such as Body Battery, Stress Score, Heart Rate Variability Status, Acclimatisation Status to temperature and altitude, and more. The group of health monitoring functions also includes features for measuring sleep duration and quality. In addition to the duration and Sleep Score value, the Garmin Fenix 8 watch also measures individual sleep stages, short naps, and provides recommendations for achieving better quality sleep and recovery.
Smart features to make your daily life easier
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, you can of course 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 memos or use voice assistant services.
The Garmin Fenix 8 smartwatch supports Garmin Pay
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 the 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 via Bluetooth and listen to music even without your phone.
Garmin Connect app for storing measured data
To communicate 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 as a free download. The app and the user interface of the Garmin Fenix 8 smartwatch are fully localised into Czech.
A range of useful apps
For Fenix 8 watch users, Garmin provides these useful mobile apps:
- Garmin Connect – training diary and data logger for data measured by the watch. It lets you plan workouts and routes, analyse measured data, and share records with friends.
- Connect IQ – a mobile app that lets you download new watch faces, features, and apps created not only by Garmin, but also by external developers and users.
- Garmin Golf – an app for golfers. It provides analysis and statistics of data that the watch can automatically record during a game.
- Garmin Dive – an app for divers. It enables dive planning, and stores and displays detailed records of completed dives.
- Garmin Messenger – a mobile communication app and also a watch app that lets you, for example, reply to text messages from the watch even when using an iOS phone. The app also serves as a communication gateway when using Garmin InReach satellite communicators.
