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 wealth of smart features, and compatibility with both iOS and Android smartphones. The 47mm size is suitable for medium to large 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 smartwatch mode. With Power Sapphire™ solar charging, the smartwatch's battery life can be extended to up to 28 days. The Garmin watch uses a system of quick-change straps, allowing you to switch between different colours or strap materials to suit your mood or outfit. The watch uses straps compatible with the QuickFit 22mm system.
This watch is from European distribution, is fully localised and comes with a full warranty. This is a limited stock offer and does not include a voucher for the Topo Czech map.
Sports functionality is one of the main reasons to choose a Garmin Fenix series 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. New to the Fenix 8 model are diving computer functions for recreational freediving and scuba diving to a depth of 40 metres. The watch is newly 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 sports features of the Garmin Fenix 8 smartwatch also include estimates of fitness metrics, training readiness status, or training load focus, for example. Using daily training recommendations, the Garmin Coach feature, or race training plans, the watch can automatically suggest running training plans based on your fitness and, if applicable, your race schedule, which adapt to you individually. The features of the Garmin Fenix 8 smartwatch are suitable for both beginner 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 has 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 detailed turn-by-turn directions when following a route. Routes can be planned directly on the watch, in the Garmin Connect mobile app, or using the popular Czech app Mapy.cz. Precise position calculation is ensured by a satellite receiver with support for GPS/GLONASS/GALILEO satellite systems and a multi-band GPS receiver. Optimal satellite reception settings are handled by SatIQ technology, which can automatically switch between multiple satellite signal reception modes to optimise accuracy and save energy. A very practical tool on the watch is the built-in LED torch with red and white light and adjustable intensity.
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 steps, floors climbed, and minutes of intense activity. From the measured data, 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 health monitoring feature set also includes functions for measuring sleep duration and quality. In addition to duration and a Sleep Quality Score, the Garmin Fenix 8 watch also measures individual sleep stages, short naps, and provides recommendations for achieving better sleep and recovery.
The Garmin Fenix 8 watch can be connected to smartphones with both Android and iOS operating systems. On both platforms, thanks to the built-in microphone and speaker, the watch offers 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, the ability to display notifications and incoming calls on the watch screen is a given. If you own an Android phone, you can also reply to messages directly from the watch display. With the Garmin Fenix 8, you can also record short voice notes or use voice assistant services.
Popular features include contactless Garmin Pay, which lets you add a copy of your regular payment card to your 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 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.
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 Czech.
