Why We Like The Garmin fenix 8 AMOLED Sapphire Sport Watch
Whatever plateau we're breaking through, Garmin's fenix 8 AMOLED Sapphire Sport Watch is tracking and driving our every step. The bomber, submersible construction meets the moxie required for rugged terrain and technical pursuits, while the heart rate, ECG, and blood oxygen saturation metrics clue us in to how our body is handling the demands. With 145 hours of juice in max battery GPS mode, this watch outlasts the sun time and time again, while the built-in LED flashlight comes to save the day when our headlamp flickers out. However deep into the backcountry we go, the SatIQ tech keeps our position locked in without draining the battery.

When the watch face dims, the time is unreadable.
When the watch face dims, it is 100% unreadable. Sadly, this hasn't been fixed, likely because it will effect the advertised battery life. Whatever the case, there is no one who has been able to read my watch, myself included, without having to bring it right up to your eyes, like someone suffering from blindness. My old Fenix 4, which this one replaced, is easily readable. Garmin, you have 24 days left to fix this or it's getting returned.

Full of bugs
The watch is buggy even with the latest bugfixes. Haptic feedback doesn't work at some apps, crashed a few times already, the battery shows hours of unmeasured results, youtube music is unavailable. Will wait a week and return the watch if I won't see any progress.

Challenging set up
I just spent 3 hours trying to get this watch set up. Online instructions have not been helpful. Not happy with watch faces - unable to figure out how to change or modify data fields. Cannot sync with Garmin bike radar.
