This is Garmin’s all new Epix. But it’s actually the Fenix 8. If that sounds confusing. It’s because it is. Or at least it was. Let me explain.

I will never not be amazed by the quality of your videos. The content of your reviews are always great too!

I like the care and creativity you put in to your videos, Matt. And it is Fun to experiment with fonts. But this experiment proves that you shouldn't use fonts with very thin serifs on a video where you don't know the resolution that people will be viewing it at .🤣

Very well put together video. Thanks for the content. Prefer the slimmer bezel on the 47MM amoled. I know most are hating it but an improvement for me. Look forward to receiving it.

That 43mm version looks awesome! Hope to get it later at some point, not paying retail prices. They are crazy expensive.

Wonderful intro of the Fenix 8. The 100 days is something that I am looking forward to. Comparing the Fenix 7x Pro solar/Epix Pro with Fenix 8 would be good gauge as well on the worth to upgrade maybe. Keep it going Matt!

Would ❤30, 60, 90, and 100-day reviews. Can't get enough of the Summit. Couldn't locate the links, though.

Garmin needs to continue consolidating models and simplifying just choosing a watch. the find a watch system also needs to have the ability to get granular with features so you can eliminate watches that don't have the feature your looking for. too many dam watches probably killed a bunch of sales from analysis paralysis.

I have seen the 8 already, but your video's have the highest b-roll value, just nice to watch ;-)

This is what i call a review: thorough and honest. Ended up in your channel because of the info of the Fenix 8 i was on the lookout for, staying for the quality.

As for the Fenix 8, i was really looking forward to a major upgrade that justifies the price jump, but it's not quite cutting up for me. Perhaps I'll wait for your 100-day review to give it a second chance!

With that price increase Matt they should’ve included LTE in there. Still a big miss from Garmin. And I agree with you, they included the diving stuff because of what Apple did. I think they have to include LTE as well to keep Apple from gaining traction on them because Apple keeps getting closer and closer.

I'm trying REAL HARD to understand what was the purpose of releasing the Garmin Epix Pro (Gen 2) or the Fenix 7 Pro 👉LAST YEAR👈!?
.
I was under the impression that these were LARGE INVESTMENT watches were supposed to have a longer "shelf-life" than 12 months.
.
Also, as someone who purchased the LARGER Epix Pro 51mm (Gen 2), I find it very frustrating to have the larger battery but NO PERSONAL USER CONTROL over "HOW" I prefer to make use of that battery. I can't control inactive AOD screen brightness and I can't control how "I" want SLEEP MODE to operate.🙄

Honestly, searched for your vid before the usual suspects for the production quality. It was worth the wait! I unfortunately don’t see any hardware or software updates that will improve or impact triathlon training, although the extra waterproofed buttons is comforting. Looking forward to pushing buttons underwater

I've been using Garmin Pay since the Fenix 5, it's fantastic.

As i age, i bought the 965 only for the Amoled and size. I like 5 data fields on 1 page and i can now run in the evenings ... not sure why I'm still watching Garmin reviews when i only run 10km maximum nowadays but these Amoled screens are fantastic not only because they make the data fields more legible but you could use your Garmin as a daily watch (to the office even) with the really nice watch faces.

Happy training

I would love to watch a comparison between Fenix E & Garmin EPix Pro Gen 2. Thanks as always for your video

Hey Matt, smooth one! Thanks for the review, now I am sure that I will very calmly stay with my Epix pro. Absolutely no reason to upgrade, as I am rather leaning towards less of a smart watch on my wrist. The enduro remains interesting, but more for mere voyeuristic reasons, I love that Garmin is making this high and specialized versions for those who need both the reliability of the sensor as well as battery life for a month. Great to see both Garmin and you shine.

Excellent review!

My Fenix 6 Pro 47 mm is going strong. It’s my iPhone that drives me bonkers and Apple’s spell check!🤡

At some point, when the price is more reasonable, I’ll consider the Fenix 8 47 mm with the Orange band. 51 mm is too large regardless of the battery. I did not want a speaker or phone features in the Fenix!
