This is the latest Garmin GPS Watch.

I have to say that the orange and graphite band combined with the steel look of the case looks absolutely stunning.

After waiting, and doing lots of research, the fenix 8 doesnt do that much more than a fenix 7, and im glad i waited, i bought a fenix 7 with a huge discount, and im very happy with it, i think garmin are going to be hard pushed to justify the eye watering price of this watch, dont get me wrong, its a great looking piece, BUT, at that price its priced me out, and to be fair, my fenix 7 does exactly what i want it to do.
I might buy one when they bring out a fenix 9 😂

Interested in seeing your opinion on the software quality of the Fenix 8. On the Garmin Forums (and other places) there is a lot of talk about bugs and missing features related to maps and navigation compared to Fenix 7 / Epix Pro (Gen 2): not being able to enable/disable 3rd party maps, missing turn by turn instruction for courses, no elevation profile during an activity, roads on third party maps have thick black borders (also an issue on Fenix / Epix, was an issue on Edge cycling computers but fixed now), no option to see navigation screens, map rendering slowly, to name a few. Interestingly the big fitness YouTubers didn't mention any of this...

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, so does the watch has the option to switch the voice of other person to my connected bluetooth from the watch itself..?
Please make a detail video of it
Thanks....
