EVERY SECOND COUNTS

Sports watches just got smarter! As well as track exercise, measure health metrics and sync with phone apps, they now boast longer-reach connectivity, better battery life, new sleep insights and more

What the brand says: Designed for pursuits that make it impractical to carry a phone, the Garmin Fenix 8 Pro series are the first GPS smartwatches to feature inReach technology for cellular and satellite connectivity - letting athletes leave their phone behind while staying in touch when both on and off grid. It’s loaded with Garmin’s full suite of performance, navigation, health, wellness and connected features, including endurance score, hill score, daily suggested workouts, preloaded TopoActive Maps, the Garmin ECG App, sleep coach, Garmin Pay, tracking features and more.

What we say: If you're like us, you want to spend your time running on the roads and trails, and not at home charging or syncing your sports watch. With the Garmin Fēnix 8 Pro, setup couldn't be simpler - you just log on to Garmin Connect and let it sync with the watch - and the battery life is beyond fantastic. Indeed, we haven't had to charge it yet, two weeks (and many, many miles) into using the device.
