Meet The New Garmin Fenix 8 43 Smartwatch

The Fenix 8 is coming and we have all the key information you’ve been waiting for on the hugely anticipated smartwatch of 2024.

When shopping for a modern cutting-edge smartwatch, you can easily lose yourself in Garmin’s impressively vast catalogue. You can peruse everything from simple health and fitness trackers to high-end tool watches built using premium materials. These models are specifically designed for sports and geared towards active individuals. There are also smartwatches for aviation, golf and diving, to mention just a few examples.

The Garmin Fenix 7 Pro is a good example of a premium smartwatch. The high-end version from the popular Fenix series, up to now, has been the Fenix 7 Pro Sapphire Solar Edition, featuring solar-powered technology for improved battery power and GPS technology for an endless array of outdoor ventures and activities. If you’re looking for easy access to basics like pace, elapsed time, elevation and distance, and data fields, a watch from the Garmin Fenix series is perfect for you. The collection offers solar-powered models, as well as sapphire additions and standard iterations, not forgetting several sizes including 42mm, 47mm and 51mm. Fibre-reinforced polymer cases, titanium elements, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and superior software are all guaranteed in a watch from the Fenix series depending on the model you choose.

Making that decision-making process easier is the fact that Garmin has released a new version of the Fenix. The Garmin Fenix 8 smartwatch has an aggressive and technical aesthetic with a clean, simplified construction and a crisp sapphire crystal glass front that protects a highly legible AMOLED display. As well as effortless readability, additional features like a built-in LED flashlight and a menu of sophisticated health and fitness-related apps make this watch one of the most desirable adventure watches on the entire market right now. What’s more, the Fenix 8 comes in a compact 43mm size, making it perfect for those with slender wrists. We’re going to look at this model in a little more detail now.

The Garmin Fenix 8 43mm

The new 43mm-sized Garmin Fenix 8 is the most compact of all three models that have been released and features a bezel crafted from titanium or steel. The watch also features a 40-meter water-resistant capability, making it perfect for light water exposure and trekking through muddy environments. Thanks to the robust case of the watch, Garmin specialists have been able to equip its exterior with metal buttons that are leakproof for operating the watch effortlessly in wet environments. Given the brand’s history with GPS functionality, it comes as no surprise that the new Garmin Fenix 8 43mm smartwatch has exceptional navigational capability. For hikers, walkers, runners, cyclists, professional athletes and triathletes, this is a winning feature that serves as a handy tool during training. Battery life is now better than ever too – another feature that goes hand in hand with the watch’s multiband GPS functionality. This SatIQ technology assists with all your navigational requirements while enjoying the great outdoors without sapping battery power. While out on trails, the tracking locks into satellites immediately. 

Navigational Superiority 

The new Garmin Fenix 8 has next-level advanced tracking capabilities. This tracking system monitors daily biometric data along with TopoActive maps that enable you to download maps from anywhere around the world, at any point in time. You can also plan your treks, hikes, cycles and routes at the same time as setting target distances and utilising the watch’s integrated gyroscope, barometer, altimeter and built-in compass. The multi-band GPS technology ensures faultless positioning accuracy no matter where in the world you are, while its turn-by-turn technology ensures you’ll never get lost and that you’ll always stay on track. 

Battery Power

The navigational capabilities of the new Garmin Fenix 8 smartwatch would be no use, however, without the advantage of good battery power. Garmin’s battery life capabilities are just one element that sets the company’s models apart compared to other smartwatches on the market. This 43mm model promises a battery power of 10 days in smartwatch mode and 28 hours in GPS mode. 

Health and Fitness Training 

The Garmin Fenix 8 smartwatch promises a whole host of impressive health and fitness-related features that enable you to train effectively and prime your body to the required fitness levels you want. You can track all your performance with insights into your progress while improving endurance and reducing the risk of injury at the same time. Your exertion and stamina levels can also be tailored, while guidance on recovery intervals between your training sessions can ensure you get the most out of your fitness regime. The Fenix 8 also promises 24/7 health metrics that you can track at any point. These include sleep, stress, heart rate, and respiration rate. 

Making Calls and Messaging

The Fenix 8 allows you to make phone calls while on the go when synced to your smartphone. You don’t even need to get it out of your pocket. Make voice commands and carry out all your work-related communication easily and effectively. The off-grid feature also enables you to make calls and messages, even when you aren’t near to your phone. As with all Fenix watches, you get to enjoy other features too. Just some examples include Garmin Pay, for effortless and quick contactless payments, and a crisp bright 1.3-inch AMOLED display for easy access to all your daily health metrics and sports apps.

If the Garmin Fenix 8 smartwatch sounds perfect for you. You’re not the only one. The watch is expected to be one of Garmin’s most successful and popular lifestyle products yet.
