For several years, Garmin would publish an annual update of his Fenix line to do everything Its Epix line Which was, in fact, just a fenix with an Amoled screen. Well, Garmin finally decided to consolidate and the Fenix is now the only line to govern them all. And I mean that, because it is very literally the best watch I have ever carried, but it comes with a high price. Not only can you now choose between a shiny and colored amoled screen or a solar load display with a breathtaking battery life, but there are new features that make the last Fenix even more versatile.
To start, the Fenix 8 has rocked the depth sensor of its descent line, which means that this everyday watch now works as a complete diving computer of recreational diving as well as the apidage. The watch also offers a microphone and a speaker. This allows you to create basic vocal commands (start an activity, modify modes, define a timer, open the stopwatch, etc.), record vocal notes and even respond to a telephone call that I have used several times while I shower (note: still no cell connectivity, however, which is a disappointment). He also has an integrated LED flashlight (three levels of white and a red to maintain the night vision) that I ended up using all the time. He also has integrated topographic cards, 24/7 health surveillance, a lifespan of more than 15 days and follow -up for more than a hundred different activities.
The Fenix 8 is available in sizes 43 mm, 47 mm and 51 mm and is available in AMOLED and Solar screen options. Personally, I think that Amoled is the way to follow because it looks so good and loading it once every two weeks is not a big problem, but if you are going to go hiking a month in the hinterland, the solar edition of 51 mm begins with a full month of battery life (up to 48 days with regular sun exposure). It’s expensive, but it’s fantastic.– Roseuse pink
