The Garmin Fenix 8 brings the Garmin Fenix 7 Pro and Garmin Epix Pro under one banner, meaning that for the first time you can buy a Garmin Fenix with an AMOLED screen. There is still the option of a traditional memory-in-pixel display on the Garmin Fenix 8 solar, which also has solar-charging to boost battery life.

Other upgrades with the Fenix 8 include a new mic and speaker, plus a more waterproof design that can be using for diving to depths of 40m. Garmin has also updated the user interface and navigation features on the watches, and increased the battery life.
