Is the Fenix 8 51mm too big for small wrists?

At 51mm it is one of the largest sports watches you can buy. Shoppers with wrists under about 170mm usually prefer the 43mm or 47mm Fenix 8 sizes.

How long does the battery last?

Garmin rates it at up to 29 days in smartwatch mode. GPS and music use drain it much faster, so heavy training days mean charging every week or two.

Is it worth it over the Fenix 7?

The Fenix 8 adds the AMOLED screen, speaker and microphone, dive rating and the flashlight. If you don't need those, a discounted Fenix 7 costs much less.

Can I take it diving?

Yes. It is dive-rated to 40 meters and supports recreational dive activity profiles, unlike earlier Fenix models.

Does it work with iPhone?

Yes. It pairs with both Android and iPhone through the Garmin Connect app, though some messaging replies are more limited on iOS.
