How is the Fenix 8 AMOLED different from the Fenix 7?

The Fenix 8 adds a speaker and microphone for wrist calls, an LED flashlight and dive features, and moves to the AMOLED display on this version. It also keeps the sapphire lens and titanium bezel.

Does the AMOLED screen hurt battery life?

Yes. The bright AMOLED display uses more power than the solar MIP screens on other Fenix models, so you charge more often, especially with always-on mode.

Can I take calls on the watch?

Yes. The built-in speaker and microphone let you answer and make calls from the watch when it is paired to your phone.

Is it suitable for diving?

It is water resistant to 100 m and includes a depth sensor and dive features, so it covers recreational diving as well as swimming.

What maps come preloaded?

TopoActive and Ski maps are preloaded, with dynamic round-trip routing for planning routes on the watch.

Will the 51 mm case fit a small wrist?

It is the largest Fenix 8 size at 51 mm wide and 14.7 mm thick. Shoppers with smaller wrists often prefer the 43 mm or 47 mm versions.
