<p>Less charging means more playing. Updated with high efficiency solar ring, the Solar editions of the Fenix 8 make the most out of their time in the sun. By increasing the power of the solar panel ring, the Fenix 8 Solar has a brighter screen and more runtime than previous solar versions. A true evolution of the already impressive fēnix 7, the 8 borrows navigation features from Garmin’s top-tier Marq line, and training features from the iconic Forerunner line. SatIQ tackles the challenge of balancing GPS power and battery life, automatically matching your signal to your environment. The onboard multiband GPS pulls in speed, distance, and location data. While the optical heart rate monitor and other sensors pay attention to how you train. The Morning Report is back to help you start your day, and now has even more detail about your training readiness and recovery. When you need extra information, or motivation, you can download training plans through Garmin Connect. And, classic smartwatch features help you stay connected, stream music, receive notifications, track the weather and more.</p><ul><li>Lightweight titanium bezel is paired with a virtually scratchproof sapphire crystal face</li><li>Power Sapphire™ solar panel lets you go longer between charges, from 1 hour to 87 days or longer</li><li>Sun gauge displays solar charge status</li><li>MIP display is power efficient, while still being full colour and easy to read</li><li>Microphone and speaker let you use your smartphone’s voice assistant (Siri Google Assistant, etc.), take calls, and even control your watch with your voice – no phone required</li><li>Built-in activity modes for biking, running, walking, multisport, swimming (indoor and outdoor), gym activities, skiing (2000+ ski resort maps), golf (preloaded with 43,000 courses) and more</li><li>Activity animations guide you through proper form for strength training, cardio, Pilates and yoga</li><li>Free TopoActive maps provide turn-by-turn directions in the city, and features like Nextfork™ keep you on track in the backcountry</li><li>Round-trip mapping: choose a distance and get course options that start and stop in the same spot – great for set-distance runs</li><li>Trendline™ routing uses Garmin user data to find the most popular route</li><li>Multi-band signal reception and expanded GNSS support (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS and IRNSS) provide faster and more accurate positioning and elevation data</li><li>SatIQ™ matches your environment with the right GPS mode; flat land gets a low power signal, head into the mountains and your signal is boosted</li><li>Stream and download using Spotify (premium required), Amazon Music, and more, or add MP3s from your computer</li><li>Holds thousands of songs so you can leave the phone at home, just pair your Bluetooth™ headphones and hit play</li><li>Dive rated to 40m with sealed metal buttons</li><li>ClimbPro™ shows grade, total ascent and current position on an elevation profile</li><li>PacePro™, set your desired pace, then compare it to your distance splits, the fēnix 8 compares your needed pace vs your goal pace for each split and for the course</li><li>Running dynamics info right off your wrist, providing running power, cadence, ground contact time, stride length, vertical oscillation, vertical ratio and ground contact time</li><li>Morning report summarizes sleep quality, recovery level, training effects, and provides a personalized daily workout</li><li>Body Battery™ tracks daily energy levels, monitoring what drains your energy (exercise) and recharges your energy (rest, food), letting you train smarter</li><li>Garmin Pay™, make payments with your watch (if supported by your bank)</li><li>Strava Segment integration (requires premium) preloaded or on-the-fly through your phone, shows starred segments and results</li><li>LiveTrack™, share your location and fitness data during activities (through a phone)</li><li>Elevate™ 5.0 optical heart rate monitor has improved accuracy, more sensors for precise Pulse Ox data, and works while swimming</li><li>Heart rate variability (HRV) monitoring is a great tool to predict recovery and how your body is responding to your training</li><li>Physiological data: VO2 max, a visual race predictor, real-time stamina tracking, recovery advisor and performance indicator</li><li>Training readiness, training status, and training load modes use data from your recent workouts to let you know how ready your body is to train, and if you are overtraining, under-training, or on the right path</li><li>Incident detection detects an accident and uses you phone alert predefined emergency contacts</li><li>24/7 activity tracking learns your activity level and guides you towards a more active lifestyle</li><li>Sleep tracking shows total sleep hours as well as movement and restful sleep</li><li>ABC data comes in via the internal altimeter, barometer and a tilt-compensated compass</li><li>LED flashlight</li><li>Rechargeable battery lasts up to 65 hours with multi-band GPS, 149 hours with standard GPS, or up to 48 days in smartwatch mode</li><li>In the box: fēnix 8 Sapphire Solare, charging cable and documentation</li></ul>
