Incorrect before 47mm was 1.2 but now the 47mm is 1.3. The 51 mm was 1.3 but now the 51mm is 1.4 Both the 47&51mm got a .1 increase in screen size.

About skin temperature at 6:44 - no, it's not skin temperature. It's just a temperature from watch's internal temperature sensor, used for calibrating barometer. The same metric was present on older Garmin watches. Basically it shows you the curent temperature inside the watch case. It's recorded as oustide temperature into training files, and can be used to assess water temperature to some extent, while swimming. So no, it's actually a mix of outside temperatures and your wrist temperature, because you heat your watch up while wearing.

Thank you for the review. Looks like getting or keeping the Epix Pro would be perhaps the better choice, making you save a bunch of money without sacrificing much, only voice commands (which are btw finnicky) and dive. It would be great if you could make a comparison with the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra, since you have both. Thanks!

The 51 mm Fenix 8 feels comfortable and looks fine on my 7" wrist. The stock watch faces were a disappointment, but the Connect IQ store has several that look good and are trouble free. There will be many more available in the near future. I had the watch completely lock up when trying several random different functions, but this has happened only twice in the last 4 days, so hopefully software upgrades will remedy that. My previous watch was the Fenix 5X plus, also 51 mm. I bought it new in 2017 and it was trouble free. I'm so far very pleased with the upgrade to the Fenix 8.

Well, I am a die-hard Garmin fanboy. I have always bought the latest and greatest Fenix/Tactix since the Tactix Bravo series... However, I have to admit that this is the first time that I feel that the new model would be a waste of money.... I currently own a Fenix 7 pro and I have to admit that the latest model doesn't offer anything that I don't already have. The MIP screen is a must for me as I usually go on multi-day events such as sailing, hiking or cycling... The Fenix 7 pro already has the 5th heart rate sensor, so that's something I already have. The microphone is completely unnecessary for me. I also appreciate the more mature, more reliable firmware (I used to test betas but there was far too much unnecessary frustration and wasted battery cycles...). So Garmin has made my life easier this time around, because I can't see any advantage with this model compared to my Fenix 7 pro...

Thanks for this review - I am trying to decide between Amoled and MIP screen. One of my biggest frustrations with Amoled has been how deliberately, you need to lift the watch up to activate the screen. Is this smoother and easier on the Fenix 8?

People forget that the oled version is having to push double the amount of pixels versus MIP, which introduces a lot of lag. If I was upgrading I'd go for the new Enduro 3. Better screen than Fenix 7 and Enduro 2, nice thin bezels, new 5th gen HR sensor, lightweight because of the plastic back, and $200 cheaper than the Fenix.
