There is no other watch on the market that can hold a candle to the Fenix 8. From the ridiculously long battery life to the multitude of helpful everyday functions, it just cannot be beat! It also looks amazing, can be easily adapted for a very professional look!

Although the longer battery life is very helpful, the screen is just not clear and seems very pixelated. I ended up returning and getting thr AMOLED version and haven't been happier.
