The Ultimate Sports Companion: Garmin Fenix 8 Review

Twenty years ago, the most advanced sports watches simply told us how far we’d gone. Then came heart rate tracking, and it felt revolutionary. Fast forward to today, and the evolution of sports watches has been nothing short of remarkable. Modern devices, like the Garmin Fenix 8, deliver an array of health, fitness, and performance metrics that rival a personal coach—and even a survival guide.

Its robust design, user-friendly interface, and unmatched range of features—like wellness monitoring, advanced training tools, and even a flashlight—take performance enhancement to a new level.


We had the chance to test the Garmin Fenix 8, and while its R27,000 price tag initially felt steep, it left us convinced of its value for those serious about their health and performance. It's more than a watch; it's a game-changer.
