"It is Garmin's top model and designed to be the only tool you need to more-or-less go anywhere and track anything. That makes it an extremely pricey proposition starting at 1,030 (1,200, $1,200, A$2,300) for the 47mm OLED version and stretching to a colossal 1,730 (2,000/$2,000/A$3,399) for the 51mm version with microLED display almost twice the price of the regular Fenix 8. You do get a lot of watch for your money with best-in-class workout, activity and adventure tracking."
Garmin Fenix 8 Pro introduces built-in inReach LTE (4G) and satellite communications for phone-free messaging, calls and live tracking, requiring a separate subscription. The watch is offered only in 47mm and 51mm cases, with an optional microLED screen on a special edition, and is thicker and slightly heavier than the standard Fenix 8. The 47mm OLED model delivers around eight to nine days of smartwatch use with the screen always on. Full offline global maps are included to guide users without a phone. The device focuses on best-in-class workout, activity and adventure tracking and commands a premium price, with plans starting at 7.99 or equivalent.
