Great job by developer! Fully customized in Garmin native way and battery friendly.

Very good example of how watch face should work - native way to customize data, accent color etc. I like the way how seconds displays as well as white background mode and night mode with black background.

Does anyone actually use FR970 for swimming? I’m considering using it for pool swimming, but I’m a bit concerned about its waterproofing, even though it’s rated for 5 atm. I’d really appreciate your experience with it.

Looks amazing with black Fenix 8!
That’s original Garmin Chestnut leather case.

PS: Used for a bit but for me it even better for leather!

Looks good. In case someone want to buy it. Really fresh color comparing with black or gray.

So, 4 months passed from a serious leg injury and surgery. 2 months with very limited mobility and 2 months with active rehabilitation. That time was enough to think about my ideal sport watches (I was owned an Enduro 3 but started to think about something smaller but not older in terms of technologies and features). 

I bought and tried (1-2 weeks per each watch to understand what they can do) major brands: Suunto Run and Race 2, Coros APEX 4 (46mm), Amazfit T-Rex 3 Pro (48mm), Garmin Fenix 7 Pro, Forerunner 970, and finally! Fenix 8 AMOLED 47mm (Stainless).

I tried to keep only one (I know, I lost some money on buy/sell deals) to gift myself for my birthday in April, 29 🎉 And finally, I found it :-) I also bought a few different straps with different colors for any mood, and it is so nice! Full set! 

I'm ready to go. Ready to race on my own legs. My way to triathlon and (who knows!) Ironman was started these days with my brand-new Fenix 8!

PS: I'm 49 and everything just started!

Recently, I bought the Fenix 8 47mm AMOLED but in the stainless steel / PowerGlass version. I like the non-sapphire version because of reflections - sapphire is too reflective in the sun. 

But on the other hand, PowerGlass can be scratched (especially in GYM), so I started to think about protecting it with a screen protector. I found a few ones, but I don't like +0.2-0.3mm under the screen.

Then I found my old Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra screen protector (original Samsung) with an Anti-Reflective cover. Why not? 🙃

So I just cut a circle with a diameter the same as the Fenix 8 screen, applied it to the watch, and... it looks awesome! Thin (<0.1mm), great oleophobic cover, and AR cover. Applied very well and easily!

Highly recommend!
