The fēnix® 8 Pro multisport GPS smartwatch is a breakthrough for serious runners, climbers, watersport athletes and others challenged to stay in contact where it’s impractical to carry a phone. This is the first Garmin smartwatch with built-in inReach® technology for satellite and LTE connectivity (active subscription required; coverage limitations may apply; some jurisdictions regulate or prohibit the use of satellite communication devices). Leave your phone behind, and access voice calls and LiveTrack™ location sharing when you’re connected to an LTE network. Or utilize two-way messaging and interactive SOS messaging capability during an outdoor adventure from either an LTE or satellite link — with emergency SOS support from the 24/7 Garmin ResponseSM coordination center. This rugged watch brings forward all the advanced fitness/strength training, health monitoring, mapping, round-trip routing and other key features from the fēnix 8 watch line along with a full range of sport-specific workouts. Premium touches include a bright 1.4" AMOLED display, titanium bezel, scratch-resistant sapphire lens and powerful built-in LED flashlight. It also has up to 27 days of battery life in smartwatch mode, a 40-meter dive rating, music storage and more.
