Now with a speaker and microphone, the Garmin Fenix 8 is pretty similar to the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra, but only one wearable is worth buying.

Some say the Fenix 8 doesn't have enough new features, but some of the core changes likely won't ever come to previous generation watches like the Fenix 7 Pro.

Garmin's Fenix 8 has new features that make it comparable to the Apple Watch Ultra 2, but one premium smartwatch still comes out on top.

The Garmin Enduro 3 is the best Garmin watch for people who value battery life above all and still want the top sports tracking and navigation features available from the brand. It’s lighter and cheaper than the Garmin Fenix 8, despite lasting longer, and priced more affordably than the Enduro 2.

The Fenix 8 maintains Garmin’s tradition of rugged construction, featuring a reinforced polymer case with a metal rear cover, similar to the Fenix 7 Pro. It offers premium options, including titanium bezels and sapphire crystal glass, which improve both durability and scratch resistance.

Samsung recently launched the Galaxy Watch Ultra, the company’s premium rugged smartwatch, alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 smartphones. The Galaxy Watch Ultra is the company’s most premium smartwatch offering.
