Details about the Garmin fenix 8 Pro AMOLED Sapphire GPS Smartwatch

The smartwatch has been tested to U.S. military standards for thermal performance, shock resistance, and waterproofness.

Need help? Trigger an interactive SOS emergency call and receive assistance in an emergency from the 24/7 Garmin Response Center for emergency coordination.
• DLC: Diamond Like Carbon is a carbon coating that protects the watch’s surface from scratches and abrasion. It increases durability while helping to preserve the watch’s premium look over the long term.
• Satellite Messaging: When you’re out in remote areas—including up to 80 kilometers offshore—you can use the smartwatch’s inReach technology to send messages and receive location check-ins once a satellite connection is established. No smartphone connection is required.
• LTE Connection: Running ? Or a swim? Just leave your smartphone at home and use your smartwatch’s LTE connection to send messages and make voice calls. Plus, friends can track your location via LiveTrack™ and location check-ins—all through the Garmin Messenger™ app. You can even check weather conditions and forecasts.
• Phone Calls and Voice Assistant: Use the LTE connection to make calls directly from your smartwatch without carrying your smartphone. You can also control watch functions with voice commands, even without your smartphone. Or use your smartphone’s voice assistant to reply to text messages, for example.
• Dynamic RoundTrip Routing: View terrain contours on TopoActive maps and access preloaded maps for golf courses and ski slopes around the world. With dynamic RoundTrip Routing, enter your desired distance and receive route suggestions from your smartwatch to ensure you return to the starting point on time.
• Voice Calls Without a Smartphone: When an LTE connection is available, you can make and receive voice calls with other users of the Garmin Messenger app via the Messenger Calls app on your smartwatch. You don’t need your smartphone for this.
• Send messages on the go: Using a satellite or LTE connection, you can share messages with other users of the Garmin Messenger app directly from your smartwatch. The app automatically syncs your contacts when the smartwatch is paired with your smartphone.
• No need to switch carriers: You activate your subscription through Garmin, not your mobile carrier, so you can seamlessly access inReach services via your smartwatch connection.
• Save battery life: The fēnix® 8 Pro uses an LTE-M network that consumes less power and conserves the smartwatch’s rechargeable battery. This lets you enjoy your adventures longer.
• LiveTrack: The LTE connection lets friends track your adventures—simply share your location via LiveTrack using the Garmin Messenger app on your smartphone. The app also lets you notify your friends when you’ve started a LiveTrack session. Then they can follow your activity or contact you while you’re on the go.
