Garmin has solidified its reputation as the premier smartwatch brand for serious athletes, with the Fenix 8 standing out as its flagship multi-sport model. Known for its rugged durability and extensive feature set, the Fenix 8 is considered unmatched in the high-end smartwatch market.
However, this advanced technology comes at a premium, with prices ranging from $1,000 to $1,200. Now, REI is offering a rare opportunity to save, slashing $200 off three key Fenix 8 models during its Anniversary Sale. This promotion reduces the entry price to $800 for the 47mm Fenix 8 AMOLED, making it more accessible for fitness enthusiasts seeking top-tier performance. The sale is available until June 16, so interested buyers should act quickly.
The discounted models include:
Garmin Fenix 8 AMOLED: Now $800, down from $1,000 (20% off)
Garmin Fenix 8 Solar Sapphire: Now $900, down from $1,100 (18% off)

The Fenix 8 series is offered in two main variants. The AMOLED version boasts a bright, crystal-clear display, while the Solar variant features a solar-charged screen for extended battery life. Both versions come with an optional Sapphire edition, which adds a scratch-resistant sapphire lens for enhanced durability. The Solar model offers an impressive battery life of up to 48 days, compared to the AMOLED’s 29 days.
Size options include 47mm and 51mm models, with a 43mm option also available, though many colors in this size have already sold out.
Beyond its robust design, the Fenix 8 is packed with features tailored for endurance athletes. Garmin’s renowned GPS and navigation systems enable precise tracking for off-grid runs, hikes, and bike rides. The watch includes comprehensive health monitoring tools, providing insights on readiness and stamina to optimize training routines.
Additional conveniences include an integrated flashlight, speakers, and a microphone for hands-free calls. The device is built to endure harsh conditions, with water resistance up to 40 meters.
For those seeking a top-of-the-line fitness smartwatch, the REI Anniversary Sale presents a prime chance to own the Garmin Fenix 8 at a significant discount.
