Garmin’s Fenix 8 series smartwatches, on the market for nearly nine months, have maintained steady pricing—until now. According to historical data from Camelcamelcamel, Amazon had not offered the 47mm AMOLED version for less than $1,050. That has finally changed, as the online retailer has introduced a significant discount.
The Garmin Fenix 8 AMOLED is now available on Amazon for $899 with free shipping, representing a $200 markdown, or nearly 20% off its original MSRP. This reduced price applies to both the 47mm and the smaller 43mm models. Meanwhile, the larger 51mm version is also on sale for $999, down from $1,199.
For users prioritizing battery life over display vibrancy, Garmin’s Fenix 8 Solar offers an appealing alternative. It features similar price cuts, with the 47mm model now selling for $899 and the 51mm variant priced at $999. Despite lacking the colorful AMOLED screen, the Solar version compensates with extended battery performance.
In a recent in-depth review of the Fenix 8 Solar, Garmin’s latest smartwatch was praised for its impressive battery life, especially compared to the Apple Watch Ultra and other high-end outdoor wearables. Reviewers also highlighted the robust feature set and durable build quality. However, drawbacks include the absence of eSIM support, a dated user interface, and a low-resolution memory-in-pixel (MiP) display on the Solar model.
Despite these limitations, both the Fenix 8 AMOLED and Solar editions remain compelling options for outdoor enthusiasts willing to invest in a premium smartwatch—particularly now that they’re available at their lowest prices to date.
