Have firmware updates improved the Garmin Fenix 8? Or still a dud?

Most bugs are minor and won't kill your activities or lose data. If you want Garmin's flagship watch now, it's solid for navigation, battery life, and durability. The Fenix 7 Pro and Epix Pro are still worth considering if you find a discount. I also compare it to the Apple Watch Ultra 2, which handles day hikes and daily life better but lacks the Fenix's multi-day battery and topo routing. 0:00 Garmin Fenix 8 2:10 Epix Pro & Fenix 7 Pro 4:16 Apple Watch Ultra 2 09:50 Recommendations --- Disclaimer: Some of these links are affiliate links where I'll earn a small commission if you make a purchase at no additional cost to you.
