The Timepiece

Garmin is a globally recognized brand in high-tech wearables, known for its connected watches and activity-tracking devices. The brand first built its reputation in GPS navigation before expanding its expertise into watches and sports equipment. Its models feature sophisticated sensors for fitness tracking. The multi-sport GPS timepieces of the fēnix 8 series are built for athletes and adventurers who push their limits. The watch 010-02904-40 presented here is the most rugged fēnix Garmin has ever made. It features a gray fiber-reinforced polymer case. Round in shape, it measures 47 mm in diameter and 15.20 mm thick, weighing 52 g. It is fitted with a gray carbon DLC titanium bezel and topped with a flat sapphire crystal that offers a clear view of the dial while protecting it from impacts. On either side of the case sit a crown and four pushers for adjusting the various functions. This 73 g timepiece features a screw-down caseback with 10 ATM water resistance. The caseback also includes a charging area - used with the included charging cable - as well as a heart rate sensor.

The Dial

The fēnix 8 series is available with an AMOLED display and features a powerful built-in LED flashlight with variable brightness levels. A red safety light improves your visibility when training in the dark and provides handy illumination whenever you need it. This round dial in black is fully customizable with a range of watch faces to match your mood, style, or look. It features a 1.4" screen - 35.56 mm in diameter - with a resolution of 454 x 454 pixels. The bezel is framed by a minute track and bears the Garmin signature at 6 o'clock.

Its minimalist design features a brushed finish and a sleek gray tone. It is compatible with wrists measuring 132 to 215 mm in circumference and fastens easily with a deployant clasp.

The second strap is made from black silicone, combining durability and flexibility. Its lightweight, adjustable design ensures all-day comfort. It features a secure pin-and-tuck buckle and is compatible with wrists measuring 125 to 208 mm in circumference.

Water Resistance

With water resistance to 100 meters - or 10 ATM in watchmaking terms - this bold timepiece is equally at home at a black-tie event and in the water. Feel free to wear it in the shower, the bath, or while swimming (even vigorous laps). That said, our team of watchmaking experts wants to be clear: this model is not designed for scuba or freediving, nor for use with high-pressure water jets. Remember: showers, baths, and swimming only - and never operate the pushers or crown while submerged.
