$849.99 is the new all-time low for Garmin’s Fenix 8 Solar, after the multisport GPS smartwatch fell $350 from its $1,049.99 list price.
The deal undercuts the model’s average price of $1,146.11 by $296.12, with the latest cut appearing about 11 hours before the report.
Garmin positions the watch for athletes and outdoor users with a solar-charged 1.4-inch display, sapphire lens, titanium bezel and built-in LED flashlight.
Battery life reaches up to 149 hours in GPS mode, while features include 24/7 health tracking, sport-specific training plans and wrist-based calling when paired with a smartphone.
With a Fenix 9 rumored for this summer, is this record-low Fenix 8 price a smart buy or a pre-obsolescence trap?
