Diving functionality down to 40 meters. This is the same as the Apple Watch Ultra . But not as deep as the dedicated diving devices from Garmin which go to like 200 meters I think. 40 meters accounts for the vast majority of all recreational diving though.
Price increases. Starting from $1k. About a $200 increase in launch price from the previous generation.
Definitely a lot of nice upgrades, but no blood glucose or other hardware sensors this time around.

New more refined UI across the entire watch. More aesthetic and menus are laid out a lot more logically. Apparently all their watches going forward will have a more unified UI. Unclear if any of their previous watches will be updated to use it.
Garmin Connect is launching new training programs for strength training and other sports. Right now, training programs are limited to running and cycling. They are advertising it as a fenix 8 feature, but I don’t see why that wouldn’t be available for other watches since it’s seems to be a Garmin Connect feature as opposed to a hardware feature. But Garmin does like to arbitrarily hold features back to drive hardware upgrades.

New Garmin Fenix 8 watches just dropped. So here’s the highlights from what I can tell.
3 sizes. 43, 47, 51mm. AMOLED displays default across the line up. MIPS/Solar display options everywhere except the 43mm option. Battery life is at least as good but often improved across the board at every variation compared to the fenix 7 pro/Epix pro watches.
Microphone and speaker. Allows access to your phones Siri or google assistant. Also has on device voice controls to control aspects of the watch like starting timers, activities, enabling/disabling focus modes (sleep), etc. Can make phone calls from watch using mic and speaker. Still requires connected phone. No LTE on the watch itself.
