Be limitless. The fēnix 8 multisport GPS smartwatch is built for serious athletes and outdoor adventurers who want to push beyond their limits. It features a 1.3” solar charged display with scratch-resistant sapphire lens, durable titanium bezel and powerful built-in LED flashlight for after-dark visibility. A built-in speaker and mic enable you to make and take calls from your wrist when your watch is paired to your smartphone.
