Deal | Garmin Fenix 8 Pro drops to all-time low on Amazon thanks to 29% price drop

Some tech enthusiasts might be planning their upcoming summer vacation or at least an adventure or day-trip, which usually means less screen time and more activities outdoors. While leaving behind the laptop and smartphone can do wonders in terms of stress management, having a device on hand in case of an emergency might be a good idea.

Garmin smartwatches like the Fenix 8 Pro are made for these scenarios as the latest flagship smartwatch from the American wearable maker sports inReach communication via 4G LTE or satellite, even when no smartphone is in Bluetooth range. Users who would like to take advantage of this feature might want to consider Amazon's latest offer for the aforementioned Fenix 8 Pro.

To be more exact, the 47mm version of the Garmin watch has been discounted to $849 including free shipping. This constitutes a 29% or $350 discount and results in the lowest Amazon price yet according to Camelcamelcamel. Only the "Carbon Gray" color variant is part of this offer. For users with bigger wrists, the 51mm model is also on sale for $949.

Fenix 8 Pro requires inReach subscription for full functionality

Since the Garmin Fenix 8 Pro is still a very expensive gadget, it's worth checking out our in-depth review of the Fenix 8 Solar before ordering. Although there are a few differences between these two SKUs, our impressions of the basic features will apply to the Pro SKU that's on sale here.

In any case, buyers can look forward to a robust wearable with a long battery life of up to 19 days in energy saving mode. With the always-on display enabled, the Fenix 8 Pro should still last around a week according to Garmin. Prospective owners should also note that inReach features such as sending text messages via 4G LTE require a paid subscription with a monthly fee, which is a fact that we recently criticized. Nevertheless, the Garmin Fenix 8 Pro is one of the best-equipped outdoor multi-sport smartwatches on the market and might be worth the discounted price for some.
