The Garmin Fenix® 8 – 47mm Multisport GPS Smartwatch is more than a performance watch — it’s a powerful tool for hunters, dog trainers, and outdoor adventurers. Built to integrate seamlessly with the Garmin Alpha® and Astro® dog tracking systems, the Fenix 8 lets you track your dogs right from your wrist while staying focused on the hunt. Alongside dog tracking, this rugged smartwatch delivers advanced training features, dive capability, built-in voice functionality, and an integrated LED flashlight for unmatched versatility in the field.
Key Features:
Dog Tracking from Your Wrist – Pair the Garmin Fenix 8 GPS smartwatch with compatible Garmin Alpha handhelds and TT25/T20 dog collars to view your dog’s location, distance, and status without reaching for your handheld. A must-have for upland hunters, houndsmen, and sporting dog owners.
Rugged Outdoor Design – Built to U.S. military standards for thermal, shock, and water resistance, this hunting smartwatch is dive-rated, features leakproof buttons, a metal sensor guard, and a bright 1.3” AMOLED display with scratch-resistant lens and titanium bezel options.
Built-In Speaker & Microphone – Make and take calls when paired with your smartphone. Use voice commands off-grid or connect to your phone’s voice assistant for hands-free control, even in the field.
Integrated LED Flashlight – A true built-in flashlight with multiple brightness settings and a red safety light keeps you visible in low-light conditions. Strobe mode even matches your running cadence, useful for both training and safety in the field.
