Unlike the Google Pixel Watch 4, which includes emergency-only satellite messaging, the Fenix 8 Pro takes things further with two-way satellite communications, allowing you to check in with friends and family off the grid. Its inReach technology provides two-way satellite and LTE connectivity, though it requires an active subscription. Plans cost $8 to $49.99 per month and include a free 30-day trial.Another major benefit is the ability to trigger an interactive SOS message for 24/7 assistance from Garmin’s global response center. The 1.4-inch AMOLED display is bright and durable, with a scratch-resistant sapphire lens, and LTE lets you access key communication features without relying on your phone. Battery life lasts up to 27 days in smartwatch mode.The aesthetic is familiar, with Garmin’s signature rugged look, a sapphire crystal display, titanium bezel, and easy-to-navigate action buttons, even if you’re wearing gloves or have sweaty hands. It has a built-in speaker and mic and is water-resistant up to 100 meters, making it suitable for dives, while its built-in flashlight is a useful extra for low-light adventures. The watch has the usual sensors, including a pulse oximeter and barometer, plus ECG support and advanced insights such as endurance and hill score. It also suggests daily workouts for runners.
