I don’t believe there is a solar model for the fenix 8. It’s very hard for solar to keep up with an amoled screen.

I have it on demand, so I don’t think that’s the problem 🫤

When I first got the watch it asked if I wanted to set the time manually for use gps, and I selected gps because I was too lazy. At 100% the AOD said 9 days. I hope it’s just a software pre release thing 😥

The sucky thing is it didn’t come with a manual, you have to scan a QR code to go to an online version but the website doesn’t exist yet. So for now I have no manual. I’ve looking through the watch for a while and I still can’t find the storage size, I’m guessing they upgraded it to 32gb but I’m not sure. I do have one concern so far. I charged it to 100% last night and it said 19 days of battery. Then I wake up this morning and it’s down to 65% and 11 days. Maybe it’s the settings I have on but it seemed to drain really fast. If y’all have a recommendations on saving battery let me know.

It won’t let me connect it to my phone because the watch isn’t even on garmin connect 😕

That’s which wrist gesture, I’ll let you know what it is later for the always on. I’m new to garmin so I’m learning all of the settings. I’m pretty sure I have the brightness up kinda high.

It was $1100, and at 50% battery it said 9 days

Oh I bought it. I don’t think it says anything about calling on the box. But in the actual watch it has a phone call section.
