This is why I’m NRY

Smartwatches

fenix 8, 47mm

Garmin · £577

A GPS sports watch with a round face and a silicone strap.

Worth being NRY provisional

A 1.4 inch AMOLED screen and a stainless case at £577.04, which is Garmin’s serious multisport watch at a John Lewis price rather than a specialist one. The fenix is the watch people keep for five years, and the build is why: this is the point in the range where the materials stop being the limiting factor.

For
Someone doing several sports who wants one watch to cover all of them properly.
Not for
Anyone who only runs, where the Forerunner line does it for less.

What we checked

  • A 1.4 inch AMOLED display in a stainless steel case, built for multisport use. John Lewis

Marked provisional: the justification rests on 1 source(s); two independent ones is the bar. We publish it anyway and say so, rather than waiting for evidence that may never arrive.
