The Garmin Fenix 8 is the latest update to Garmin's premium outdoor smartwatch series that now comes in either AMOLED or solar charging display options. Yes, that does spell the end for the Epix.

Display options aside, Garmin has revamped its watch software, introduced new mapping modes, added a brighter flashlight and is adding new voicepowered features to make the latest Fenix more smartwatch.

Testers Kieran, Nick and Mike have been putting the new 51mm, AMOLED version of the Fenix 8 through its paces across a mixture of runs and races to tell you whether it's an essential upgrade from the Fenix 7, how it fares against the competition and let you know if this is the best running watch you can buy right now.

Strap in, it's a long one but we promise, it's worth the watch.
