We have not yet updated and tested the Fenix 8 watch to verify whether it does solve the problem.
The Garmin Fenix 8 is a fantastic watch.

Those users include podcaster Joe Rogan.
I have a Fenix 8 and a Fenix 7, theyre awesome, I love these things.
On the old one, you might go in cold water and nothing happens.
So if Im in the water for five seconds, it shuts off.
Theyre apparently going to fix that, they think its a software issue.
Not good, Garmin… By people, Rogan means TechRadar.
The Garmin Fenix 8 shut down twice through cold water exposure, while the Fenix 7 emerged unfazed.
So hes clearly done some reading around the issue including our coverage.
It seems as though he swaps from one to the other depending on the task at hand.
