Garmin Fenix 8 51mm Sapphire Solar Titanium Amp Yellow Graphite Silicone 010-02907-21
For those who like to explore new terrain and communicate with contacts while on the go, the Fenix 8 watch is a superb gift option this Christmas. This model is crafted from graphite-coloured fibre-reinforced polymer and boasts a vibrant Amp Yellow silicone strap that makes this sports watch really pop on the wrist. This 51mm model is the largest of all three sizes of the Fenix 8 to be launched by Garmin this year and features a sapphire top, a titanium caseback and a bright and crisp AMOLED display for seeing all your stats easily and legibly. The Garmin Fenix 51mm comes complete with SatIQ and TopoActive Maps to assist the lucky wearer as they explore and promises a depth gauge and enhanced scuba dive and free-diving functionality. What is most impressive of all, however, is its newly implemented speakerphone and microphone feature. Now, your loved one can make and take calls without having to pick up their phone.
Garmin Fenix 8 47mm Sapphire Solar Carbon Grey DLC Titanium Black Pebble Grey Silicone 010-02906-11
With the ability to perform watch functions with off-grid voice commands or use their phone’s voice command feature to respond to text messages while on the go, the Fenix 8 smartwatch from Garmin has to be one of the best multifunctional smartwatch tools on the market right now. Just like the 51mm Amp Yellow model, it features a built-in LED flashlight for nighttime exploration, a 100M water-resistant rating, and boasts a plethora of health and wellness-related features. It cleverly merges aspects of the Forerunner 965 interface with that of the Epix Pro, improving core widgets, settings, and workout and navigation areas for a better, clearer understanding of health and fitness-related metrics. Its supreme navigational technology also ensures your loved one will never lose their way, even when exploring trickier terrain. They also get to enjoy 28 days of battery life in smartwatch mode. The Pebble Grey silicone band, however, gives this version of the Fenix 8 a more stealth-like tool look and measures a 47mm diameter for those who don’t have the wrist dimensions to carry the larger model.
Garmin MARQ II Watch Golfer 010-02648-21
The MARQ II Golfer is the ultimate golfing companion, designed to refine your A game. Along with a suite of other useful features like a Jet Lag Advisor, Morning Report, a heart rate monitor, a sleep score feature, Outdoor Maps, Stress Tracking, Body battery, and SatIQ – the watch boasts an excellent suite of features for advancing your golfing skills on the field. The model grants access to golf-specific features like a Virtual Caddie, which recommends the perfect club according to weather, wind direction and swing data. Then you have features like the watch’s Wind Speed Direction, which advises you on the ideal direction to swing. There are also 43,000 preloaded courses to explore from all around the world, each one available to download as you go. The MARQ II Golfer watch also features a Green Contour Data feature to help a golfing enthusiast approach his perfect shot, along with an Enhanced Playside Distance feature for helping him factor in elevation levels. The Club Tracking feature, however, is designed to combine distances, club type and location data for the perfect game. It’s the ultimate gift idea for any competitive golfer this Christmas.
Garmin Watch Venu 3S Soft Gold Smartwatch 010-02785-02

It features a built-in nap detection feature as well as all the usual heath-related elements your loved one will need, including Morning Reports, a heart rate sensor and Stress Tracking features. The Workout Benefit and Recovery Time enables its wearer to better understand how their daily workout affects their body and can train them to become more intuitive of their health and fitness. A Rate of Perceived Exertion feature can now be enjoyed during a workout, too. Your loved one can record how difficult their workout felt and how much they enjoyed it. Suffice to say, tracking health and fitness goals has never been more stylish or easy. Its beautiful AMOLED touchscreen display alongside an impressive battery life won’t let your loved one down when they need it most, plus, there’s a 14 battery life to make use of.
