Pros

  • In fact, just yesterday I was playing in the pool with my grandson and was surprised to see that my GW8C auto detected a swim workout.
  • She loves the GW8C, but is kinda stuck in the apple ecosystem
  • What I can say for sure is it feel amazing and buttery smooth with the UI, super, super responsive and the layout is great. I only had a Fit 3 before, as I had used it to gauge my interest in a smart device. Even compared to that it hone...
  • I like it personally
  • I would get the gw8c hoping I get one for Christmas.

Cons

  • Parent context: Do the ultra have stronger or weaker vibration than GW8C? Reply: Haptics in the 8C feel weaker and lower quality, I have both and that's my opinion
  • I also got the GW8C and love it. I'm not a big fan of the smaller screen, though.
  • Wish I had read this before ordering a GW8C. I really wanted the rotating bezel though personally.
  • I ended up paying around 200€ when I traded in my GW4C for a GW8C.
  • The GW8C is super fast, noticably faster than my GW6C. Not sure that the speed matters that much, because the GW6C is not slow whatsoever, in my opinion. I actually have grown to love the shape of the GW8C subtle 'squircle' and how it si...

What I can say for sure is it feel amazing and buttery smooth with the UI, super, super responsive and the layout is great. I only had a Fit 3 before, as I had used it to gauge my interest in a smart device. Even compared to that it honestly doesn't feel that heavy, maybe for the initial half an hour and then it kind of blended in just like the Fit3.

I just switched from a GW6C 47mm a few days ago. I love the feeling of the rotating bezel on the GW8C. The smaller screen isn't that big of a deal to me. The squircle design grew on me very quickly as well.
