Integrated into the Fēnix 8 is a built-in LED light that has a range of light intensities, including a red safety light and a strobe mode that matches your steps as you run, and built-in speaker and microphone are handy for pairing with your smartphone whether you choose to listen to your favourite playlist as you train, use your smartphone’s voice command to send messages, or answer phone calls.

This feature also calculates your pace, distance and speed during multiple sports whether you are running, swimming, skiing or cycling and even contributes to safety features such as live tracking, dual grid co-ordinates and Find My Phone so you can share a location or find your way back should you become lost or injured.
