How long does the Garmin fēnix® 8 – 47 mm, AMOLED battery last?

Is the Garmin fēnix® 8 – 47 mm, AMOLED thick for a 47mm watch?
At 13.8mm, middle of the pack for thickness at this width. Thickness, not case width, is what decides whether a watch catches on a shirt cuff.
Should I get the 43mm, 47mm or 51mm fēnix 8?
The fēnix 8 comes in 3 case sizes — 43mm, 47mm, 51mm. Which one suits you depends on the flat width of your wrist rather than preference: the larger sizes need a wider wrist to sit inside the edge. Set your measurement in the size picker above and each variant reports its clearance in millimetres.
What other watches are the same size as the Garmin fēnix® 8 – 47 mm, AMOLED?
Oppo Watch X3, Xiaomi Watch 5, CMF Watch 3 Pro, Amazfit Balance 2 all sit within half a millimetre of the Garmin fēnix® 8 – 47 mm, AMOLED's 47mm case, so they cover the same amount of wrist.
