My short take

The Pro adds inReach, so it can send texts and an SOS over satellite or cellular with no phone nearby. This time every size gets it: 43, 47 and 51 mm. Garmin rates the 51 mm AMOLED at up to 31 days in smartwatch mode. The solar models reach 57.

8.1

The processor is the real upgrade over the fēnix 8 Pro, going by DC Rainmaker's route test. I'd buy the Solar model for battery life and skip the AMOLED unless the brighter screen matters more to you than days between charges.
