Garmin fēnix 7 Pro Solar, Multisport GPS Smartwatch, Built-in Flashlight, Solar Charging Capability, Black

Extremely happy with this watch, which I chose over the Garmin Fenix 8 and the Apple Watch. I love the MIP display, versus the glowing-orb look of Apple watches and the Amoled display of the Fenix 8. I see it just fine in daytime, and can just tap to see it at night. The functionality runs deep—so many features—but I particularly like the built-in flashlight, which I use constantly, and the long battery life. I get at least a week from a charge, and I use it for workouts every day. This proves to me that the latest and greatest is not always the best choice. I couldn't be happier with the Fenix 7.

This is my first garmin watch and I have literally nothing bad to say about it. I would highly recommend grabbing one if you are on the fence and can find it on sale. It has been fantastic. I have had an apple watch in the past, and to me it was just a bit too gimmicky for what I use. I used to just use a basic timex expedition for my daily wear watch until I got this fenix 7 pro saphire solar. The watch looks great, everything feels smooth and no lag, and even on the smaller size that I got I have no problems reading everything on it. The original band fit fine and is a great band for the water, but I swapped mine for a leather band for comfort at night. The sleep tracking has been awesome for me, and pretty accurate in depicting my body battery for the day. You can get notifications from basically anything, but I just set mine for texts and calls. You can’t respond like an apple watch, but I don’t mind that at all. My watch is my watch, not my phone. Overall just a great purchase for me. I thought the LED light would be useless but I find myself using the red light basically every day/night to get around my house, and the white light is pretty much as bright as my phone light which is nice for quickly lighting something close up. Battery is great too. With my settings I get about 14 days of use before I need to charge it. The great thing is that I can just throw it on the charger when I take a shower and by the time I am done it is mostly charged again. The health tracking is a cool feature as well, though I don’t use it intensively, it is nice for quick heart rate estimates and calorie count.

I bought this watch to replace my Samsung Galaxy 4 watch. The battery life is enormous. With normal use, it'll last maybe 2-3 weeks. I'm not that active of a person. I'm actually probably not the audience this watch is geared towards but I got it anyways bc I wanted a smart watch that would have a charge lasting more than a day. It does exactly what I want, lasts more than a day. Nice big display. I don't like that the display isn't super bright. However, I actually bought the Forerunner 965 to try out. The interfaces were almost the same, except the Forerunner was more beautiful. When I move my hand to look at the time though, bc the Fenix is a MIP display, it is truly always on. I can at least see it. The forerunner though would be off, sometimes wouldn't turn on unless I wiggles my wrist a smidge. It's something little, I know. But, for my needs (I work in a hospital, sometimes get blood or other patient biohazardous fluids on it during procedures), it works great. I can wash it very very thoroughly. If it can survive 5ATM of pressure it can definitely handle a thorough cleaning. The band that came with it is nice. I usually losen it one or two notches overnight. The sleep tracking, which is not the primary purpose of the watch, is pretty good. I think my old Fitbit Charge 3 was more accurate for sleep timings than Samsung Galaxy 4.... And that was more accurate than the Fenix. But overall, good enough for my needs. It doesn't keep track of naps though. Supposedly there is an update coming soon to fix that. The brightness could be better BUT in direct sunlight I can definitely read it. The built in flashlight is clutch. I love that feature. I don't remember the Forerunner 965 having it but I tried both simultaneously for a week and might have just forgotten. Location is extremely accurate for me. No issues. I only used it near my house. Primarily to track my location to send to wife in case of medical emergencies while walking. Very very happy with it. Again, my use case is slightly different than the typical for the audience this is meant for. I'm not a health fanatic. Just an average person. I walk maybe 2-3 miles a day. I don't go on mountain trails that often. I don't go biking. So I can't really comment on that stuff.

Really like the battery life; often get 2 weeks while using activity tracking at high resolution a few hours a week. Health tracking and visibility helps motivate me to work out more. Very durable but did end up with a scratch on the glass at some point. I was debating between this version and the sapphire glass version for a bit more money, still happy with this version even after the scratch.

Wonderful watch. Easy intial setup with Garmin Connect. Navigating the buttons and touch control is very fluid. My only gripe is the max brightness level indoors. It is dim for my liking, but getting used to it. This is likely from being spoiled by amoled displays. It is a bit shocking at first and a bit disappointing so I almost dinged it a star. This should be considered before buying MIP displayed watch. Outside it transformed into a very usable and normal viewing. A concern of mine was size of the watch on my wrist. Think of a Rolex Submariner or GMT at 42mm, and it historically has been considered the perfect size for a sports watch. More recently, watches have ballooned in size, and I worried 47mm is pushing it to an extreme. On my wrist, it was just right for my flattish 8.25 inch wrist. Definatly would not go to 51mm, given my age and body type. A younger, more athletic person might pull it off without being an uncomfortable size and looking comical. Loading maps from AllTrails has been easy. There are layers of complexity and more watch than most can ever use. I write down the function buttons used to help remind me how to navigate the watch. Saved some money vs the Fenix 8 and put it into a chest heart rate monitor to get more detailed analytics. Try on first if you can and take a good look at the display. Or just play it safe and get amoled.

Excelente opción para tener una mini computadora en tu mano… entrenos, rutinas, sesiones, seguimiento de salud. Y yo que tengo aparatos para golf Garmin, la mejor opción para tener todo conectado. La batería es increíble, te puede durar hasta 30 días en modo ahorro y hasta 15 días en modo normal, midiendo todo lo posible en cuestiones de entreno y salud. Olvídate de tanto estar cargando tu reloj

Fenix 7 is it amazing watch. If you’re looking for an apple type watch, this is not it. This watch is made for athletes, outdoorsman and it’s functionality shows that purpose. The watches general design is not bad at all, and the solar actually works quite well helping to extend the battery life.

The watch is excellent and has a balanced weight that makes u feel u r watching a genuine watch, but I sleep with a forerunner, this could be a bit heavy while sleeping, but this provides what I want from

Montre super qu'on a pas besoin de recharger aux 2 jours. Que dire de la lumière led intégrée. Le meilleur gadget que j'utilise a tout les jours quand il faut regarder dans un coin sombre ou tout simplement me déplacer dans la maison la nuit sans avoir a allumer toutes les lumières.

I purchased another less expensive smartwatch, not Garmin, but it didn't work. So I bought the Garmin fenix 7x pro sapphire and it's an absolute dream. I can't praise it highly enough. It's not very expensive but not cheap, however I think that it's a brilliant investment. It does everything I need, I am a hill walker and mountain climber. The features on this smartwatch are outstanding. Whilst trying to download topo maps my Internet went down and I lost connection. I thought this would cause problems, but when my Internet was reconnect 3 days later, the smartwatch picked up exactly where it lost connection. The features, and there are hundreds of them, on the smartwatch function flawlessly. Buy it.
