Garminfēnix 7 Pro Sapphire Solar, Multisport GPS Smartwatch, Built-in Flashlight, Solar Charging Capability, Black

Couldn't be happier with the watch. I thought I loved my Fenix 3HR Sapphire (51mm), but this watch (51mm) blew me away as soon as I started setting it up. To see how far Garmin has come since my first Fenix (the 2), is pretty awesome. I've been a huge Garmin product fan for over 20 years, and they never disappoint. But, that's just my personal opinion as a consumer. And as a person who used to work in big box retail stores, and worked with some of their units almost daily. The screen quality, and readability is great whether you're indoors, or outdoors.

Purchased this watch to replace a dying Garmin Vivoactive 3. Having some gift card monies to spend, I really wanted a Fenix even though I knew it was much more watch than I really needed. As usual, I over researched watches (reviews, YouTube videos, etc) but narrowed my search to the Fenix 7x Pro and the Apple Watch Ultra 2. Although the Apple Watch is a great watch, ultimately it didn’t meet my needs as much as the Garmin.As mentioned before, the Fenix exceeds my needs but what I’ve experienced thus far, I know I made the correct choice. Naturally because it is a much more advanced watch than my outgoing Vivoactive, the features are more accurate. GPS is spot on, HR is surprisingly good, stairs counter is much more accurate, and the rep counter when strength training is much better. I’ve been using the sleep tracker…I really don’t know the accuracy of the feature but it’s interesting all the same. I anticipate using the map features while hiking/biking once the weather improves. I probably don’t need to mention battery life but this watch is probably second to none. I’m going from charging every other day to going several weeks on a charge.A concern of mine was the case size of the watch. My Vivoactive was 42mm (I believe) and this Fenix is 51mm. A couple coworkers have Apple Watch Ultra 2’s and I thought the size was reasonable at 49mm. Still not certain, I went to a local store that carries Garmin watches and tried on a Fenix 8 at 51mm. My decision was made after that. It is a big jump in watch size but I was able to accustom myself to the watch very quickly. Being a larger case, all the provided data can be viewed easily instead of being smushed onto a smaller screen.My one an only dislike of the watch is the watch band. No matter how tight/loose the band was, the buckle would dig into my wrist and cause discomfort and abrasions. I replaced it with a Hēmsut band and couldn’t be happier. I also purchased a case/bezel cover (ISABAKE) to prevent chips and scratches.Lastly, if can live without an AMOLED screen (Fenix 8), the Fenix 7 line can be had at hundred$ less. I’m not certain but other than the AMOLED vs MIP screen, I don’t think the Fenix 8 offers much more over the 7.

I love this watch. I used to have a vivoactive 5 but wanted some features the fenix offered such as routes. It’s a little costly, but I have no regrets.It gets me through tons of trail runs and has a great battery life (11 days I believe)

I love these watches, even though they cost a small fortune. I replaced my 6s sapphire with this watch, because the 6s's battery was beginning to weaken. I feel this watchface and band combination is attractive enough for daily wear which is important to me. Whether it's just knowing the crazy amount of steps we've taking on a vacation in Portugal, or tracking my workouts for an upcoming 5k, this watch gives me information at a glance that makes me happy!

Bought this for my bf Christmas gift and he really love it have long life battery And solar charging future.

+ I use it to track everything: running, biking, hiking, snowboarding, badmin, volleyball, pickleball, swimming. Even stair stepping and tactical (firing). Long battery life (about 15-20 days).+ Pretty efficient live syncing with my Android smartphone's Garmin & Strava apps.+ I also like the Garmin Pay feature. I use it at all tap-to-pay terminals so I don't have to pull out my phone or wallet.+ And the quick buttons. My popular quick function is the flashlight. When the lights go off at the pickleball courts without warning, I'm ready to turn on my watch's flashlight instantly to gather my belongings and head home.+ Highly customizable. For any activity, I can track many stats simultaneously, eg heart rate, distance, time elapsed, calories, temperature, elevation, steps, time of day, and so on.+ Furthermore, the watch distinguishes between outdoor and indoor activities. I usually track pickleball outdoors, but if I'm playing indoors, I get to save a little battery life from GPS tracking.+ Comfortable, sleek design.- Most modern place occurs indoors, so you won't get much charge back from the solar feature. Even I sometimes play sports outdoors for 10 hours in one day and still gotta recharge the watch via power cable.

Tactix delta lasted me for 4 years, I decided to go with the Fenix 7x Pro Sapphire Solar. Not a fan of the Fenix 8
