    The watch is certainly an upgrade from an Apple Watch. I love the capability but the battery life sucks. it dies in 12 days

    Worthy Successor to my Fenix 5X

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I was a happy Fenix 5X user for the past 5 years and for the most part it did everything I wanted it to and survived a face plant bike crash that scratched the metal but not the crystal. However, the battery was getting more finicky and the display wasn’t as crisp as my older eyes would like. The 7X brings solar charging (which until summer I won’t get to really test), bigger battery, more colors and touch screen. I didn’t think I would like the touch screen, but I like the extra functionality it provides. I like the built in flashlight as well. The widgets are a carry over from the 6 and I like those as well. Probably not worth upgrading if you have a 6, but to a 5 owner this watch is a definite improvement. The Epix display is much sharper than the Fenix but I like the potential over time for a much longer battery life.

    Stop working after litte over year. With this price it should last a lot longer than that. Plus with all the system update problems just isn't worth it.

    I like my Garmin Fénix 3HR, 4 years in a row without any problem, so I bought this new generation Fénix 7 Solar, but I noticed since the first day the display was defective the intensity change constantly when light up, and there were a distortion in some rows of the display, I will try to buy a second one I really like this product so I will give a second chance.

    I have owned just about every version of Fenix watches. I was really excited for the 7 to come out. Worked great for a week, then out of no where it shut off and reset itself. Following that, I have gone through every step to re pair with my garmin connect app to sync up and have had no success in pairing. I have spent hours online and over the phone with Garmin customer support and still unable to pair. I expected more from such an expensive watch. Unfortunately I will return this and wait for them to sort out the kinks.

    This is the best watch for active people , pro or amateur athlete. What I like the most among other nice features: -Insane batter life (weeks) -personal trainer in your wrist -music storage so you can leave your phone during your long workouts -tons of watch face customizations -tons of workout data analysis -triathlete verified (super easy to operate during tri events) -Garmin Connect app plays very nice with other 3rd party applications I was a long time Apple Watch user, and oh boy! Garmin Fenix 7 checked every box for me….. yes watch is expensive but it’s worth every penny. Love it!

    Husband Loves his watch

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    My husband absolutely LOVES his watch. He says the battery life is amazing and it has solar so he barely has to put it in his charger. “Better than his I-Watch” he says. The only thing is it doesn’t have call or answering calls service, but other than that it’s amazing. It’s very big and masculine too. Very high quality and durable. He wants me to get the same one but for women. ;-)
