    Great for everyday use. Very durable. I use this for my job as a paramedic. It has held up to everyday use on the job for almost a year now. No issues with it. The battery life is phenomenal. The only downside is the price but I think its very worth it.

    I love this watch. It is a Price increase from the Fenix 7 which i had before. I would say definitely say to garmin users the features i enjoy on this watch: Phone calling. when im using my phone and someone is calling, i pick up on my watch to multitask. Activity Tracking: while activity is tracking you can go back to your home screen and continue to use the other features. I know on my fenix 7 once i was tracking an activity, i couldn't really go back and use other feature once the tracking was active.

    It’s a great watch that does everything and the build quality is superb. However I had to return it because it did not come preloaded with topo maps. Only the sapphire crystal version does. So I got a FR750 and that solved the problem.

    I’ve been wearing a fenix 5x plus for at least 6 years and thought it was great. This watch is a massive upgrade!!! First off the display is crystal clear. It’s capable of way more than I’ll ever utilize, it will take me awhile to work through all the features and menus. I’m really happy with my purchase.
