Garmin Fenix 7 Pro, Tundra

I had the Fenix 7 Pro for two years now & I love all the features except the brightness which I think in the last year it got darker and I can’t see it on my night runs I’m doing twice a week! My previous Fenix 6 Pro I gave to a friend 5 years ago it’s a lot brighter compared side by side! I’ve own Garmin since Fenix 3, 3HR, 5,6, Instinct, 955! I do love the brand very much but at the moment I had to get a cheap Amazfit Balance 2 fo a display I can see in the dark & won’t break my bank!

I moved up to a fenix 7 from a vivoactive 4. I didn’t realize how much I like the older watch until I started trying to use app features on the new one. Everything is one more step and like my title says, cumbersome. I was going to send it back but I was in a power outage and the flashlight was invaluable. I get random freeze ups and app glitches I never had with the va 4.

Everything that I have used has worked except for the music option. I'm so glad that I hardly use headphones or it would drive me insane that it doesn't work.properly. it shuts off after 10-+15 minutes. It restarts the entire system during workouts, so that part is definitely frustrating.

I've had the watch for a bit over 3 weeks and find it very useful and easy to document activities, backcountry skiing, XC skiing, alpine skiing, walking, hiking etc.. I haven't used the mapping features yet but will probably do that when hiking in the summer months. I was hoping the solar feature would prolong the battery life but that could be a function of the winter months when it's often covered up.

This is the second Garmin Fenix watch I have owned. I mainly use it for rowing and running. It works flawlessly, except for the battery, which is degrading faster than expected. Currently, I have to recharge the watch every week, whereas initially, I only needed to recharge it once a month with the same usage.

This watch is better than my phone. The only feature I wish it had was a more seamless ability to log strength workouts, I’m still learning to workout the kinks in the app. Other than that, this watch has been worth every penny. Especially, as someone in the Army & a D1 Athlete.

I have been a very user of a different smartwatch since they were released in 2015, so jumping ship to Garmin was a bit terrifying. I'm thrilled I did. While there was a learning curve of a few days, and I do laugh about being ribbed by my tech when I'm a bit lazy, I do see actual benefits to my life because of my fenix watch. I've loved the coaching plan as I try to go from a sporadic runner to a consistent one. I would not have guessed that I love the graphs and data so much, but I do. I can see a gentle uptick in my metrics thanks to a few weeks of some modest positive lifestyle changes. I'm looking forward to more runs and hikes and more data in the new year!

I bought this a month ago, and have been really happy with the battery life. It gives me everything I had with an apple watch and more. With the apple watch, I couldn't really track my sleep well, because I was always recharging it. Solar is such a great idea!

I received my Garmin Fenix 7 for Christmas. I really like the watch face with all the info I want on it. I especially like the fingertips scrolling features for easy access to the watch's features. It is a really great watch, and I am so happy I upgraded from the Fenix 5.

Absolutely love my Garmin Fenix 7 Pro Sapphire Solar! Just completed my first half marathon and my Fenix 7 was so useful in tracking my progress as well as mapping my long runs! Solar version keeps a charge for well over two weeks! highly recommend this watch!
