The watch I was always looking for

Coming from years of Apple Watch. I wanted a watch that looked like a watch on my wrist, not jewelry. I dont need all the smart watch integration the Apple Watch offers. It works so perfectly with an iPhone tho. Basic notifications is all I want. Fitness tracking and data on Garmin is superior to what Apple Watch spits out. I tried the Epix 2 since I felt I needed the AMOLED. It was a bit too small and didnt feel or look as good as the Fenix to me.

Ive had the 3 and 6x prior to this. I upgraded for the flash and the touchscreen as well as the significantly improved battery life. This thing is bullet proof. All the previous functionality through the Garmin app is maintained if not improved. I use it as an everyday watch and for my biking and hiking needs. Ive also used it for swimming and SUP and have been impressed. As with previous versions, more faces will be developed so Im not holding the slim options against it for now. Not cheap but its hands down the winner in this space for me.

I upgraded from the VIVO ACTIVE 4 which had a screen pixel issue. I will mention Garmin customer service was a breeze and replaced the screen for free but I still preferred the upgrade to the Fenix 7x Sapphire Solar for the following reasons. The previous watch did not have a tennis setting, so I would manually have to change the activity on a frequent basis. I love the morning report and high detail customizable watch face. I frequently would be checking my phone or watch for weather, sunrise. sunset and now this information is readily displayed and receive a morning report in addition. I will admit, I am not a runner and I did not like seeing that my training readiness was always no status. This will change when I start biking after the snow melts so for the meantime, I changed the watch face to simply say FENIX where it previously said no status. The long battery life is also key for me seeing as how the previous watch would need to be charged more frequently. At times, I can be completing three activities in the day and need a watch with battery life that can truly keep up and be more convenient. I prefer the non LED, smartphone screen like on the watch, especially for when reading the report in the morning and seeing the watch more clearly in day/outdoor settings. The flashlight also is a very cool feature that has already proved useful! I was initially concerned with the size before ordering online, however, the size and weight of the device are insignificant. I do not feel the watch on my wrist at all...so much so, that I sometimes freak out that I may not be wearing it! Not enough of a freak out to set off the emergency services setting though! ;)

I wanted to love this watch! The images on the website make the watch face look so clear and distinct. Not my experience. Even with the watch display at 100% brightness it was still hazy and I struggled to read the fine details that this watch provides. Colors werent as vivid either. And having to keep the watch at 100% brightness will reduce battery life accordingly. Extremely disappointed. Navigating the UI was not as intuitive as I would have liked either, but I will be returning the watch as the display is a deal breaker for me. All other aspects of the watch were as advertised.

Realmente el producto es genial

This is an absolutely amazing watch. PRICEY? YES! You really get what you pay for. My previous watch is was the Tactix Delta Solar, also an amazing watch but it really is an upgrade to have an LED Flashlight on my wrist plus added touchscreen for easy menu navigation, plus improved battery and Solar capabilities. If you have the money the 7X Sapphire Solar is a definite upgrade from the Fenix 6 series... Get it, You wont regret it!!!

Bluetooth drops during runs w/ beats powerbeats pro. No way to reset bluetooth without stopping running app.

Love the size and style

Great watch! Gives me far more info and tracking than I need or could use. It’s like an exercise computer on my wrist.
