Garmin fenix 7S Solar, Smaller sized adventure smartwatch, with Solar Charging Capabilities, Rugged outdoor watch with GPS, touchscreen, health and wellness features, slate gray with black band

This absurdly priced watch has one of the dimmest screen I have ever seen. It is only reasonably visible in strong direct sunlight or in nearly pitch black situations. And even in the later case, you have to press the brightness button to get any semblence of readable text. The menu navigatgion is also a nightmare. No wonder all the reviewers crow about is the battery life becasue that is the single positive thing about this watch. I came here from the Samsung 3, which was a great smart watch but only pairs with Samsung phones. I have a Sony phone now, so I guess I will have to look elsewhere for a decend smart watch to pair it with.

I am very pleased with my new watch thus far. I had a Garmin Fenix 5X previously but it wore out after about 4 and a half years. I chose to get another Fenix since I was hoping the Fenix 7X would operate the same. Its a bit different but Im getting familiar with it. Its definitely a good idea to look at the manual. The touch screen feature is nice. Im also very pleased with the solar charging feature. I will now be able to go much longer without plugging this watch in. While far from cheap I consider this money well spent.

Great watch. I had the fenix 7 solar sapphire, however it was really too big for 6.5 wrist (subjective of course). The only real grip I have is that the band choices are very limited compared to the larger watches in the fenix line up. Why no titanium bracelet options? I get about a week of battery before Im down to 20%. Run, golf, ride, workout tracking...etc. Seems slightly less then the larger Fenix 7, but not by much. side note, purchased additional Nylon black strap from Garmin. I do like it, just would like a titanium band as well.

Watch itself is everything you researched on YouTube videos, amazing piece of gear for EDC and fitness. Low rating was that watch was delivered with box seal open already?! Item was inspected thoroughly and looked new, watch also registered online with Garmin website/ app, so must be new and legit right?! Still sketchy, but watch is performing as needed so far.

It is everything the advertisement claims

For starters, battery life, omg. There must be an Energizer Bunny inside. Functionality, well mostly the app. Ive improved sleep and stress with the app. Life changing, really. Nice work Garmin.

Only had it for a few weeks but loving it so far. The newer wrist hrm tech is much more accurate. Beautifully made, light and stylish.

This watch is a waste of money. Either get an instinct, Apple Watch, or wear a good old fashioned watch. I spent a grand on this watch and it constantly gives absurd sleep data, inaccurate with floors climbed, and stress readings. These aren’t infrequent occurrences either. This watch will literally log time I’m up out of bed active as “sleep” time either REM or awake but then back to sleep. It’s a complete joke and I don’t trust a single piece of data it tells me other than the time. Yes, I am wearing it properly, in the right place and the right tightness. Literally the only redeeming quality of this watch is that the battery lasts a week and a half. I’m done with garmin and would rather just use my phone to check time than wear a watch this useless. At least having it off helps my skin feel free and cool. If I get another smartwatch it will be an apple one. At least Apple Watches are easy to sale. Garmin watches your basically stuck listing them on eBay or Craigslist if you want to get a tenth of what you paid for it.

Ive owned numerous Garmin products including watches. This is overall an excellent watch with many terrific features. However, the Mineral Blue Titanium scratches very easily. I took it on a sailing trip with minimal contact and within a week there were scratches at numerous places on the bezel. Garmin support said knicks and wear will happen but damage like this didnt occur so easily with the many other Garmin products Ive used over two decades.

I love this new upgrade. I went from a forerunner 935 to this one and the technology is so nice. All the new features and battery life is great. I run ultras and love that it can link to my zwift, peloton, and all my other technology.
