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.

Love the watch, plenty of functions and very accurate..

The physical design is nice, the functions seems excellent, but navigating the device is extremely unintuitive. I cant return it, as I didnt realize the seller also shipped the product, not Amazon (my mistake, I usually wont buy from sellers like Instadeals). Since I cant return it, Ill have to read the manual, which is unusual for a smartphone-connected device in 2022. It has a touchscreen and 5 buttons (too many, it defeats the whole purpose of a touchscreen!). A big display and a touchscreen should mean you dont have all these unlabeled buttons. Also, most infuriating is the display brightness by default is very low, which makes the display UNREADABLE. And its not remotely obvious how to increase the brightness. Because the watch has a lot of functions, the app is not simple, either. it took a while to find settings (I buy way more gadgets and electronic products than anyone I know). If Garmin can develop the software to provide all of these functions, they should be able to create a more intuitive UI.

Plenty has been written about this watch. All good, all true, if you are older and need reading glasses, this might not be the watch for you. Otherwise go for it. OLED display works better for my old eyes, and I’ve tried a few versions of this. The problem with ordering online, is you don’t know what you’re getting. BUYER BEWARE. OE USA HAS A 200 PERCENT restocking fee. Even if the box was never opened. You may want to consider a big box store instead of Amazon. OE USA requires a signature. I’d look to other vendors or talk to Amazon first about a more reasonable vendor if you want this watch. It’s a great watch but it will cost you $200.00 just to look at it from OE USA, not to mention time lost sitting around all day waiting to sign for it. Added bonus might be UPS drives all over your lawn. (My experience) I recommend great eye sight, Amazon Locker, and a better vendor. Good Luck

Love the watch ,huge fan of garmin technology buy it seem like a trend when I buy stuff on Amazon, 30% of the time the product is malfunctioning. This watch in particular after about a week,the functions of the left top button has completely disappeared,cant activate the flash light at all and cant turn on the background light to checkout the time while in the dark. Now Ive just ordered the 7x saphire, hopefully Ill have better luck.

Expensive but nice

First, they charge you almost $60 restocking fee for returns. Second, battery life advertising is false. Third, the watch is huge and heavy and not comfortable to carry on your wrist 24/7. Lastly, it’s not as intuitive to use and set/reset as similar watches. All they seem to care about is adding ridiculous functionality that the average person may never use and then charging exorbitantly for them.

The Fenix 7 is packed with features, and you can really make use of them to get better insight into your fitness & health. The watch is quite large, and that was a kind of an issue for me - but not a deal breaker. However, I just realized after owning this that I just dont really care for the smart watch tech, and Amazon was very gracious to allow me to return it. They also required a passcode for delivery, which I thought was great because of the value of the item.

Excellent watch easy functions long life battery

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.
