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

I went from a Fenix 5x to the new 7. Touch screen is great, an all around great sports training watch.

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.

Guess I should have watched, no pun intended, more closely when I was choosing the watch, I wanted one with the flashlight, didnt realize it only came on the 7X model

Very nice! I even got it 3 days early! Great service. Excited to use it

use for workout, tracking.

What I like: 1) Size is very substantial, which I like 2) They’ve extended the battery life by like triple what it was, and that’s a huge win! 3). Love the touch screen 4) Very accurate with calculations Very improved from my first Fenix, the 5!!! Love it, and hope it lasts longer than my first one too. That will be the true test.

If I was in doubts about replacing my Fenix 5X PLUS for this brand new model, I am completely satisfied. Took some time to receive, I believe that it was do to a DROP BOX business model, but arrives perfectly, sealed, and on correct time informed at the moment of purchase. actually arrived 2 days before informed.

Ok, $1k is a lot for a watch that basically looks like an old ironman. This thing is a beast but before i start there is one reason you will want this watch over your apple ultra or sang-sung whatever. Battery life. insane. If you hate charging your electronics nightly or wonder more than once a week, will my watch last.. or carry chargers.. Stop now, pawn your other piece of junk and get this. Legit multi-week as a smart watch battery life. Legit. Even on its MOST power consuming gps micro tracking it out lasts my apple watch. You can read everyone elses reviews. But as a smart watch or end of the world watch, its the best i have ever seen. yes, its a tank, it feels like a piece of armor when worn. And yes, for the F-of loving jesus or your prophet of choice, the flashlight... I use it daily. Daily. Thought like most, gag, silly. Negatory. Just used it moments ago which triggered me to stop and write this. If you want a real solid piece of kit that will last and be there to use. Stop, break into the savings... get a second mortgage or line of credit and just do it! Great watch, best watch i have had ever.

Everything off and battery died after 11 days

I love the watch. Its comes with great features and amazing screen. However it also is heavey and very thick, so not comfortable to wear with dresses or while sleeping. Its accuracy is marvellous and the I love it for running and hiking. Again the nylon band is not comfortable as it grabs the skin and sticks. I wish it was thin and had leather strap.
