Best Activity Watch on the Market
on October 30, 2026
Posted by: Reaver
I have had the Fenix 3, 5, 7, and now the 9. Every time they have gotten better and the Fenix 9 Pro, inReach Solar is no different. Easy to use, tons of great features and everything seems to have become more accurate in its tracking. I've only had mine for a little while, but I can't wait to try out some of the other features. People are constantly amazed at what my watch can do compared to theirs.

My journey to the Fenix 9 Pro Inreach Solar
on October 30, 2026
Posted by: Ron Hedrick
I previously wore the Fenix 7x Solar Sapphire which I purchased new 8 months before the Fenix 8 release. I was extremely happy with the 7x SS. When the Fenix 9 Pro SS came out with upgraded memory and better processing. I new that was my next daily wearable partner. It is a big adjustment from the 7x with a ton more features available. Teaming it up with the Garmin plus plan creates an environment that also truly helps guide a person after struggling with a health condition and trying to bounce back. The Inreach capabilities feel like a strong safety net as well.

I purchased this watch a few weeks ago and I have zero complaints and/or regrets. Great looking watch and all the features work perfectly for me.

Don’t buy it.

Returned my Garmin Fenix 9 Pro for two reasons:
1. The inReach function is a completely different program than previous Garmin Mini inReach and other inReach devices uses. I bought this thinking the watch would replace two devices (my previous watch and inReach mini- win!)— however this is not the case. The new inReach on the watch uses a different file format that is not supported by other race formats like Trackleaders or Dotwatchers. This is in the fine print after I dug into it. — disappointing.
2. Battery life— even when turning off satellite functions and minimizing connections— battery life isn’t 1/2 of what they advertised. This is really disappointing.
I returned the watch and reverted back to my previous Enduro 2. I’m disappointed Garmin— do better.

Amazing watch. The amoled screen was nice and battery life being 29 days is amazing.

Great watch!

How’s little hesitant to upgrade from fénix 8 pro to 9 pro solar. Now that I have it for about a month or so, I am glad I did. I have yet to charge this watch yet. Solar function is really good at recharging the watch. Also, full titanium case feels and looks premium. No plastics. Overall, I think this awesome product.

Great watch, but not for me.

Great device, but for me it turned out to be too heavy, a large body, a small display - in my scenarios it will work out in this model: running, gym, work. I changed to the amoled version, and so far I am satisfied. I think the choice of Enduro 4 makes more sense.

Great watch but feeling left out
on October 9, 2026

The 3 is for buyers remorse. There are lots of great watch faces available for the Fenix 9 Pro series watches.... except the Solar model. I am regretting getting the Solar option. A very powerful and able watch, but with everything customizable means there are way more features and options to fully grasp. But I am wearing this watch every day and do enjoy many (ok, some of the known) features.
