My love for Garmin watch went to the next level
on January 30, 2025
Posted by: Eddie B.
Had for a month. Was using an Instinct for the last 2 years. Loved all the health data, quality of sleep, hydration, balancing the stress. I didn’t use the activity functions (running with GPS, cause it drained the battery. Battery life on the Fenix is phenomenal. Used the snowboarding activity and it hardly touched the battery, start/stop each run. Top speed, where I was (GPS) for those runs on the mountain. It monitors my sleep and stress to the next level- even warns me. Awareness is half the battle. Got it for the more professional/polished look for work and suits, but got so more than great looks!

A lot of fun and useful stuff

Im very happy with the Watch ,and spent some time with it. I really like the screen outside in the sun ,so easy to see. But I don’t like the colors and sharpness of the screen when using backlight in a dark room. It’s very poor colors and seems blurry and old fashion. So when you download a new screen ,it’s not the same colors and picture on the watch….
Maybe this is because it’s 240 pixels,or maybe the software update. Or maybe I just have the wrong watch:-) Fenix 8 has 480 pixels, Moore expensive,but maybe ….. I really like the look of the watch and the quality ,and the brand. I love the connect app and ConnectIQ,it’s easy to set up and have a fantastic manual. It’s no problem to recommend this watch, but if I should be 100% satisfie, a have to go up to Fenix 8 or a Garmin watch with 480 pixels.

About a month since I purchased the Fenix 7, and I am so impressed with the ease of use and the ability to use both side buttons and touch screen. The swim app tracks accurately, sleep app helpful, pickelball apps great too. Synchs w my Garmin app on my phone which gives me more information. Very satisfied

Garmin Fenix 7 – A Watch That Does More With Less Clutter
After using both the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and the Garmin Fenix 7, I can confidently say that the Fenix 7 stands out by delivering more functionality with less clutter—no extra apps, no subscriptions, just everything you need right out of the box.
Key Features That Make a Difference
Heart Rate Broadcasting – My Fenix 7 can share my heart rate with other devices, making it perfect for syncing with bike computers, fitness equipment, or other apps.
Sleep Insights Without an App – No need to dig into an app; the watch itself provides detailed sleep analysis directly on my wrist.
Performance & Body Battery – It tracks VO2 Max, endurance, training status, and readiness, helping me understand how my body is performing and recovering.
Motivation Without Distractions – Unlike other smartwatches that require third-party apps and subscriptions, the Fenix 7 provides built-in motivation tools with no extra downloads needed.
Seamless iPhone Integration – While it doesn’t have the deep Apple ecosystem ties of the Ultra 2, it still shows all the essential notifications and functions I need.
Why It Beats the Apple Watch Ultra 2
While the Ultra 2 is a great smartwatch, it feels app-dependent and cluttered with features that often require additional purchases. The Fenix 7, on the other hand, is a pure performance tool, giving me all the stats that matter without extra costs or distractions.
It’s simple, elegant, and designed for those who care about performance over gimmicks. If you want a watch that just works—with no extra apps, no subscriptions, and no unnecessary distractions—the Garmin Fenix 7 is the clear winner.

Definitely worth the price!

I've used the watch for about two weeks now and it has been a joy so far. I'm a wildland firefighter and it definitely holds up to the daily routine. I am a very big fan of the customization and how specific you can make things. A super neat and useful thing is that I can get pretty precise coordinates for my position which is really useful for giving accurate lat/longs when out on fires. The long battery life is pretty cool too, it lasts much longer than our two week rolls so I never have to stress about it dying when we're out on a fire in the boonies. The data that I can get about everything from how well I slept to how many calories I burnt running, with my exact pace and distance, is astounding and I love it. I strongly recommend the Garmin Fenix 7 if you have the money for it.

The best watch I've ever had
on May 19, 2024
Posted by: Dan C
It does everything as advertised and more. The battery life is more than sufficient even without the solar. I get 18 days, packed with activity, GPS, etc.
The sleep tracking and body battery is awesome to have and it's way better than other watches I've had.
It's very durable, but not bulky or bad looking - I get compliments on it a lot.
I will be getting a Fenix again when this one dies, if that ever happens.

Definitely Worth the Upgrade

Better sensors (by far), better battery life (by far), touch screen is actually much better and useful than expected. Garmin is simply the best when it comes to multi-satellite GPS tracking. Only thing I wish were different is the color of the side of the case, which I'd prefer to be a darker gray such as my Fenix 6 Titanium. Love being able to depend on the function and reliability of Garmin.
