Great Multisport

I was looking to upgrade my Forerunner 245 to add golf features but maintain all the running features of the 245. The Fenix not only adds awesome golf features but upgraded the features I've used for running.

Has a ton of activities preloaded that I'll never do at my age but I like the long battery life and gps acquires signal very fast.

Got my fenix 7s on Christmas love it. But the heartbeat monitor stopped working after the first week. I hope that this isn’t an issue

Garmin is for Athletes

I switched to the fenix 7 from an Apple Watch Series 8, and I will never look back. The metrics that the fenix provides are outstanding. It helps guide my training, focus on areas on opportunity, and keeps me pushing forward. The battery is an incredible upgrade. I went 14 days without charging after my first charge. 2 full weeks! The fenix is easily compatible with my peloton bike for use as a heart rate monitor. Trade in your Apple Watch and buy one of these.

Not What I Expected
on January 16, 2024
Posted by: cgthoma1996
I was really looking forward to receiving this watch and tried really hard to like it—but after sitting with it for two days—I had to return it. My issues were:
1. Screen image was low quality, could see pixelation, especially on the watch faces that feature virtual watch hands
2. Touch sensitivity was not good, not nearly as crisp or snappy as a smartphone. There would be a delay when I tried to swipe the screen.
3. Screen was too dim, couldn’t read it without the backlight (I don’t want to have to push a button every time I need to see the time, the setting that lights the screen if I turn my wrist was just annoying, it lit up all the time)
4. Only had 12 GB of memory and the map I would need to download for hikes is 11.5 GB
5. Even basic health tracking features were inaccurate— even the basic “steps” function didn’t work. I walked around for five minutes and it never registered a step.

Great Training Partner

Received the Garmin Fenex 7 for Christmas and have been infatuated with it every since. I like logging my workouts, monitoring my sleep/rest, the safety location feature when I'm in back country, and many other features. Notably the reminder that I've worked very hard and deserve a rest day :)

Good, but...
on January 22, 2024

Very good battery life. Finds satelites fast enough. Everything works just fine except for the sleeping log. That doesn't work at all for me. When I'm in bed it seems that the fenix 7 thinks I'm asleep. So when I've had the worst sleep ever the watch can tell me that I had a perfect night and is prepared for everything. Quite annoying to say the least.
But it still get a 4/5 star from me since everything else about it is awesome.

Data and fun for the gym and trails
on January 24, 2024
Posted by: Dadsquatch
I’ve been using my Fenix 7 for about a month. The workout tracking features are good - it accurately captures about 80% of my reps and it’s easy to correct on the fly. Building your own workouts is easy enough. On the trails it’s been fun to use with the family on a couple hikes and provides good data for cardio goals when solo. Other than that smart watch features are adequate, it looks great and does everything I need.
