I’ve had an Apple Watch since they have come out, decided to change things up with a Garmin and glad I did!! All these features I have been missing…. I play a lot of golf and I’m active the Fenix 7 comes ready for what I need right out of the box no new apps to download etc… best purchase in a while never goin back to Apple!

I recently received a Fenix 7S for a gift. The features and data received when connected to my bike’s power meter and Garmin heart rate monitor has provided even better knowledge of training and rest needed.

After a big debate between Garmin and Apple Watch years ago, I became a long time Apple Watch guy. After all these years, I decided that I wanted to get into a Garmin since I used so few of the Apple Watch features and used it predominantly for fitness tracking. I couldn't be happier that I made the switch. I still get the notifications that I'm accustomed to seeing, but I get so much more data about my fitness. Oh, and the battery lasting a week between charges is a huge bonus! So glad that I bought this watch and I'm kicking myself for not getting a Garmin years ago.

The most important thing for me was the heart rate while working out. And it would just stop taking it. It did it all the time. But if you don't care about.that. it's a nice watch

Thank you for your review and experience with the fenix 7S. We would like to discuss this further over email. If you would please email us at product.support@garmin.com. Thanks Jenny
Love the look and style of the watch. The battery life is Amazing. It definitely has more features that my Apple Watch did not have, however it’s not very user friendly to set up or make changes to the face etc. I also wish I could add my Amex to it to pay for things. I like that it pairs with my phone and actually like that I view the texts not respond. The Apple Watch has that feature but I think it’s a distraction. I also like when it alerts me when my phone is ringing. I typically have my phone on silent so it’s nice to see/feel that I have a call coming in. I don’t feel as stressed to immediately respond to non urgent texts or calls. The alarm is also great. Much better than having my phone next to me when I’m supposed to be sleeping. I purchased the watch to replace my Apple Watch and I’m very happy that I made the switch.

I like the watch. It does so much more than I can figure out.... For example, I would like to get it set up to check on my sleep. And I am not able to navigate very well. Probably I should google and get some lessons.

I've had the Fenix 5s and the Vivoactive Music 3 and now I am happy to have the Fenix 7s. The main reason I bought the Fenix is battery life. I run 18 mile trail races while listening to music so I wanted a watch that could get all my data, provide music, and have some life afterwards. I mountain bike a lot and my frustration is with the thickness and weight of the watch. On the descent the watch bounces and pushes into my wrist and hand, sometimes pushing the start/stop button without my knowledge. I did rotate my brake levers and that helped but the watch still moves as I go over rocks, tree roots, etc. I hope in the future Garmin is able to decrease the weight of the watch so it will stay put better on a small wrist. I really hope Garmin will keep in mind that many of its users have small wrists.
