I love my fenix can't live without it. Keeps me updated with my life activities and my heath stats as a amateur athlete are important. The HRV stats allow me to workout at optimum efficiency and when I need to back off. Amazing watch I will use this product for the rest of my life. I had an issue with a button and warranty replaced it in 2 days. Can't beat the watch or the service. Thanks
Overall, I'm fairly happy. I'm a longtime Garmin sport watch user/customer. I've owned a 735, a fenix 6, a Swim 2. I won't go into all the things I like because there are too many to list. But there are two things that really bother me:
1. The watches break too easily. Both hardware and software. My most recent fenix 7, which was less than 18 months old, the Start | Stop button stopped working. So i had ot send it back. This has happened with every watch I've owned from Garmin except the Swim 2. I wish they would address this. And yes, they did send me a replacement, but it is a refurbished watch, not a new watch.
2. The watch does NOT count long course meters swimming very well. When I do backstroke, and swim 50 meters, the watch thinks I did 100. Again, this is something that is a long-running issue and should be fixed.
Got this watch for Christmas and I love it. Had been wearing the Apple Watch for sometime and was looking for something different. My Apple Watch is a joke compared to the the Garmin. Has great features and is easy to navigate. Battery life is amazing been wearing mine for 2 weeks before having to charge again.
This watch checks all of the boxes for me. The battery life is the best I've found- lasts on multi-day adventures! The flashlight feature is a nice touch (though that is the one thing I've find will drain the battery quickly- found out when my battery was low and I went for a long night walk with my dog and needed the light for safety and to see on some spots). I love the training options and that the watch will actually encourage you to take a rest day when needed (as opposed to my old Apple Watch that always wanted me to do more). I am also impressed by the durability of the watch face- I've accidentally hit it pretty hard a few times and it still looks brand new. No complaints and highly recommend this watch!
I have been wearing this watch for several weeks now and am very pleased with it. This is my first Garmin watch after having an Apple Watch for years. The battery life is such an improvement. I’m able to sleep track and there are so many health/training metrics. Would highly recommend
Switched from Apple Watch 7 to the fenix 7s Pro and so far I'm really happy with the change. Battery life was one of my top issues with my old watch and so far the fenix absolutely knocks it out of the park. I haven't noticed if the solar charging is during a lot to extend this but it is fall in the PNW so that isn't much of a shocker. I'm still getting used to the process for adding and modifying work outs but I appreciate how much you can customize to fit your needs. Looking forward to continuing using my watch and learning more as I go.
