The do all watch

Been using this watch for backcountry skiing, mountain biking, hiking, and my daily gym workouts. It's a perfect tracking tool for all sports. I use it for the bare minimum, I guarantee there are a bunch of features I haven't discovered yet. I really like that I can track with heart rate zones in each workout. I get about 7-10 days on a full charge. Love that it's sleek. I don't feel like I'm wearing a big burly watch with my everyday clothes. Blends in well with this color scheme.
I love the color of this watch, the gold and light sand color band are just chefs kiss. I was excited for this watch upgrade from my Forerunner 745 for having some additional features such as preloaded maps, built in flash light, stamina, power averages, vertical oscillation, vertical ratio, hill score, morning report, touchscreen, solar charging, ecg reading, endurance score, health snapshot, nap detection or manual entry, and a bunch of other features related to diving or golfing I won't use.
Part of me wants to get the 265s since it has some similar features not including some major tools like full maps, solar powered, or the flashlight. or the FR 965.
Update I got the FR 965 and am happy with it more so than I was with this Fenix 7S Pro Sapphire Solar. Now I'm just stuck with an extra watch but here are some comparison photos.
Love the watch and it is my second one. Upgrade from my S5. However the gold is too gold and the pictures are definitely much different. I thought it would have been a lot softer gold as it described than it is. Not very happy with the gold and wished exchanges were allowed. A little pricey mistake.
I use this watch primarily for running and was a little worried since it weighs a little more than the forerunner series of watches. I quickly adjusted to the weight and I love the longer battery life. I felt I was charging my last Garmin 3 to 4 times a week and now it is once to twice a week. I run about 6 hours a week using both GPS and music. It has a bright display and is intuitive to use. Storage is great for all my music. I feel it is sturdier than the forerunner series that I used previously. I love to look at all the extra data that I get from the Fenix 7s. I have a small wrist for a guy so the size is just right for me. Overall couldn't be happier with my purchase.
I still have a lot to learn about all the capabilities of my watch, but so far I love it! Especially the battery life! Surprisingly use the flashlight a lot as well. Looking forward to learning and growing more with my watch.
