Does what I want it to.

I bought this watch primarily to help me monitor my health metrics (sleep, heart rate, etc...) and also to keep track of my outdoor activities (running, mountain bike, horseback riding, hiking...). It does all of that and more. I LOVE the daily suggested workouts. I wish there was a way to get rid of some of the extra things, like golf, which I will never use, but whatever. It was a tough decision between the Venu 3 and this, because the Venu has some features I wanted that isn't available on the Fenix, but ultimately the sports on this one won out. I am still learning all the settings and how to do things, but I'm confident that once I figure it out, this will do all the things I want it to. It's very capable while also being a nice looking watch for everyday wear. I love that my watch supports horseback riding, because a lot of other fitness platforms don't.
I have used many Garmin watch products over the last +-15 years. My latest Fenix 7 sets the benchmark. The extensive features and functions gets me excited to hit the road running or cycling more often.
Purchased Fenix 7S for me and my wife because we were tired of Siri constantly trying to insert herself into our daily conversations. It was astounding to see all of the health data on the watch for workouts, sleep, stress, and ability to recover to mention a few. It is so far advanced compared to the Apple Watch without the invasion into your privacy. If you are into fitness and learning more about your body and how it responds to each workout take the plunge into the world of Garmin.
Was planning on a new Venu, since this was the same sale price I decided this was a better deal. So far I like it, probably more than I need. Can’t wait to try it on all my summer activities. I think it is dressier than the Venu that I had.
Bought to monitor my e-bike battery. Took me some time (& help) to figure it out, but works great. So many great perks about this watch. Garmin excels at tracking for a variety of activities and long battery life. LOVE the flashlight on the Pro - use it all the time. I love this more than my Apple Watch 8!
I’ve used a vivoactive for years and liked it. I’ve started doing more trails and needed a solid GPS function and battery life and this has been phenomenal. The price tag initially hurt but considering I used my vivoactive for hundreds of miles and daily use, I would say that I got maximum utility out of the product. Considering I plan on wearing this watch everyday and using it for long distance runs as well as health tracking everyday for the next several years I believe the value exceeds the initial price tag. It may be inexpensive for some but I try to be as shrewd as possible spending money on myself and what in my head was a luxury item. The watch has now become a necessity.
I have a Fenix 6s pro that I've used for nearly 3 years and many hours of training and races! Really love it but want to upgrade through ExpertVoice! Please please restock this watch!!!! I would love the longer battery life and the new screen!!! I love the size and the new flashlight! This a more technical watch but easy to use! Please restock so I can give it a try and recommend to other!!! Let me get the word out!! PLEASE!!!
I bought it a few weeks ago, swapping from an apple watch, and it is amazing. Great for customizing runs where I want to keep my HR low without having to look at my watch the entire time - it'll alert you when you're out of range. Building workouts (speed runs, weight lighting) in the connect app and having them on your watch is incredibly user friendly and great for the gym to not stare at your phone the entire time, or time yourself on an interval run. The DATA - in no short supply either from sleep, training readiness, etc.
