The best smart watch I've owned
on August 29, 2023
Posted by: Hokiefan0625
After years of searching and at least 8 different smart watches later, I have finally found the perfect piece for me in the Garmin Fenix 7 Solar. This watch has every feature I could want from spot on navigation and maps to amazing body Stat features to every type of work out app you could want. And the battery lasts forever! The only thing I would change would be to make the back screen a little brighter. But, it is still very legible. Overall, it's an absolutely amazing piece. I highly recommend!

Great watch so far

I replaced a Forerunner and wanted golf functionality. I have only used for running, cycling and kayaking so far, but so far so good. I can’t visibly see the benefit of solar charging at this point, but that doesn’t mean it’s not adding some charge to the battery. I like the more durable construction.

Best watch I have ever owned.

I don't expensive or spend lots of time outdoors. I only want to know what the date and time is.
What I like:
Its a true standalone watch that doesn't need to routinely synced to a smartphone. Its battery life is 1 day per 1% charge on Time Only mode. 100% charge = 100 days of battery (time only mode). It doesn't use Wear OS. It uses Garmins own proprietary OS. Looks Nice. Feels like a heavy duty hard core watch. I get to brag to my coworkers that my smart watch is more expensive than theirs.

What I don't like:
The solar charging doesn't work very well. I'm not 100% sure it works at all. I subtracted 1 star for this. If this were a model that wasn't said to have solar charging it would be a 5 star watch. They need to provide more info about solar charging to potential customers.

So far so good

Battery life is great can get 20+ days out of it. Lots of functions that are great to use. The gps isn’t the best graphics but it is functional. I enjoy it. I had a Garmin watch fenix 3gr before this and I get 7 years out of it before it wouldn’t hold a charge and all the functionality of it quit working so it lasted quite the long time.

I had FR 245. initally wanted 965 or enduro for long lasting battery and I just bought fenix 7 just to try out and I fell in love with it. fenix 7 is what you want if you like multiple different workouts.
